Thank you for sharing. This was informative.

Really impressive discussion on the future of the pressing and cleaning industry. Thanks for this being so in-depth on not soo value oriented. Of course there is… but just nice to see the love!

Very enjoyable discussion Rick! I’ve spoken with Barry on the phone for an hour exchanging ideas. You both are consummate professionals and have special knowledge, experience and skills in what you both do. You’re both a great credit to ourcomic community. Thanks!😊

Great discussion on pressing and the chase for comic perfection.

Great discussion! I recently got a 9.9. Was a brand new comic with a thick cardstock cover and heavy pages. Jag Panzer The Hallowed (independent band release to go with an album). I got a stack of books here I'm gonna send to Barry soon... lagging.

i love CPR'ing comics, taking something and improving it is better than creating something from nothing for me. I think it's because it's so much more difficult than things such as building a model out of the box, or painting a miniature from primer.

oh wow... a tomb of dracula 9.9 ^^ i thought i would try sending in my last ronin books for grading and try for one

Quick question, can too much humidity accelerate reversal of folds and spine tics? The dimple effect of spine tics I mean.

Loved the discussion.

Any links to the book he's holding up? Is it CGC's guide?

Coming in the next comic downturn: 10.1

Will the magnification loupe work with people that wear glasses? Or do you remove your glasses when wearing something like this because i have terrible vision...because i see the little nose pads on the headset.

10.1 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

There is a CGC standard in that book but CGC doesn’t follow what they wrote in there!

😂 hanging Chad

So sad that its all about the number.Mine is bigger than yours.Little to no no love for the art or story. The biggest problem is that there are no objective criteria to really ascertain the number that is given. First of all there should be a one hundred point grade scale. Second of all defects should be objectively characterized by number. third of all The number given should be calculated not assigned.This is not a bikini contest. As long as there are no objective criteria that can be measured and calculated to me the number is meaningless
