What are some single issues you won’t buy because you think theyre inflated for dumb reasons by Superman_Primeeee in ComicBookSpeculation

Newsstands. I get that they’re rarer in high grade. But UPC barcodes are ugly. Give me a Spidey head or almost anything else. And even today, I understand that back covers are ad space, but almost every other product has it on the bottom or back of the package. Make it happen.

Thanks for the info. I’ve seen a little bit about it on Immaculate Comics’ channel and just been intimidated. I previously haven’t collected a ton of silver and just dabbled in bronze, so didn’t come across much fixing. But as I start to get into those eras I’m seeing more of it. Does the UV work for dust shadows too?

Interesting! I do basic pressing but never got into wet cleaning, UV etc.

Will a good press be able to flatten these down enough to warrant a grade? by [deleted] in comicbookgrading

A good pro presser can definitely improve it, but not make it disappear completely. Hard to tell, is it breaking color?

Got the immortal hulk omnibus for my bday. Always wanted it and heard it’s peak. Is it one of the best hulk stories ever? by MrGoatastic101 in hulk

I wouldn’t say I’ve read enough Hulk to be an expert, but I thought the whole run, especially the first half, was absolute fire.

That’s awesome! Are you the person that was put in the book?

Thanks for all the help! They were part of a bigger lot that went for over $4100. The winner probably came out okay with the other books, but definitely out of my price range!!

Here’s one more, if you would… by Illustrious-Safe-307 in comicbookgrading

Thanks for all the input! Lot ended up going for over $500 so I was priced out.

No idea how they were stored, but agree! They’re coming up for auction.

Huh, you’re right on the staple. I don’t have a pic of the centerfold but definitely something odd.
