    I think a Silver surfer or an X-Men. Not sure but it was one of the two.

    I was on a road trip with my dad as a kid and I passed 429 up for another book.

    Got this for my Birthday last week. Strange Tales #86 by illest05, on Flickr

    BCW boxes and as for unslabbed books I use Mylite II's and fullbacks on everything. I also used archival ink on Avery acid free tags to tape them shut. That might be overkill but I like how comics look in Mylite II's.

    Although I could clean this a bit it isn't worth risking on this book after closer examination. I think cleaning a book is fine don't get me wrong, but I think the more subtle the cleaning on most books the better. This book is fine at a 5.0...

    Thanks I will keep keep that in mind. I know exactly what you mean and tend to agree with all of what you said. I think the 5.0 is a good grade on it, I was just mostly looking to keep it in that condition or make it better. Most of the books I cleaned are from the 1970's up, and know that these old books are more difficult to clean.

    All I want to do is preserve a key book that isn't slabbed by CGC and then send it in to CGC. All I want to clean up are the upper white area's. I don't see why asking about it on a key book like this required anything but a straight up yes or no opinion. No harm done..

    So there is something wrong with me wanting to clean off dirt that will harm the book later on? Are you um special? Why is it surprising to ask an opinion on this matter and on certain books? Cleaning a book only preserves the book and that is all I'm looking to do. Go cry about stupid BS on another site.. Btw I know how to clean a book without hurting it at all. I have done it many times before. The dirt in the long run is going to cause damage. I'm never selling the book. I don't sell any of my books. Jesus I hate temperamental web warriors.

    Just kidding probably from one of these, and just in the upper white areas of the book. They gave it a 5.0 and I think with a very light cleaning it could get a better grade. I have been wrong before but appreciate the advice. 1. White artists eraser. 2. Fine tipped white artists eraser. 3. Alvin cleaning pad bits. Not scrubbing at all with the pad though.
