    New arrival, despite the Brittle pages, the eye appeal for this 2.5 is amazing

    People are paying $600-$700 for "rare" newsstands which is even more crazy

    The white page copy presents better, it also has less wear on the top left corner and doesn't have a small tear on the top back cover

    Small spine ticks are allowed in 9.8, a lot of picky collectors want their 9.8's to present like 9.9's and 10s...even some cgc graders think 9.8s are on the same level as 9.9s which is why so many books are 9.8s are sitting inside 9.6 holders

    Looks like the tape is making the comic buckle

    This is what Joey meant when he told me years ago with pressing, less is more. These guys trying to learn from youtube with a $100 press, steel plates, multiple backing boards, parchment paper, a steamer and some "liquid magic forumla" for cover cleaning should steer clear of them. Knowing what I know now, I'd happily give a pro presser $10K to teach me how to do it properly, would have saved me a 3 year learning curve.

    Ok, 1st of all. The register is out to lunch. The black is printed first, at least all the presses I've worked on have been that way and then the color plates have some kind of black % in them...Think that's forest green you're printing? Nope...It's black, blue and yellow. There's a certain % amount of black ink on that black plate where blue and yellow go. The full image of what you're printing can be on the black plate, different areas of the plate are meant for lighter areas where other colors go, same goes for the color plates. Think ASM 252....background color is a brownish color, cause it has a black screen on it, yet spider-man is a deep dark black.

    Suspense 11 is probably my favorite Cole cover

    Just came back today. 1 of 2 Highest graded with 11 on census. Found locally
  25. Kevin76
    Definitely looks 9.9, those corners are perfectly sharp with no binary tears. It's hard for people to understand how 9.9's/10's are achieved. it's always "How can it be XX of a grade if it has this?

    Every dealer makes their rounds, not just Steve. At least he doesn't show up Thursday like some do.
