Chemical washing gets a conserved label? 3 hours ago, joeypost said: If they detect it. From what I understand, an aqueous bath is easy to detect, while some chemical baths are a lot harder. 3 hours ago, THE_BEYONDER said: What is a wash conserving? 3 hours ago, comicquant said: There could be corrosive contaminants on the cover. A wash, in some cases, can extend the paper's life. 3 hours ago, joeypost said: You can do a lot to a comic IF you don't plan on sending it in for grading. Lots of defects and stains can be removed to make the book look better, but the book obviously is now conserved or restored. There are several processes that can be used by conservationist to extend the life of books and clean them. Although as Joey said most are detectable. Here is a post by another board member where he shows some of his tests using his conservative method to remove lignin from the paper as well as torture testing the after effects.

Owner's son is running the show now. It's been a year since I've been there, so I'm outdated but they've been trying to modernize. It feels like a Facebook hustle with variants and press & flip, and amateurs trying to punch up, which I guess everyone is to start. Just not my cup of tea.

I found some beautiful raw books there 5-7 years ago though, the tail end of a high end collection. My ASM 300 9.8/9.8 double cover came out of there, raw, for like $135.

I dont think asking these simple questions will make amateurs rush out and try the stuff I'm talking abt there are plenty of youtube videos and websites to lead them astray.
