90sChild Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 This thread is hilarious Any time a 10 year old post comes back to the top it's gotta have some controversy. To the guy "Maximizing his profits" my advise to you is leave the books alone, most people who buy comics know what is or is not a pressable defect. You're not gonna fool people into paying more money, as raw books still won't command the price of a certified graded book anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not gonna fool people into paying more money, as raw books still won't command the price of a certified graded book anyway. Spot on. People buying online are not going to believe your grades anyway. You have to get them slabbed to have any credibility. If you sell in person, an astute buyer will see they were amateur pressed. Trying to press 64 long boxes is a waste of effort. Pick out the valuable books, send them to a real presser, and get them graded. Blow out the junk to a local dealer. And the midland books that don't fit either category, hang on to them, maybe some will get hot in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen any of his books so impossible to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
