I just started pressing. I enjoy seeing you as a somewhat new presser killing it. It would be great if you could post a video of you working a book from start to finish every week. No need to edit. Maybe even live. I'd watch the whole thing. Great work!

@ImproveCollectingComics 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for the suggestion, I may just do that! I have limited time to work on books right now, but will explore that idea in the new year. Happy holidays!

Wow. This Transformers comic adventure is really inspiring. I need to get to cleaning & pressing.

@ImproveCollectingComics 9 месяцев назад

Thanks, and yes you should!

Been watching the channel for a while. What really separates you from the other slabbers is can tell it's not all about clout and you truly enjoy the hunt and work you put into your slabs

@ImproveCollectingComics 9 месяцев назад

Thanks!

@msmith2033 9 месяцев назад

Wow, that transformers one Stinks that you have to get it re-slab but hopefully that other one gets prescreened again

Great return on your submissions. I think it's great how you've pretty much improved your childhood books, and now you are mostly cleaning and pressing for profit. You've been making the hobby pay for itself for awhile now.

Hi and thanks!

@Kcameron305 9 месяцев назад

Ive had so much bad luck getting two 9.8s for similar copies. Almost like CGC doesnt like giving you two. Great work as always.

@TheRealChigs 9 месяцев назад

Which one brings you more joy/excitement? Pressing a book you bought and making a good profit or getting a high grade on a book you’ve had since you were a kid? Great content! Keep it up!

@ImproveCollectingComics 9 месяцев назад

Childhood books, and it's not even close. And thanks!

@T-RexSuplex1 9 месяцев назад

It be nice to get the cost, including shipping and grading, to really get a feel of how much you really invested and not just the cost of the book.

@ImproveCollectingComics 8 месяцев назад

I include all the cost in my numbers! The buying cost and net profit all include the taxes, fees, shipping, etc!

Dust adhering to fingerprints. The dust is consistent with what the paper product is made of from the box, box packing.

@ImproveCollectingComics 9 месяцев назад

Man.. whoever packed that must have ate a greasy cheeseburger right before shipping to me

I think it would be fun to speculate wildly on what the deal is with that Transformers #1 slab and the bag it came in. Leave your theories below.

@BrandonMcIntyre541 9 месяцев назад

Asbestos.

@ImproveCollectingComics 9 месяцев назад

Ah hell.. I'm in trouble! lol

@ImproveCollectingComics 9 месяцев назад

My guess is they use axle grease for soap at CGC

@johnnydropkicks 9 месяцев назад

@@ImproveCollectingComics Hahahaha! “Axle grease!” 😆

@vgpackpulled9748 9 месяцев назад

Do you put them Up for auction or set price? Are you selling on eBay?

@ImproveCollectingComics 9 месяцев назад

I sell mostly on shortboxed, but these are almost always gone before the videos go live. I am about 2 months behind on video editing

@johnnydropkicks 9 месяцев назад

Should/could these Transformers books be labeled as a multi-pack edition by CGC - or would they not do that because the regular direct and multi-pack editions are exactly the same?

@joehenry9546 9 месяцев назад

They’re not reprints though. These were unsold first prints, repacked in poly bags.

@johnnydropkicks 9 месяцев назад

@@joehenry9546 That’s what I thought they were. If there are no distinguishing features on a comic from a multi-pack, then it’s just a regular 1st printing that was gathered up and put in a bag - and shouldn’t have a different designation on the graded label.

Why are non keys getting cgcd lol....yaaaaawwwnn

@ImproveCollectingComics 8 месяцев назад

I collected before we really even called keys keys.. In fact, I don't remember ever talking about keys with anyone until I got back into collector 2-3 years ago. A key is in the eye of the beholder, and non "keys" have a lot of value as well sometimes!

@kirbycarpenter9775 9 месяцев назад

Throw that bag away and wash your hands. 😂

@ImproveCollectingComics 9 месяцев назад

I did, thanks for the tip! I doubt we really want to know what that really is... #scratchmuch?

@dollarbinvulture 9 месяцев назад

You paid WAAAAAAAY under market value. That's where most of your gains are from. It's kinda weird that you seem to be implying that your press and clean generated those gains but the reality is that the deal you got when you bought is what generated most of the gains. Good luck!

@ImproveCollectingComics 9 месяцев назад

You are very right.. we make our money when we buy, not when we sell
