    Keston always impresses. Thank you for allowing Matt to answer without being interrupted. Too many channels interrupt to hear themselves speak.

    Fascinating interview. Information on pulps grading was particularly interesting. Thanks for this important service you’re providing by speaking with intelligent professionals in the hobby.

      Thanks, Henry for the kind words. Certainly illuminating to hear what’s involved in certifying a new type of collectible.

    Great video as always Keston, Matt is always great to see interviewed and sharing his knowledge. Would be nice (even if you "may prefer CGC") to see you interview someone at CBCS as well. Especially with their recent new labels.

      Hi Robot, Thanks so much. If the opportunity comes up I'd definitely interview a CBCS rep. My goal is to share interesting stories and knowledge from the most knowledgable folks in the hobby.

      Thanks, BBC! Matt was providing some good stuff but the video was getting long so I broke it down into two parts :-)

    I like that you split the video into 2 parts. I enjoy long format in podcasts but for video I have less time that I can dedicate. I'm sure that was intentional. Great attention to detail. Totally unrelated, I bought my first Matt Baker today. I'm pretty sure I set the new record in grade. lol

      Hi Shane. Thanks for the feedback. yeah, I think my sweetspot for videos is in the 6 to 12 minute range, and definitely don't like going over 20. Congrats on the Matt Baker book! Way to go! May I ask what you bought?

      @@kestonsoldschoolcomicbooks6842 I bought the All Top Comics 16 in yesterdays Heritage auction. A couple thoughts... I don't mind paying fair market or even a little higher if it's a rare book and/or it's for my PC. But if it isn't rare or I intend to sell at some point, I won't even come close to fair market. I have to get a deal. I think most people are like that which lets you immediately know the buyers intent as you negotiate a price. It's also a good metric for my own subconscious as I start scouting my next pickup. If I'm emotionally compromised I know it's probably a keeper book haha

      Shane! ATC16 is awesome and underrated imho. I have a nice presenting 1.8 copy of that book :-) @@RedRockShane

      Hey look at us! A couple of low grade ATC16 owners. It's rare company that I'm glad to be a part of. 🎉
