Congratulations on getting the 300 finally! You’re videos have been very informative, motivating and inspiring. I recently started pressing and cleaning using some of your techniques and with my first submission I was able to get a 9.8 out of a raw Wizard 1 Newsstand. Now I get to experience for myself how rewarding it can be doing the work and share with you my success and gratitude. Thank you sir.
Congratulations! Your channel is fantastic, been following it and your progress since the start. I’m looking forward to the day when you complete that McFarlane run. Best wishes!
This is absolutely amazing!!! I definitely want to learn your techniques when you start offering courses!! I can see the rewards from all your hard work and it's inspiring!!! In a way you are giving back to the community by taking books that one may pass over to making them sought after!!! Great job again!!!
Aside from visually seeing the condition of the books in the slab, do you look at grader notes or anything to see if a bump is possible? Grats on all the bumps!
Yes, I look for notes that might indicate 9.8 isn't possible. Words like "creasing, tear, stain" etc. I look for "bends, warping, waves, pebbling" and anything pressable
Congratulations. That #300 is absolutely awesome!

Good comment on why graders don’t scan for color. I’ve often wondered why graders can’t get AI for grading ?
Kaboom!
Congratulations I just got a collector spotlight on shortbox
Thanks and congratz to you too!
I used to have 298, 299, 300 and 301 I really wish I had them still glad to see you got your collection complete

I got 299 9.8 last month, I’m now looking for 298,300 and 301 and 316, I don’t need the run.
Congratz on 299, it's a tough one

Are you coming to NC Comicon in November?
Possibly, I'll have to see if there are any conflicts
Do you clean and press for other people?
No, sorry.. I focus on the hobby side of it, learning and teaching
