My Latest Slabbed Comics Look Amazing Thanks to Steve's Comic Cleaning and Pressing!

I know CGC has been the news for mini-scandals off and on lately, but at the end of the day, they still are a good company to use if you want your comics preserved. I like how their slabs look and display when I have a comic I want to keep safe so I still use CGC. Before you ever send your comics to be graded, however, it makes sense to have them pressed and cleaned so that they are in the best condition possible for grading. That's why I continue to love Steve's Comic Cleaning and Pressing. Steve's prices are great, his work is amazing, and if you look at the above pictures he took some rough comics and really bumped them up.

My first appearance of Moon Knight in, "Werewolf by Night," #32 is a treasured comic of mine even if it is lower in grade. I thought it would maybe grade as a 2.0 but with Steve's work it got a nice 3.0! I was even more shocked at what he was able to do with my newsstand copy of, "Secret Wars," #8. It had a lot of foxing, wear, and so forth but he made that thing beautiful and it scored an 8.0 thanks to how much work he put in on it to get the various concerns with the comic fixed. If you ever get your comics graded by CGC, CBCS, or any other entity, I'd highly recommend Steve's Comics Cleaning and Pressing work on them before they get graded. I know anytime I continue to use a grading service I'll have Steve attend to my books first!

Steve's Comic Cleaning and Pressing Has Done it Again!

I've written a couple of times now about how great Steve's Comic Cleaning and Pressing is if you need your comics worked upon. Whether you plan to submit a book for grading or just want it to present better, Steve does fantastic work! The latest example of his skill would be my, "Omega Men," #3 which has returned from CGC as an exemplary 9.8. You can see my picture of it above and please know I am quite happy! I was hopeful the book might get a 9.6 but did worry about some waviness in the pages and how my eye often misses little concerns that CGC might notice. Steve's work made it so that the first appearance of Lobo scored the highest grade you generally see (it is almost unheard of for a comic to get a 9.9 or 10.0 outside of a small number of cases). I just want to thank Steve for his continued amazing work and plan to keep returning to him as a customer whenever I've got a comic I want to be worked on before it goes to get graded. Check his site out and don't hesitate to message him if you need pressing or cleaning!

Steve's Comic Cleaning and Pressing Continues to be Great!

I previously made a post discussing how great a job Steve Ritter of Steve's Comic Cleaning and Pressing does when it comes to getting comics looking the best they can. I had acquired some older Batman-themed comics and wanted to get them graded, but I knew they needed some work. I sent them over to Steve and he worked his magic! My, "Batman," #97 comic came back a solid 4.0, and the, "Detective Comics,"#241 with the first appearance of the rainbow-color Batman costumes got a 5.0 grade. Considering how old these comics are, I was pleased with my 4.0 and ecstatic with the 5.0! I'd highly encourage you to visit Steve's website and utilize his services. I know I'm going to keep returning to him for my pressing and cleaning needs!

Steve's Comic Cleaning and Pressing Service is Fantastic!

I've tried a handful of services that offer cleaning and pressing over the years, and only write about one if it really impresses me. Well, Steve of Steve's Comic Cleaning and Pressing is fantastic! He has great prices and did a superb job on a comic I submitted to him. I had an older, 'Star Trek," #3 from when it was published by Gold Key that happened to be a double cover (you've all seen me write about how I like double cover misprints). He worked on it and the issue received an overall 7.5 as CGC grades all the covers but the main grade is always the most interior one. You can see some pictures of the final slabbed comic below:

I personally want to thank Steve and I encourage everyone to give his site a visit and use his services!
