Cleaning up a Batman 181 ! WHAM !

CLEANING UP BATMAN #181 ! WHAM !    

Here's a good example of what a nice kneaded eraser and a gentle touch can do for a book that is just caked with dirt and grime.

   Especially the back cover ! It was filthy people ... the key is to go easy and work your eraser to the edge not along it. It's very easy to tear a book by the edges and spine if your are not careful.

   Now this issue has yet to be pressed so you'll see some imperfections remain and it could use a nice even flattening. But as far as cleaning it up maybe a .5 jump in grade alone for just that lil bit of work. Not bad for a $2 Eraser huh ... give it a try on your lower end books first, and as always if you have any questions go ahead and ask !

Dry Cleaning Example New Teen Titans #44

Here's a great example of a small dry cleaning project I had today. First off I'd like to thank Tony for letting me service his great books.

This New Teen Titans 44 had some black scuffs/marks above Deathstroke's  head. What it was exactly I wasn't sure but I was able to dry clean them off. Some marks that are on the surface of a book come off very easy , while  others are into the paper won't come off with any dry cleaning. 

Thanks again everyone for the look ! Next up is more examples of cleaning off crud.

And as always if you have any questions about the service I offer shoot me an email any time @ asebullion@gmail.com

3 Marvel Silver Age Books to Watch

3 Marvel Silver Age Books I'm Buying Now 

Tales of Suspense #77 

WHY ?


  • First Appearance of Peggy Carter ( #Marvel's Agent Carter ) ! 
This book folks is still flying under the pickers radar ... why ? one ... its not even listed on CGC slabs that this is Peggy Carters 1st App. , SHOCKING i know. Two i think some have her confused with Sharon Carter who appears in the 2 issue before #77. Different people , Grab this book now if Agent Carter Blows up ... this will be the book to get. 


Amazing Spider-man #31 

WHY ? 


  • 1st Gwen Stacy 

Yeah yeah I know ... already a major marvel key book ... but with her coming into her own series this year this should be a BUY BUY BUY , secure your copies now! The Spider - Gwen series is the next Harley Quinn  ...  popular with females. Jump on board now with this silver age key book. I see nothing but steady gains with this silver age gem.

Thor #146 - 149 

WHY ? 


  • Origin of the Inhumans 
This is a long range play as there are other Inhuman books to get and these don't have a huge upside but i think some gains can be made. When 1st appearances get outta reach people tend to shoot for lower priced alternatives. I like this book as a cheap option, Fantastic four 36,45,46 are all getting to sick levels in all grades when these all can be had for under $15 very easily.
