The other 6 reviews shown were very complimentary, I think. So, one thumbs down out of 7, and the only one that thinks a waste is a wast, doesn't seem to me to be an overwhelming condemnation. Was the one thumbs down a Stuiee alt?? I can't imagine why anyone would want to threaten Stuiee. he is a lovable little scamp. What's your opinion on this Parker?

"...the author is unaware or not trained on..." Ouch! I've seen photos in reviews before, but maybe that was another website. It would probably just get yanked anyway. Worth a shot! Double entendre.

Seems a little silly and not something I would do, not to mention I think it may be counter productive to label it an "un-restorative technique". That is a little bit of gobbledygook. After all, washing something to remove stains, etc., is exactly for the purpose of restoring an appearance. But, the point is, most readers laughed when SEE SPOT RUN first came out. It still ended up being pretty successful. Everybody has a Right to try.

Incorrect stance and grip. Most likely would miss. Stuiee is safe.

Double entendre. This should be the About the Author: photo.

I think it's funny that the two most prolific carnival barkers of DIY pressing information have almost no experience. The best pressers don't share their hard-won techniques, and have decades of experience under their belt. The other guy runs a t-shirt kiosk in a mall - which is why he uses a t-shirt heatpress instead of a Dry Mount Press. Another big score for social media. Yay!

I wouldn't trust Kaptainbrah to press a sandwich.

And 1950's war comics and Kav got the thread locked. Real nice. I just had a quick catch up Same here. It was unfortunate what happened to the OP, but the back and forth argument really ruined it.

No, nothing happened....and this isn't exactly breaking news, either.Stu just likes talking smack. CBCS removed Born from their website quite a while ago. Can't remember when, but IIRC, it was well before CBCS was acquired by Beckett My *guess* as to why CBCS removed the reference of Born on their /About page is that CBCS decided that Born just looks fairly young. They may have rethought having someone as young as Borne, shown off on their site as one of the two founding members of CBCS, did not represent CBCS's brand as desired. The other founder being Steve B. who is undeniably a well known, and highly respected member of the comic market.My further speculation is that Born apparently did not have a recognized name in the comic market. Or Born may have simply wanted to maintain a more private life, which I think is more than likely the case, than the guess above. As someone who did not actively work at CBCS, to my knowledge (he was never listed as a grader or anything else) it seems there isn't much point to being listed on their site, in the first place. All of the above in this post is just speculation on my part, except the first bolded two sentences, to be clear. I'll add that CGC does not list their founders on their respective About CGC page, either.

I got slammed on a couple facebook pressing pages/posts for critical posts, citing why the methods the author and other "pros" on those pages are not, IMO and IME, how books should be pressed. One group even blocked me from their page for a week or so, after stating "cold pressing books to set" is not a good idea, either. I went into about 5 minutes worth of detail on 2 or 3 of those posts, than figured I had nothing to gain and I was also just wasting my time.

But, the point is, most readers laughed when SEE SPOT RUN first came out. It still ended up being pretty successful. Everybody has a Right to try. This method, Jake has described it briefly in a facebook post as a teaser to buy his book, involves using water, apparently not directly noto the book but with blotter paper. This method does not actually fully remove tide lines and water staining, it reduces them signifigantly. There is another aquaeous cleaning method that involves some sort of chemical, which has been talked about recently (over the past year and change) in a CBCS forum thread and on Facebook. I have seen 2 guys post about it on the facebok prssing groups, stating they have fully removed water stains & tide lines, while still getting Universal labels from CGC and CBCS. One CBCS forum member stating the same. Ditch Fahrenheit Farenheit and Parker, I'd like to know what you both think of this second method...and Ditch, I'd like to get your take on the question you posed to Parker, as well.

The second method, holding the firearm, is incorrect and bad form.
Again, everybody gets to try their own See Spot Run. If it woiks, it woiks. If it don't, it don't.
