It's always interesting for me to see the before/after video or pics of pressed books or any other resto work that's done. I'd like to see some 'befores' of books in worse shape.
Big difference in taking out all those little indents. I wonder what this would grade out at now despite that crease still visible under Thor's hammer?

Does he slide everybody's books around like that? After seeing how haphazardly he handles a silver age key, I wouldn't feel comfortable recommending his services.

If they run their website like a lemonade stand, how can anyone take any of their services seriously?

It did look a little awkward when the open side of the book was the lead side. I'd prefer spine side be facing forward when it's being spun around, but I'm sure he knows what he's doing.

Frankly, even with all the bull that Dice has spewed in the last year, I was still INCREDIBLY shocked that he would do this to ANY comic, much less am Avengers #4. Does he not think this has any effect..? What the hell is wrong with these people...? Am I just some freak of nature who understands that these things are made of PAPER, not steel, and have to be handled GENTLY...? It's...it's just shocking. Completely, totally shocking. I wish I could say Dice should know better, but after his shameful behavior running their message board, I am NOT surprised. And I hope he reads this. I should make a comment on the Fecesbook comment section.

I am SO glad I'm not the only one who noticed that.

And if these are the "pros" doing stuff like this imagine the amatuers who just bought a new press. Pressing has this hobby up but good, but there's no putting the toothpaste back in the tube.

Somebody should start a thread on the CBCS' board talking about this video. I'd love to see the sheep try to defend this.

That video does remind me that the voices of people on this chatboard probably don't sound like I think they do. Dice has more of an accent than I thought. I bet Slym does too. And of course there's Bats, who knows what he sounds like. I wonder if my accent sounds funny to you guys

It's like I said when CBCS' starting noting newsstands on their labels, you and maybe 4 others will use this information they way it should be used, research and knowledge. The other 95% will use it to maximize their profits by maximizing the book's potential (my favorite Borock pressing quote )

lol I was wondering what you Texans sounded like too. Rickets sounds more like a "Texan" than I do. I made a conscious effort to not sound like the (CENSORED) rednecks around me when was growing up. I emulated the anchors on the national news.
