Another little gem found at #halfpricebooks, a 1st appearance of @dccomics #Parasite, in #Firestorm. It has some issues, but I know I can still do some wonders with a little #comicbookcpr, before & after pics once I get back home! #comicbookcleanandpress #comicbookpressing #dccomics #comiccollecting
Such a nerd I use pics of my comic book pressing results as my wallpaper cause I find them so damn sexy!!! #nerd #geek #comicbooks #comicbookcleanandpress #comicbookpressing #dork
Golden Age fans, this one’s for you.
All-American Comics #21 is on the table and it needs some serious love. Before-and-after pics coming soon—watch this space!

More #ComicBookCPR practice, thick color breaks that were a challenge, but still happy with the results! #comicbooks #comics #comicbookcleanandpress #comicbookpressing #comicbookconservation #WhitmanComics #WaltDisney
My own damn fault, but I hate self-sealing comic book bags. Happened the day I got it, wasn't being careful ugh #comics #comicbook #comicbooks #warriornun #warriornunareala #ninjahighschool #comiccollecting #comicbookcpr #comicbookpressing #comicbookcleanandpress
$1 bin practice book for more #ComicBookCPR. I keep working on '80s & older books, don't worry I finally have some modern book practice coming #comics #comicbooks #comicbookpressing #comicbookcleanandpress #comicbookconservation #DCComcis #LegionOfSuperHeroes
More #ComicBookCPR, with the 1988 50th Anniv issue from @dc.com comics. Thin wrap practice, I'm not ready to try wet cleaning to remove the water stain, but pressing wise, once again a win #ActionComics #Superman #comicbookcleanandpress #comicbookpressing #comicbookcleannpress #comic #comicbook
My agent Aaron of @aeutalent.com gifted me this amazing copy of @marvelcomicshqs.bsky.social #Thundercats #1, #CBCSComics had a signing with the writer #DavidMichelinie that I couldn't pass up! #Thundercats #comics #comicbooks #MarvelComics #StarComics #comicbookcleanandpress #comicbookpressing

This one’s a before shot — this Ginger issue just came in and we’re about to start on it! It’s getting the full treatment: a dry clean, spine roll fix, and a professional press.

I'm never paying for pressing again, so much happier with my own results! Got this pressed last year for the #CBCSComics signing w/ #LarryHama, but cracked it for the #ToddMcfarlane #CGCComics signing. Bet I'll get a higher grade! #comicbookCPR #comicbookpressing #comicbookcleanandpress #DIY
Gigantic grade bump on a classic!
This picture came from one of our clients — Wolverine #1 jumped from a 7.5 to a 9.4 after pressing. We work on these every week, but it’s always rewarding to see experience pay off.

Getting ready to press these for the #cgccomics @toddmcfarlane.bsky.social signing coming up using #comicbookcpr #toddfather #comics #comicbooks #comicbookpressing #comicbookcleanandpress #marvel #spiderman #incrediblehulk #ozzyosbourne #venom
Wow! Could not be happier with the results on this signed #AmazingSpiderman #300! Dry cleaning, hot shot on spine tics, and 24 hour 3 press process. So clean!!! Now, off to #CBCS for slabbing! #ComicBookCPR #comics #comicbooks #marvelcomics #spiderman #comicbookpressing #comicbookcleandandpress
Up next, #AmazingSpiderman #300 signed by #davidmichelinie. Few more spine tics on the back than I realized, but still prepping for grading/conservation/display. Thanks to #ComicBookCPR by #KaptainMyke #comicbooks #comics #AmazingSpiderman #ToddMcFarlane #comicbookpressing #comicbookpressandclean
Well, didn't turn out as nice as I had hoped, I have a feeling the higher temp/humidity ratio affected this press. This may call for the #hotshot method to fix that dent. #kaptainmyke #comicbookcpr #comicbookpressing #comicbookcleanandpress #comiccollector
This beautiful copy really doesn't need much work. Besides a permanent stain, doing a dry clean, overnight press, then off for signing by #DavidMichelinie #CBCS #ComicSky #ComicCleaning #Restoration #kaptainmyke #comicbookCPR #comicbookcleaningandpressing #comicbookpressing #comicbookconservation
Taking a break from the day job & prepping some books for an upcoming #CBCSGrading signing. I find this to be so zen #comicbookpressing #comicbookcleanandpress #amazingspiderman #comicbookgrading
It's quite handy to have the @comicgeeks.bsky.social app when finding treasures like this in a used book store $2 comic box in amazing condition. Quick dry clean & press, then off to #CBCS for grading! #comicbooks #comicbookgrading #comicbookpressing #comicbookcollector #comicbookcleanandpress
Nice stack of some challenging cleaning & pressing practice. @americanairlines.bsky.social #comicbooks #comicbookpressing #comicbookcleaningandpressing #archie

💧WATER DAMAGE? WATCH THIS.💧
This Conan the Barbarian came in warped and rippled from water exposure. After multiple presses and techniques, it’s back to life—flat, clean, and ready for grading.
