If you collect graded books, there will most likely come a time when you want to crack a slab either for cleaning and pressing or for signing. Books very in their ease to open depending on the grading company (CBCS, CGC, CBCS). This video demonstrates the how to safely open (un-encapsulate) a CGC graded comic. The tools you will need are a chisel (or flathead screwdriver), a clean working area, a pair of gloves, a piece of cardboard or thick backer board, and ice cold resolve!

Are you interested in increasing the value of your comic collection? As comics age, they often accrue dirt and grime, which negatively impact the “grade” of the comic and ultimately the value. Comic book “dry” cleaning is a process for removing dirt or stains from the covers of comics without the use of chemicals. By learning and applying the process of cleaning, you can remove many of these blemishes, significantly improving the look of the comic. Cleaning is often combined with comic book pressing, the process of applying heat and pressure to remove bends, mitigate creases, and lighten spine ticks. There are a tremendous amount of resources online for learning how to clean and press comics; however, it can be difficult and costly to piece together all the supplies you need just to test out the process. No worries! I have saved you the trouble and assembled a Comic Book Cleaning Starter Kit that includes all you will need to start cleaning.
