Mr. Clean rules! He cleans everything.

I love the magic erasers too. I cut them into 1-inch cubes to use. I also like polymer eraser tips that you can put on the end of a pen or pencil. I feel like I have more control over small parts of the book with the fine point of the eraser.

excellent suggestion. I do the same thing when I buy valuable Raw comics before permanently adding it for storing but I use white cotton inspection gloves when cleaning abrasion and finger print because I can feel the grain of the cover more. I am 57 years old now and my eyes don't work as well as they use to, so I adapted my dads technique by using a large magnifying glass (when he check his coins) clamped to my glass work table with LED lamp for extra lighting. I also press my books using a T-Shirt press machine that I bought in E-Bay and afterward sandwiching it between two boards inside a clean mylar. I do not submit my books for grading but I do anything to keep them as fresh as possible.

That white on that Star Wars cover looks brand new after that cleaning, I'm just gonna go ahead and say it, that was badass!

Couple parts in the video I thought I was listening to Bob Ross. Lol. Awesome video Regie

Regie, you are the man! Great video. A lot of others refuse to share these kinds of skills and as always, you go above and beyond to share knowledge and skill sets that will help the community. Thank you, for all you do!

The eraser is a life saver for cleaning. You want to go slow. One side of those erasers seems more abrasive. I practiced on about 20 old beaters until I learned what worked. I take before and after shots with my iPhone. You will be amazed at the difference. It especially worked really good on the back covers and that's where a lot more dirt accumulates on the older ones. Once I was done I went over the entire cover ever so gently and wiped it with a soft cloth. Your 100% right the eraser is a huge help. You hear people saying it removes gloss but I never had an issue until I pressed really really hard which I did on a beater to see how much pressure it could take. Great video Regie.

Yes ! I've been waiting for this video. Thanks Regie

that was awesome!! So glad I saw this before sending anything off.. will be using these techniques!

Thanks for this video Reg

Perfect timing! My new press is coming tomorrow. Wish me luck ! 😁Thanks for all the informative videos, Regie!

I almost cried when you burned that absolute carnage.. :( lol. Sheesh dude. Great video series. LOVE these.. very good tips I hadn't thought of.. both ..pressing and cleaning.. thank you!

Haha, one more thing. I use microfiber cleaning towels out of the auto department in most stores I get them from the dollar store. They are lint free and absorbent. These towels will clean 90 percent of the comic without any ink removal I have found.

You've become one of my go-to sources for collecting info. Thanks for another helpful clip.

I watched this video last year before I subbed to you, so here I am giving my 👍. You got some ASMR action going here 😂🤣. Cheers Regie!

Thanks, Regie! Such an informative video. Wow, I had no idea there was such a difference between the inks of the modern and older era books!

Brother absolutely killed this how to, awesome approach using a magic eraser. I never would have thought of it, and I’ve never witnessed for myself someone doing the same. Thank you for the value you bring

Very informative, Regie. I will use your techniques when I start trying to clean my comics. Thanks!

I have purchased those microfiber cloths in a 50 pack for $10 at Menards. The rags pop out similar to a tissue box. I also use them to wipe down vinyl records. People also use magic erase to clean turntable stylus. Thanks for the information ℹ️

Okay this is awesome 👏🏽 I swear I was going to say magic eraser on ready set go, and Ive always been a little scared to do cleaning on books even though I’m super ocd about cleaning my house 😂 You my friend are doing an amazing job thank you for the amazing videos!!
