It's tough not feeling guilty when my year is kicking off to such a great start professionally and personally while the country is a dumpster fire, but nevertheless, things are going great here!
An influx of new year's submissions has prompted the acquisition of a NINTH press, and I'm friggin' PUMPED! The business plan has always been to grow at a rate that sees every submission at least BEGUN upon receipt, and assigning at least one press per active submission has been achievable so far...but now I need your help with a name!
NINE PRESSES STRONG!!!!
"If it's flat, I'll make it flatter!"
--------++++---------
I'm Blair, from BlairsBooks (AKA Captain Transparency).
In the last five years, I have transitioned from a collector of 18,000+ comics to a comic seller, cleaner, and presser. I’m a single-person operation, so every purchase supports me and my family directly.
I am currently rocking NINE presses for a total of 10 magazines or 19 comic books pressed every day, 7 DAYS A WEEK.
I have also currently pressed and submitted over 1500 books to CGC for myself, I've pressed another 500 or so of my own and have listed these raw books for sale on eBay, and have pressed over 750 books and magazines for clients.
Interested in cleaning and pressing? Me, too! Give me a shout!
I aim to never make anyone wait for cleaning and pressing services, and so far that goal has been accomplished.
I press game manuals, sports magazines, Nintendo Powers, comic books, posters, video game boxes, YOU NAME IT, I PRESS IT.
Link to IG listings for sale account, eBay store, and Shortboxed portfolio in my bio, currently have 500 fixed price listings on eBay, I'm always open to offers, and I LOVE deals!!!
