Blair's Comics + Collectibles Started selling comics 6 years ago, and then became a full-time comic and collectible seller, cleaner and presser 5 years ago. Services Pricing list is pinned!

I have pressed over 1,200 comics and magazines for my own sales & over 600 items for clients.

10/08/2026

Got the results of another of the biggest books I've ever worked on!

I'm happy, the client is happy, it's a happy day!

ELEVEN PRESSES STRONG!!!!

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 ELEVEN presses for a total of 12 magazines or 24 comic books pressed every day, 7 DAYS A WEEK.

I have also currently pressed and submitted over 1800 books for grading for myself, I've pressed another 800 or so of my own to sell raw, and have pressed over 900 books and magazines for clients. I AM NOW A PSA AUTHORIZED DEALER, meaning faster turnaround times.

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.

Continuing my battle against tanning/foxing/staining.

No loss of ink and a big majority of spots on the rear cover are GONE-zo. 10,000 hours of aqueous bath and BLED work, here I come!

Honestly, I am trying to get to the point where tanning/foxing just leaps off the page as I get close to the book. "Yeah, you BETTER run, punk!"

Lost a little ink at the top of the page where there was already color break, gotta tweak my recipe a little. Still feel the brightness is a good tradeoff, but losing ink ain't kosher. That's why I practice on my own books!

Happy comics, ya turkeys!

(As always, ImmaculateComics is the catalyst for all this work. Thanks!!)

I am still LOVING PSA x Shortboxed GRADE AND SELL AUCTIONS, comprised of books that get sent straight from grading at PSA to Shortboxed, where they get auctioned off and shipped *BY* Shortboxed. Great exposure on their platform and saves a ton of time listing and shipping!

I currently have 13 slabs at auction, and they end Sunday, 9/27 around 4pm PST, link is in bio, and I always appreciate the support!

Yay, comics!

Getting my 10,000 hours in bathing comics and applying blue LED light treatments to get brighter, cleaner comics every time.

Yes, I've had ink loss in some baths (Silver Age books are so sensitive and varied in paper and ink), but overall, I have my process down and love seeing the results.

ImmaculateComics is probably getting tired of me thanking them, but their help and products got me over the hurdle of being afraid to try this technique. Now I do it almost daily! So thanks, Rick and team!

BATH TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME!!!!

I mean, I had cleaned and pressed an Avengers #1 before (thanks to Coastal Carolina Comics ), but this is a LOT of trust in my hands right now, and I don't take that for granted for a second.

After 5 years full time, 165 submissions to CGC and PSA, and over 2,000 collectibles slabbed, I feel pretty damn proud of where I am.

And next year is gonna be even BETTER!

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

All the love in the world shout out to ImmaculateComics , whose guidance and products are part of my every day collectibles improvement work.

Great results for this client's sweet key. (Next is to ask him if he'll let me bathe his X-Men #1!)

I'll tell you, I'm a LITTLE worried about some of my books in the Shortboxed PSA Grade and Sell auction ending Sunday, 9/6.

All 5 of these high-grade Pokemon Powers have FMVs in the $300-500 range, and they are all currently sitting at $21 or less.

I know, I know, auctions often have folks sniping at the last minutes, but if you or someone you know likes Pokemon, you can bid on these and possibly get them at a price that'll make me weep!

Tell a friend! Shortboxed link is in the bio, and I also have 14 Spider-Man slabs listed, too. Happy hunting!

(And my WORD, those Pokemon Power labels sure POP with that red PSA label, huh?)

Massive shout out to ImmaculateComics

Their products are part of my every day work life, from heat press metal sheets, to Immacuclean for daily cleaning, to BLED light chamber for sed for these results. Couldn't ask for a more honest company who genuinely cares about what they (and we) do.

Happy weekend!!
