When is it worth cleaning a comic?

Cleaning a comic is worth it if you want to get the maximum potential out of your comic. Cleaning and pressing a comic can often improve its condition by 1-2 grades. Especially with expensive comics, even a small difference in the grade has a huge impact on the comic, so investing in cleaning and pressing is often worthwhile. If you are unsure whether it is worth it for your comic, please contact us via chat, social media or email .
