First Timer

Recently found a Seal 200 with an extra plate for cheap, and have been learning about pressing. I plan on practicing cleaning and pressing cheap books and getting good at it before moving to anything serious.

Any tips or tricks? What is the preferred “sandwich”? What should my results look like assuming it is done right? (so I have something to work towards)

I’m also curious about pressing at 180 degrees. From what I gather, the sweet spot for most books is 165, but the Seal doesn’t have any options below 180.

Thanks!

First time

So Im interested in grading two comics but I need some guidance with what options to pick and how to grade them. They are both signed by sam de la rosa and he did a little doodle in the bottom right of predator #1. I also need help identifying the tribute comic as I’m not sure which option to select in comic lookup. It is a tribute he did for san francisco and it is not foil. Thanks!

What is a pedigree?
