Growing up during the vibrant decades of the 60s and 70s, my greatest source of entertainment revolved around immersing myself in the world of comic books. From the whimsical tales of Richie Rich to the thrilling adventures of Iron Man, Spider-Man, and the epic saga of Star Wars, I avidly collected them all, perpetually on the hunt for the crispest and most pristine editions.

Driven by a relentless pursuit of excellence, my passion for quality led me to experiment with preserving and enhancing my beloved comics. As a youngster, I vividly recall my first foray into pressing, taking on the challenge of restoring the allure of a Marvel Secret Wars #8 with nothing more than a couple of pieces of plywood placed strategically beneath the weight of a loaded bookshelf. The gratifying results of this endeavor sparked a lifelong dedication to ensuring the utmost quality for comic book enthusiasts everywhere.
