You can press a book with tape, but the presser really needs to know what they're doing - so find someone who is experienced. The book needs to be pressed at a lower temperature and done over a longer period of time. One issue I've seen with some types of tape is that the heat darkens the glue...so you end up with a book that's flatter, but the tape stands out more (arguably off-setting the eye-appeal gains that you get from pressing).
Awesome intro and channel! Congrats on the big book my man… you already know im a huge ASM fan. So that one is an outstanding addition. I was also wondering about tape so I’ll have to scroll the comments after I post my comment. Thanks for sharing and keep up the awesome content! 💪🏻👍
Yeah I am still wondering about the tape thing - if I hear something outside YT I’ll let you know! Your ASM collection is nothing to scoff at either my friend!
@@NextGenCollector please do. Thinking of sending my 238 to my presser. Want the tape on the top staple gone. And thank you 🙏 I just made it a goal for this year so I’m pretty happy where it’s at
This was my FAVORITE video of yours so far. I’m so happy to see other people try (and succeed) to insert humor into an otherwise pretty dry RUclips space. Well done!
Congrats on a great book. This is the first time I've seen one of your videos. Great to have an awesome representative from the next generation on RUclips. Thanks for spending time on your video ideas.
@@NextGenCollector I would wait for a great deal on one with the tatz. Lean on your contacts and look out for it at local shows. You could get one without them and then have a trusted presser marry the tatz to the book (tatz are inserted in a few other books). That's a risk. CGC is looking out for any marrying of the tatz.

Thank you so much! This is will really help when I go out and look for someone - super appreciate it!
Congrats Hayden! Looks great even if it is low grade. Love seeing your progress and your intro was fantastic! Great video my man!
Thanks I made up the intro on the fly lol!
I definitely feel a press could make it display even a bit better.
Appreciate the support as always!
@@NextGenCollector you crushed it, and the voice freaked me out lol. Of course man, love your energy. Stay out of cuse though, thems my grounds 😂
Videos are just getting better and better!
Very nice ASM #15!!
Didn't know that you could speak French?!?
Bonjour! Appreciate that Mr. Akins!

Thanks! Just trying loosen up and make the videos little better every time.
Creativity flourishes when being yourself lol.

Thank you! I really appreciate that and hope you stick around to watch a few more!
Another big boy book of the list my dude 🎉🎉🎉 Stay legendary & much ❤
Thank you Derrz as always!
Damn! I'm still living vicariously through you with these ASM keys because they are too darn expensive lol
Yeah my pockets definitely hate my love for Spidey.
Loved the intro! Congratulations on a great comic addition
Thanks Dan! Glad the intro was a good addition.
I thought u were going to bust out that asm 50 youve been looking for. Still this book is awesome too! Congrats 😊
Yeah still working on the ASM 50 - this one came up and I just had to pounce. Thank you!
Awesome book! On my list for sure! Congrats! 🔥
Thanks 🙏🏻
Great score! I'm hunting ASM hard body this year. Mostly after more sub-100 issues. Already been making more progress with it.
Happy comic hunting!
Great pickup! Congrats! I am a Hobgoblin main but I collect Kraven and Scarlet Spidey comics. 👍🏼👍🏼🎃🎃
I’ve been keeping my eye on the 1st Hobgoblin. Still pondering if the tattoos are a deal breaker…

CONGRATS!
