Question

Best way to flatten/smooth out a battered-to-h**l comic book or magazine?

Answer 1

get some really heavy books like encyclopedias and stuff and put a whole bunch ontop and leave it for a day or so

Answer 2

iron it

Answer 3

Put it under text books, or really heavy books for a long time?

Answer 4

I agree with the duck.

Check it out. If it's just a cool one that hasn't much value, iron it or do the book thing. If its a priceless Superman #1, put it in a safe deposit box and call in a pro.

Answer 5

Sheeeesh... WAIT. What book is it? It makes a difference.  Is it a book from 1939? 2006? Doing something like putting it under 10 textbooks if it is a Superman #1 may actually injure the book and drop the value by thousands of dollars.  If it is from 2006, splurge and buy a new one in better shape because the one you have is worthless.  Depending on the shape and age of the book depends on how you should handle it.
