Or let's play make believe

I would like to say this journal is about the New Mutants, but it's not. I mentioned before, what would happen if every book that was pressed suddenly became a restored purple label. This question was mentioned in simple curiosity. It wasn't meant to state that CGC should change their stance. There is no full-proof way to detect a comic book that was pressed. This lone reason is why I believe that this technique is considered non-restorative.

But I do wonder, with the amount of comic books getting pressed, does that make it harder for a non-pressed book to achieve a 9.8? I started sending in my New Mutants comic books because I wanted to know what their grades were. My issue fifteen received a 4.5 repetitively. My issue one got a 6.0, and my issue 99 achieved 9.8. These are comics that I don't mind the grade. I still have the rest of my New Mutants issues to send in and then I'll begin submitting not only my Daredevil issues, but my Sandman series as well.

My Sandman issues will eventually go through the process without going through CCS. The Daredevil issues however will get pressed. I want the best set I ever could possibly get, but do I submit all 380 issues or all 500 issues?

As I get further away from the pressing issue, are you secretive about it? Do you have them marked? Would you pay more for a book that wasn't pressed? Would you be upset if you paid a premium for a pressed comic? What if the Fantastic Four #1 was a 2.0 before you purchased it as a 3.0? What if the Action Comics #1 in a 9.0 was actually an 8.0 before being slipped between a press?

Thanks for reading
