    I am so against pressing I found out that I had a Showcase 22 cgc 4.5 with white pages mind you( very rarely do they give white page notation on a Showcase 22 ) and I sold it, got rid of it. Yes, I did inform the buyer that it was pressed. Sold it for nearly nothing , I was so heartbroken.

    So we are all in agreement that pressing is restoration? I didnt think so..... Press on compadres. 😥

    I consider the boards like family and of course family will always have their arguments together but they still love each other and they still live with together it's all just the way you look at things

    You can justify it a number of ways when it serves ones ultimate goals, cant you?

    I've been a collector for 45 years, and I buy from just a handful of people that I know who and what they are about. So yes i avoid pressing just fine.

    CGC should have a label for pressed books that they themselves pressed. Let's see how that works out.

    Regardless of what people here say, pressing IS restoration. Manipulating a book to look better or grade higher is the very definition of restoration. I reject it. I would be more pleased to find a near mint condition copy instead of a manipulated book. Pretty simple really.

    Well for people who like the thrill of the hunt to find a pristine condition copy in the wild , this conversation means an awful lot to some.
