I tried my first submission to CGC of my Tales Of Suspense #57 but I may have made a newbie mistake, I did not get it pressed/cleaned. I was disappointed when it came back a 4.0 because the cover looked flawless (I later had a TOS #50 come back 8.0 and it doesn't look as nice) however the grader notes stated: "medium, multiple crease right bottom of front cover, multiple crease center of front cover breaks color, multiple crease left bottom of back cover, wear spine breaks color".
My first thought was a pressing would remove most of those issues except the color breaks. IN GENERAL, any rules of thought from the experienced if I should go the Clean/Press resubmit route? I'm thinking $200 to do it ($80+70+shipping). It seems most of the issues are skewed to the "can be pressed" out variety. Any urban legends of grades jumping > 1.0 after clean/pressing?
