I remember the first batch of books I sent you, I think 1/3 of them were beyond fragile and yet you did a stellar job. I feel like if I sent them to ccs they would of come back half a grade lower if not a whole grade. I think ccs might not have enough employees for the volume of books they get submitted so they are just pushing the books out. Another thing I was thinking was, they probably don’t have people who might take pride in the work they do. Probably do to the volume of books they get submitted. Does anyone know how many people ccs has on staff to clean and press books? I have to imagine it’s more than 20, I hope.

I bet they would have detached at least a couple of those covers!

Comparing pressing to nuclear science is pretty funny.  Sorry guys, it's really not that complicated.  @StreetPreacher is essentially correct but I routinely see people trying to compare it to some sort of highly technical skill.  And it just isn't.  

I'm not saying that some aren't better than others but let's not overstate what's actually happening.

In my opinion, CCS is doing two things wrong:  (1) They are being unethical in totally skipping cleaning or doing a crappy cursory cleaning job instead of actually doing the cleaning job they are being paid for, and (2) they are taking shortcuts when setting books up for pressing, improperly protecting the covers and staples - causing at best less than ideal results, and at worst detaching covers.  

I'm sure the volume of books is why they are being delinquent - that's a reason, but not an excuse.

I started doing all my own pressing a little over a year ago and have yet to pop a single staple.

Last 30 days he had 1,126 feedbacks.  My experience selling on feebay is that about 1 out of 4 buyers leave feedback so 1,126 x 4 is around 4,500 sales last month (150/day)*.  He has about 1 buyer feedback for every 18 as seller so it's mostly sales.

He's moving a lot of something, somewhere.

*I only ever sell old stuff, no comics, so maybe comic buyers leave feedback at a different rate or buyers hate me? 

99.7% is prob stellar in a lot of industries, but when it comes to ebay comic sellers, it's really not that hard to get 100%, or 99.9% at the worst.  Less than that and it usually indicates problems with that seller.  (full disclosure:  I only have 600+ feedback on ebay - but its 100% positive)

I had success.  Submitted a Daredevil 181 with production ink splatter on the spine, they graded it a. 8.0, the notes stated "foreign material center right back cover."  I emailed them and explained that the foreign material was ink splatter from production, which is common on late bronze marvels, and shouldnt affect the grade.  They said to send it back and theyll take another look.  I sent it back, they regraded it and gave me an 8.5.  Still had color breaks and foxing limiting the grade.  I still feel the book was in the 9.0/9.2 range, but I did get a bump after after all.

5.0/5.5.

looks about the same condition as mine, which got an 8.0. 👍
