ok cool that's easy enough to do

I never thought of that. But would you spend the money to get em graded or wait until you got 5 to 10 stores?

AHHHH good catch I did not know that. Thank you for that!

I am not going to want to flip it tomorrow or even the next day but 30 40 years down the road maybe. But its kinda what I thought

Hello fellow collectors, Not sure if I am posting in the right area or not but hear goes nothing. My local comic book store has released a Walking Dead #1 issue. The book looks exactly as it did when it was first released the only exception is it has the logo of the local comic book shop in the window. I know its never going to get what the original first print got, but does anyone think it would be worth grading it? Pic of comic attached

I greatly appreciate your advice! thank you again.

thank you for that. I wanted to keep the COA as its at least proof that Its not a fake signaure and just throw in the plastic bag the graded book comes in. I guess a follow up I have is a Blue Lable vs Green label at the end of the considered worthless? I mean I never see a green label on Ebay

I am 100% aware that you need a CGC witness to get the coveted yellow label. With that being I am wondering if anyone has gotten a non slabbed book from the JscottCampbell website and then got it slabbed? if you did would you mind telling me: 1) if you just took the Green label or the blue label with the lesser grade? 2) What did you do with the COA? I know CGC wont slab it with Thank you all in advance for reading and helping out.

Revat, I was planning on doing that Monday when they open. guess that's the only option

Maybe I am doing something wrong but I am trying to submit some books and I was hoping to get the spider-man label on a few books but the option is not showing. I am entering the title as Amazing Spider-Man and Marvel Comics

I dont have a picture of it at this time but I have recently got Amazing Spider #122. I have already submitted this book for grading. Its been with the CGC for a week now. The best I can do for pictures at the moment https://www.ebay.com/itm/Amazing-Spider-Man-122-Death-of-Green-Goblin-VG-F-range-Jul-1973-Marvel-/123427031205?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&nma=true&si=rrDY46KYYkGztsXAxP7LchdV0K8%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc

I just acquired Amazing Spider-Man #20. I am working on getting it submitted to CGC now.

In all seriousness I do appreciate the advice. As I mentioned in a previous post on this thread I'll probable try the iron idea on a comic from the .50 cent or dollar bin. With that being said I will further add it may be several months if not year(s) before I comfortable enough to do that with a comic I would want to slab I could seriously see me burning a hole into a comic the first few times I even try it. If not having the famed iron burn mark hell I still have a least one shirt that I burnt with an iron. but getting off subject. Anyway wax paper good for cookies not good for pressing comics

True, but it will help make clean up a breeze.

but....ill spry PAM on first

thank god the comic book store up the road has a box of comics that are all .50 cents Its something I'll try but most likely not something I'll try on something i'll personally try on this book. As its already slabbed I am not going to risk removing it from the slab and damaging it further.

Damn i hate logic. ? Doing it myself is not logical at least with this book. Has anyone had a bad expirance sending a book to get pressed? Has anyone sent there book in for pressing and look back at it as the best thing they ever done?

Very interesting! Now to clarify do you wrap the comic in the parchment paper? would wax paper work? Whats the recommended type of wood to lay the comic on? would OSB work or am I better off getting a book size pine 2x4?

Explain? I am intrigued

And for me thats more of the point its one of the first comics I bought as a kid and it does have sentimental value to me.

Sorry here is a screen shot without the grade covered up as well

As requested hear are the screen shots from the graders notes. I should be getting the book via mail in the next day to three days and I can post pictures if needed

I am guessing by the lack of response to this post that the answer is no, it is not worth it. I will not be sending my X-Men #1 special edition by Jim Lee (current grade 8.5) to get pressed then. Thank you for the help.

Hello community! This is my first time posting, so be kind, and I apologize if this question has been asked and is deep in the bowels of the CGC forms. Is pressing worth it? Can pressing bring a grade up from 8.5 to a 9.0 +? I ask because I will be getting some books back from from CGC shorty that I had graded. Two of my books have came back with a grade of 8.5 because of light bends to the cover spine stress and or light creases in the cover. Although I am over all happy with the grades if sending the books back for pressing will get me up to a 9.0 grade or higher then why not. Thank you for the help.
