someone with moderate skills can improve the spine without ever pressing the whole book.

In a perfect world CGC would have graders stay in their tiers, so that grading would, at a very minimum stay consistent. The reality is that resources are likely directed where and when needed. Add in experience and personal taste's (i.e. some may go easier in foxing where other graders may blast it) and you may wind up with inconsistent grades based on who is actually grading the submission.

Bay Area recommended comic pressers?
joeypost replied to FigaroToe's topic in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues
When I spoke about books being in the mail I meant post pressing. -
The defects introduced by a poorly pressed book can be compared to books stored improperly. If you stack books incorrectly you wind up with stacking curls or spine rolls. These would be listed as defects, and I don’t believe I have ever seen notes mentioning improper storage, yet the way the books were stored resulted in the defects. The same is true for a book that has been pressed and hydrated poorly.

I agree that the less time spent in-transit is best. -

I just got the grade two days ago, so very recent. I’ll post a scan once I get the books. -

Very. I’m at CGC this morning and hopefully I can get an audience with someone. -

joeypost replied to Wally's Comics's topic in Comics General
I just had a cracked out 9.2 that I CPR’d come back a 3.5 with staples detached and a 3 inch spine split. I’m sure they will blame it on the third party pressing. -
