    What do the notes say?

    Obviously there are many factors involved in answering this question. The short answer is yes (if done correctly). Factors that will have a say in how well the book looks after are: have the trace lines broken color, are ink or pencil present, what kind of cover stock are we dealing with, etc. Which book is it? p.s. based on the notes i sounds like a proper press will take out more than just the tracing lines.

    What others have said is the main indicator. While there is damage from chipping, the rest of the edge is very straight.

    Books with old tape are problematic. If you want to take a chance, it is your book and you have the right to take the chance, so no one should be dogmatic with their reply. If all you would be out is $50 to see if the book has potential, I say go for it. CCS may come back and say "NO" but at least you will feel better about the overall decision. Only concern is if CCS say yes and proceeds to press the book and the spine splits, or the glue from the tape causes interior pages to stick together. Know all your options.

    How much experience do the pressers you are asking have?

    You may wind up with more "puckering" on the cover of the book if it were pressed. The areas near the tape will not expand and contract as much as the paper that is free to "breathe". This is one of those books you cherish as is.

    Unfortunate the answer is no. Best to buy another copy.

    His were waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay worse. He pressed right over the rubber pad on the bottom of the press.

    Maybe he should send books to someone who knows what they are doing. Saves $15 on the pressing but reduces the books value by $75.00. Sound like a sound business model. p.s. I misread who’s books were pressed. At least he didn’t charge someone for damaging their books.

    Another short cut shot down by CGC. For anyone who wants to press books there is only one way to do it... the right way. I suspected it was this Teflon material as I have seen others use it and I noticed this light texture that was pressed into the covers. I have worked on two books like this and removing it is not easy. Hopefully your friend has insurance or will cover you for the damage he has caused to the books already graded with this issue.

    Con was really fun. There were enough board members to deflect some of Greggy’s awesomeness away long enough for me to look at books. Heading back home to the old routine till the next show I attend in late April.

    If I had to garner a guess I would say the texture of the book looks like a canvas you would paint on, not canvassing like the police do after a crime.
  24. joeypost
    Probably stuck evaluating books for someone.

    I watched you guys take this picture. Would have said hello if I knew.
