I’m guessing because it would put CCS at a competitive disadvantage.
Anti-pressers would refrain from bidding on books that CCS pressed because CGC would 100% confirm that those books had been pressed, instead bidding on books that could very well have been pressed but because they were pressed by someone other than CCS, CGC couldn’t confirm 100% that those books had been pressed.
There would then be the potential for a market where CCS books sell at discount this driving business away.
Thus the reason to keep it hidden and thus , by definition , when something is meant to be hidden and then it is found out, there is some level of scandal to it.
