actually, if we were going to advocate pro active disclosure, it'd have to be a blue label and then disclosed by the person submitting (if it was known to them) on their form. Then CGC wouldn't be the only party "disclosing". The problem is, I've not heard of any reliable way of detecting pressing all the time.

 

Look, practically, if it's declared restoration, then y'know all those books sitting in blue labels suddenly become PLODs or should they all have "pressed" written on the labels.

 

This is not going to change. CGC's stance on pressing has made it completely impractical and undesirable to disclose pressing. Until it becomes reliably detectable, nobody is going to disclose. And there's no amount of peer pressure from these boards that will make it so.

 

Just imagine, if Dupcak could color touch or trim all his books and there was no way of telling, do you think that he would really proactively disclose?

Agreed, plus if CGC ever decided it is resto then how do they go about all the Blue Cases out there have have been pressed?Do they do a mandatory recall. :oOr what about the collectors like myself who will never feel pressing is resto, so all the books in my collection that may have been pressed are now PLOD and I just took a massive hit on my collection value.I dont think so! :sumo:

Not so easy for the Pressers to win the vote without all those shills, is it?

 

This result is essentially the same as the result from the other poll from September 2006, the only other time this question was asked.

A far better question would be:

 

Assuming a detectable press job, how should CGC deal with pressing:

 

1) PLOD

2) Universal with "pressed" noted on label

3) Universal without notation (current solution)

That's not the question you asked here, nor is it the one that you're tallying up.

.I am not asking, just making a statement.

Disclose:

 

Unfolding a Crease: Yes

 

Wiping off a drop of water you accidentally got on the cover: Yes

 

Adding a loose piece or chip with a very small amount of saliva, just enough to keep it hanging on in the bag: Yes

 

Scrapping a dead bug off the back cover: Yes

 

Taking tape off the front cover resulting in bad tape pull and then putting the tape back on complete with the part of the front cover that came off: Yes

 

Blood, or other bodily fluid stains, and not just disclosure as a "stain" but full details: Yes

Restoration - no. Disclosure - I proactively disclose because folks ask. Personally, I don't feel that it needs to be disclosed. I do, however, feel that if someone asks they should certainly be told.

 

why type my response when this geek has pushed my button word-for-word, except that i've only sold one pressed book, and the very tall geek that bought it already knew i had it pressed [i was so elated when it jumped from 6.0 to 9.0 that i immediately called him to brag] so i didn't have to disclose it. i am more on the "ask" than "proactively disclose" side of the fence, but don't sell pressed books really, so it's academic to me.

why type my response when this geek has pushed my button word-for-word, except that i've never knowingly sold a pressed book. i am more on the "ask" than "proactively disclose" side of the fence, but don't sell books really, so it's academic to me.

would love to know this guy's iq---seems like a genius to me.

Never say never, or no one;) I've sold one book I had pressed, I disclosed it, so I've disclosed 100 percent of the time...and I'll disclose the other 3, if I ever sell them (but I need to get them back first..I vote yes to disclosure, no to crack...and Billy and Richard, I'm asking NOW in advance, as a forever option, so remind me the next time I buy a book from you:) to let me know...Please:) NOT that I will necessarily care, but I reserve the right to know:) ...;)
