if someone wants to take the time to press a comic before selling it to me for a dollar or two, i guess i don't care all that much

Not at all, as long as it disclosed and I know what i'm buying then what does it matter to me (thumbs u

[batman_fan]

I don't mind a comic being pressed as long as I know so I can pay the appropriate price for the restored book.

[Comicopolis]

Yes.

Did you know that the Mad #1 9.9 was pressed from a 9.8.

[gaz973]

I do what I can to avoid pressed books.

The fact that 34% of collectors in the poll do NOT feel books should be pressed should give serious cause for concern over this practice. There is NO consensus that pressing is OK. Therefore it should not be condoned.

Great observation

[MrBedrock]

Cool! A pressing thread!

 

I don't care if a book is pressed and I don't care if that info is disclosed to me.

I do disclose because some folks want that info.

In theory I think pressing is a fine idea. I have paid to have a few of my books pressed (never sold any) and have purchased pressed books.

However, I am concerned about possible damage to books, especially when trying to sqeeze out every last spine crease. For the light folds and corner creases pressing works great but I have seen resulting staple stress and creases turning into tears on some books. I have also seen pressed books that simply look like flattened pancakes, they look terrible.

In summary, I think we may be over doing it.

[dover]

I am okay with pressing. I like to know if it has been done, but it would not bother me if I did not know.

 

Once I have the book in hand, that is when I determine if I am happy with it or not.

[BigLeagueCHEW]

Its like painless dent removal on an original door, or having it repainted, which would you know was done?
