I disagree. Pressing will have (most of the time) a big affect dollar wise

Oh sweet Zeus

 

Fixed that for ya

 

 

I am checking my slabs on a daily basis to see which ones are turning to dust so I can finally figure out if the book was pressed

 

So that's why that happens. I thought it was spontaneous combustion.

Does anyone else see the dfference between restoration and preservation?

Conservation? Preserve would be to keep it's current state. Unless you mean restored vs. untouched?

 

Hard to explain but I will try.

 

Lets say you have a book and a piece is torn off. 1. you can get an expert to restore it and do their magic of whatever they do with fibre and glue and such or 2. you could just add a piece of tape. Wouldn't 1. be restoration and 2. preservation.

Tough to say. But the tape could be considered restoration if it were archival quality. Scotch tape, no.

Really concentrate HARD on the "most of the time"

I knew immediately what you were saying. You didn't have to say anything else.

[MagnetoWasRight]

I'm not to worried about books I buy being pressed...I guess I would ask if I was making a high grade purchase on a key...but for the most part I don't care all that much...

Oh sweet Jesus

 

Which way did he vote?

 

Jesus was way cool. He could've turned every comic book into a 10.0 if he wanted. Jesus was way cool.

 

He could have smote pressing threads, too.

I'm just glad someone read my post - I figured it got lost in all the action this thread is getting.

Yes, but pressing isn't preservation. Preservation is when you do something so that the book stays in its current form; pressing is returning the book to a previous form. Pressing isn't conservation, either, as that's making a change to keep the book from getting even worse, such as by removing some acidic tape, or sealing a tear so that it doesn't keep getting worse.

Pressing will have (most of the time) a big affect dollar wise on valuable books.

Unless it's WWBN 32 I don't see the justification.

So....pressing is restoration. Correct?

I have to go do the dishes. Can you put this thread on hold for ten minutes so I don't have too much to catch up on?

33 and marvel spotlight 28 and 29 thirty cent variants too.

[Calamerica]

Yes I would like to know if a comic has been pressed or not because we don't know the long term effects pressing has on comics.

 

may I ask who told you this???
