Why do Anti-Pressers HATE pressing?

[BarryAllen]

I like it when I buy a slabbed pressed book, CPR and still get another grade bump.

 

Press + Press = 3 Presses!

I don't remember which book I have scanned and posted, but it happened several times with White Mountains. CGC ignored it.

 

Found it here.

 

 

ah, my old FF #35; sold it as VF/NM, pressed to an ink running 9.6

Just a noob dropping by.

 

And you found a 6 year old thread to bump.

 

Yes...noobs are well-known for their ability to find and read old threads so that they do not, unwittingly, create redundant threads.

Pressing is restoration no matter how you choose to see it.

Artifically improving the appearance of a vintage book with heat and water has gained popularity due to keys being financially lucrative. As a collector I don't knowingly ever want to own a book that's been pressed - it seems immoral. Some of these so-called die hard collectors seem to be huge advocates of pressing and flipping for profit, they might've been collectors once upon a time....

 

 

Good luck with that. I used to feel the same way, but now, that jig has been up for a while. Your only guarantee is to find old, original owners' collections & buy them all. And that gets tougher every day.

It was well played - most interesting few forum days I've had in a while.

Only in our hobby where someone can destroy a book and still flip it for more $$$

 

Love it!

that makes me so sad

[slym2none]

You're all funny.

 

Looking

 

Sometimes I get lost in thought, and people will ask me what's wrong. They say that because they think I am making a face.

 

Nope - I'm just ugly.

Why be sad? Pressing is undetectable! That's a result of stacking....

Then there's the impacted staples on pressed comics graded 9.6.

I agree those pictures are sad

[Azkaban]

I'm partial to White Mountains and that just pisses me off

[namisgr]

And the incredible shrinking covers on comics that used to be unpressed 9.2s.

 

Which is the nicer comic?

Pressing seems to be one of those sciences that is an art.

[namisgr]

It was pressed by CCS.
