Why do Anti-Pressers HATE pressing?

[kav]

What if 20 years from now all the pressed books start crumbling. WHAT THEN.

Surely we would know they were pressed by then, or will we still be at cool books?

What kind of logic is this-a book with a shorter cover that looks exactly like a book that has 3mm trimmed off the cover, is not restored and gets a HIGHER grade. Meanwhile a book with a DOT of CT is worth 60% less. Does that even make any kind of sense?

It will not be cool at all when chunks of the book are dropping off as you hold it. All the hydrated fibers slowly chemically eroding-it's only a matter of time. Time we don't have.

The CT never made any sense to me, but that's a community problem, not a CGC problem.

Manipulation to improve the look of a book is restoration period. Stacking books is not manipulation because it is a natural action of storing comics used for decades. Stacking does not introduce water into the paper fibers which chemically bond and stick around for years doing their dirty work.

Or maybe.......... He was f-cking with all in the first place.

 

Makes you want to know how he ticks!

Are you related to Angus T.Jones perchance?

[kav]

It used to be ok to hit a book with a sharpie. Who knows how things will be viewed in the future. The best thing you can do with a book is leave it alone.

Would you rather have a 9.6 unpressed or a 9.6 pressed? If you say unpressed-why? If you say well because it hasn't been manipulated then BINGO!
