Q: Are CGC graders "addicted" to pressing?

And, as an interesting aside after looking at this collection extensively I was amazed to notice that the books looked pressed even though they never have been.

 

You know that tiny "gap" at the spine/centrefold that people look for to see if a book was pressed? These books don't have that gap. It's been closed by time, pressure and humidity.

 

The covers are flat, the corners are sharp, the spines are flat and there is just a slight curve to the overhang.

 

So anybody looking at many of these books would swear the books were pressed...but they've been sitting dormant for decades locked away after being purchased fresh off the newsstand.

 

Just thought this would be worth posting.
