The running joke in certification is when something becomes too hard or unprofitable to detect, it's the next notch on the "unable to detect' list.

 

One can only chuckle at a defense of pressing that lauds it as a benign process on the one hand, and one that few collectors care about, and yet on the other bemoans the prospect that identifying it on the CGC label or graders notes would place a stigma on pressed books and lower their desirability and value in the marketplace.

 

It is benign. Few do care. Most don't.

It's probably only fearful to a few because they know some a-holes will go out of their way to make it a bad thing.

It's probably more of a concern to CGC, because if the the slim chance in hell it did become a stigma even in the eyes of just a few, Or better yet, just the fear of a stigma would be reason enough for customers to choose a competitor. There is legit competition for that service. Something CGC isn't used to.

 

Other than that, Bob, why don't you go back to figuring out which books to press, or which books you can market as unpressed (potential for upgrade) in order to maximize your profit on each individual book. Or partner up on some more books that get pressed and subbed on site in order to increase odds of getting the best grade possible.

 

Then come back and tell us how much you disagree with pressing, and show us some more recessed staples that have been that way for 50 years.

 

To make a long story short. STFU, Bob.

I just got through reading an article on thee transfer of trace amounts of silicone from release paper liners. The amount would miniscule and would depend on the brand of release paper, but it should be detectable by several methods, including the device I have. I;m really intrigued now and may try it out as soon as get a chance.

 

I can see CGC's next News Announcement now:

 

"CGC purchases CSI (Comic Structure Investigations).

 

CGC & CSI owner Theageness announce a multi-billion dollar buyout of the new pressing detection system. Now for an additional $29.99 per item you can have your comic tested for signs of pressing. $39.99 Fast Track option available, as well as $19.99 CSI Detection Notes option."

Thank you for your suggestion. We are currently evaluating your proposal. As you know, we are most interested in either the financial or non-financial impact this might have on us or someone. Therefore, we will need further discussion and a commission to study the effects. Ask us some questions about it. Just don't expect any real answers.
