Is it just me, or does everyone seem to be pressing their subs regardless of the kind of defects these days?

 

Maybe I should open a pressing service... hm

 

 

 

Yes! A pressing thread!

When the margins got so slim that the only way to profit from CGC was to find upgradable books or find books from an uneducated seller at way below market value.

At least once a day I see/hear this:

 

I bought "insert bronze, copper or modern semi key book" out of a box at a "insert LCS, thrift-shop or flea-market". Tear on back cover and water stains on the front. I think I will press it and sub hoping to get a "insert ridiculously high grade not worth cash anyhow"!

Sure, when the defect warrants it, pressing is genius. When it doesn't, well I am not sure what to call them and not get the thread pulled...

We haven't had a good old-fashioned pressing thread in a long time!

I can argue effectively on either side.

 

Just tell me which one and I'm good to go.

 

 

Ooooh, do both!!!! Argue for (IN ALL CAPS) and against (in all lower-case)!

Wtih water stains and tears, pressing won't do a darn bit of good. :baiting:

Honestly that`s were you would make the money.

It`s much easier to make money pressing a 9.6 to 9.8

or AF#15 3.5 to 4.0,then buying a key and hoping it will go up in value in the next 5 years when you go to sell.

btw I am neutral on the pressing subject. :)
