From the Eclipse pressing webpage...

 

"...nor can we guarantee that your book will receive an unrestored label if sent to a 3d party grading company for grading!"

 

Obviously they aren't willing to make the "pressing is undetectable" argument...

A service that's been around for years is finally made available (and accessible) to the masses. Is this the "level" playing field that Bob is always talking about?

CGC views this as restoration though,...right ????????

$20.00 is pretty cheap but they require a minimum of 5 books.

Well...this thread deserved this attention.

Regardless of whether you believe pressing should or should not be considered as restoration, I would be interested to know whether people feel that the fact a book has been pressed - if known - should be disclosed.

What's pressing? I've never heard of it before.

While I have never had any of my books pressed, I have always been curious at the end result so,

curiosity and fairly inexpensive service combined, I might just have to check it out on a few.
