Questions about Pressing

[Warcrawl]

If there is another thread that answers these questions please just point me in that direction and I'll delete this thread. I wasn't able to find it in any of my search results.

Who are the trusted pressing services within these forums?

Do the services ship the books to CGC for grading right after?

What is the typical pricing rage for pressing services?

If I ship a book to a presser and they determine the book doesn't need pressed, am I charged anything outside of shipping?

Pressing is restoration - don't do it!

I have been happy so far with Joe at CFP. I haven't got a lot back yet, but what has come back was better than I expected.

CGC has an affiliated pressing service: Link

 

You will hear words of praise and horror stories about every pressing service -- as with just about any business. Whichever service you choose, be prepared for a long wait before your books are pressed, graded, and returned to you.

I've used CCS (CGC's pressing service) several times and am 100% happy. I've used them for books valued in the 10's to thousands of dollars...all with good results.

CCS does ship direct to CGC. I don't know about others.

 

Pressing at CCS starts about $12 per book and moves up by the level of service and value of the book.

 

There is a screening service at CCS although I haven't used it. A best bet is to send in books that have non-color-breaking creases. If it breaks color the press may make the damage worse.

[Warcrawl]

I see Joe is a little cheaper than CCS and doesn't charge screening fees. Ron, what has your turn around time experience been with him? Does he ship straight to CGC for you after the pressing is done?

[Warcrawl]

Also, have there been times where Joe determined pressing service isn't required? Did you encounter any kind of fee if so?

Joe did great work on my books. Definitely recommend.

 

 

[Warcrawl]

Does he ship to CGC for you afterward? Does he charge anything if after screening the book he determines pressing is not needed?

Any one have any experience with using the quick press option? Was thinking that for already high grade books it would be enough before going to cgc for grading.

[jcjames]

Does he ship to CGC for you afterward? Yes, if you request and include your CGC Submission form.

 

Does he charge anything if after screening the book he determines pressing is not needed? Don't know, see links above for his website and/or PM him directly.

 

[Warcrawl]

Thanks. I sent him a message.

I've used Matt, Joey and Mike. I think they all have their strengths, and would happily recommend any of them.

Boardie WIlson3d does excellent work. Link.

This is a CGC site. I think it is in poor taste to promote the services of others on this site.

Yeah - does anyone know of any other comic encapsulation services? :shrug:
