comxdlr Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I have some books id like to get signed, graded, but.. Some may benefit from being pressed.. is there a 'best method' of doing this.. i.e. Do you have the book pressed first, then signed and graded? (which seems like it would take a long time), or do you have the book signed, then pressed and graded.. does the pressing have the potential to screw up the signatures? I also like to have sketch covers done.. so same question with those in mind.. Anyone had any experience with doing this either way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanfingh Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I have done it both ways. Any of the pressers can do it, if it is pre-sig. But then you run the risk of there being pressable defects put on the book while it is being signed. Not much of a risk with the good facilitators. If you get it done post-signature, it has to be done by someone who has an SS agreement with CGC. I am not sure who can do it right now, other than CCS.

bleh Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 From my experience, you have 2 options: Option 1: If you can press and dry clean a book before the creator's signature, then that's perfect. Get the signature and submit for grading. Option 2: You can still press and dry clean a book even after a creator's signature. You would just send the book to CCS, an affiliate of CGC that handles this type of work. Afterwards, send it to CGC for grading. As for sketches, I would only get a sketch submitted to CGC IF AND ONLY IF the book is a 9.8 candidate (in my opinion). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe CFP Comics have the agreement in place as well - don't know about anyone else, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
