I personally think the issue of pressing affects golden-age more than silver or bronze. The possibility to damage a golden-age book is more likely that silver or bronze and A LOT of golden-age books have been pressed.

 

The Grading And Restoration folder is where any pressing discussions should take place. Unfortunately pressing has leaked into a lot of areas and the same stuff keeps gettnig rehashed.

 

I definitely appreciate the role of GA in the resto area. Most important. But resto is resto overall, and the same processes and ethics etc. are applicable to all ages. So the Resto Folder should be the target, even for GA Resto. smile.gif

You have a point. That still doesn't mean I want the Golden Age forum ruined in the same way the General forum has been for me... Because of the pressing obsession I don't read General any more. If it spreads I will simply give up on the forums altogether. That would suck.

 

Just do what I do, ignore pressing threads. It took me a week just to see what this was about and I just don't have the will or the energy to comment on it any more. Might as well just bang my head against the wall, its easier.

As I mentioned earlier in the thread, simply seeing new pressing threads is annoying to me and I feel like choking people when a perfectly normal thread gets topic hijacked by people who can't seem to post about anything else.

it's some newbie posting about the comics equivalent of belly button lint or some shill posting nonsensical and inflammatory garbage."

 

So anyway as I was saying, my belly button lint is of such a quality that in microns it is saleable to the most discerning of Japanese buyers. 893scratchchin-thumb.gif

That's it, I am finished with the gold forum. If people can't even provide a URL to the right section of the thread that they are referring to then I may as well stop wasting my time and go and hang out in the general area where things are more meaningful.

Unfotunately I won't be at the San Diego Con. If some posters will be in attendance I would appreciate an answer to the following questions:

 

1)Do the dealers have any pressed comics with them?

2)How much off guide will they be selling any pressed comics for?

 

After obtaining the answer to question 1 (in particular) we might find out that very, very few comics have actually been pressed.

You`re assuming they will answer question 1 truthfully.
