Hello, I've been a casual collector since about 1979, but I don't slab many of my books. I've been putting those that I consider worthy aside for a while. Now it's time to slab some silver. I've collected this set of books that need someone better than me to grade and I'm wondering what advice y'all give, especially considering pressing. Below is a list of the first batch I'd like to send in. Note that I erred on the side of the lower grade.
Asm #9 (3.0)
Aquaman #1 (3.0)
Batman #137 (8.0)
Captain America #102 (9.2)
DD #2 (Very tough to grade)
DD #4 (5.0)
DD #24 (8.0+)
2x FF #48 (4.0 both)
Flash #123 (4.0 - 6.0)

Ghost Rider #1 (3.0)
Iron Man #1 (4.0 - 6.0)
Showcase #17 (2.0 - 6.0)
T.O.S. #41 (3.5)
T.O.S. #57 (6.0+)

I'm new to this forum, I hope to stick around and post more, but I haven't been on a forum since the old comics corral days. Again, any advice is appreciated and if this site allows scans to be posted, I have them, if not, again, just give me your advice, particularly considering pressing and restoration.

Welcome to the boards. 

There is a "hey buddy can you spare a grade" section where people will help with grades and advice on pressing. 

The choice to slab your books is really a personal one. If you are going to hang onto these for years and enjoy reading them,  no need to slab. 

If you intend to sell them, slabbing helps maximize value. 

I do slab most of my big ones,  but largely to protect them.
