Kerdese Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Is this book eligible for pressing? It has a sticker-like feature on the cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Jennifer F. Posted April 21, 2021 Administrator Share Posted April 21, 2021 Good morning, We'd have to see the book to make a determination on if pressing would be safe. We recommend you utilize our screening service to see if the book would be eligible for pressing. Screening is a $10 minimum or 1% of the declared value, whichever is greater.

Administrator Jennifer F. Posted April 22, 2021 Administrator Share Posted April 22, 2021 Hi, screening is not a requirement but it is the only way we can tell for sure if a book is a good candidate or not prior to the pressing process. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iconic1s Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 (edited) @Kerdese I have used CCS to press all kinds of books and am familiar with the book you are mentioning. Although I have not had that exact book pressed, if you intend to use CCS I would submit it for pressing and let them take care of it... I believe they will know how to handle it. On a different note, depending upon which issue you are talking about (Collectors or Platinum) you may want to just hold out for a book with the grade you are looking for to come up for sale. If you are just talking about the Collectors Edition you can still find 9.8's relatively cheap if you are willing to wait it out. By the time you send that book in for pressing and grading, and shipping (to and from) is calculated in you are around $50.00+ for something that might come back lower than what you wanted, and then you are hunting for another anyways. Now if it's the Platinum or a book that holds special meaning then that is a different story. Either way, good luck! P.S. there's a Collector's Edition CGC 9.8 listed on eBay right now for under a hundred bucks!

It's real close to being a 9.8, but there's a slight crease in the middle that pressing should be able to fix. If I sell it raw, I'm getting dollars for it, but if I get it graded with the batch I'm sending in soon, then I can probably make $30-ish... if it's eligible for pressing. So I'm with ya, it might be a waste of money. It's real close. Iconic1s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
