Dave-57 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 (edited) PGM Thor. Pages are at least off-white (if not worse). Damage around edges. Scuff marks on cover. Back is dirty / scuffed. Everything is intact. Worthwhile getting it CGC graded? Thx for your time and input! Edited May 30, 2021 by Dave-57 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been trying to get an affordable FF 67 and Thor 165. Not rich unfortunately lol. Dave-57 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 5.0. Nice book. Mine is much rougher having been my uncle's which then became a reader copy for all the grandkids at the old farmhouse. Until I snagged it for my collection when I was 13 or 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've seen it as a separate service. You can press a book without cleaning You can clean a book without pressing Often times, these services are done simultaneously unless you plan to just press or clean a very small specific part of a book...pressing a single defect such as a single slight corner bend that does not break color but the rest of book is pristine, etc... or cleaning a small smudge on an otherwise perfect wrap, etc...

Dave-57 Posted July 8, 2021 Author Share Posted July 8, 2021 Thank you for the response, Funnybooks. However, I don't think your answer addresses my question. I see how cleaning and pressing are two different processes. I was wondering if you send a comic to CGC for pressing, do they clean it (if necessary) as part of that service? I don't think I saw a cleaning option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I saw a cleaning option. You need to request either or both service(s) though CCS when you submit books to CGC for grading. Pressing or cleaning is not done automatically with the grading of any book that you submit to CgC...two different services that are owned by the same company that require separate fees…alacarte if you will… All options are on the forms you fill out CGC Services & Fees | CGC (cgccomics.com) CCS Pressing | CGC (cgccomics.com) CGC Services & Fees | CGC (cgccomics.com) My Submissions | Account | CGC (cgccomics.com) Edited July 8, 2021 by Funnybooks grendelbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-57 Posted July 8, 2021 Author Share Posted July 8, 2021 Thanks again, Funnybooks. I checked out the links you so helpfully provided. I did see this information before, but being a newbie to this whole process I was probably a bit overwhelmed with the choices at the time. I see now that under pressing it actually says, "Dry cleaning a comic to remove soiling and any unwanted substance is also considered a non-restorative process, and is included in the CCS pressing service when necessary." So I was incorrect when I mentioned I didn't see this information. I had, but didn't realize it. Thanks for taking the time to respond. Now back to the regular programming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now back to the regular programming All good...it's a fair amount of information to digest. The "easiest" way to learn or gain experience is to perhaps start with a single book or two of lower "value" to minimize any regrets or mistakes. It's not the most economical way to go when you factor in shipping and time but you'll learn how the sausage is made and you'll be better informed for any future submissions. I urge you to check the threads on this forum. The collectors here are very knowledgeable or are at least very opinionated.

Dave-57 Posted August 28, 2022 Author Share Posted August 28, 2022 I ended up sending this book to CBCS as they had a Canadian address to send to. They have since gotten rid of the Canadian address and I have been waiting 14 months so far. It has been in shipping mode for a couple of weeks, but no FedEx details so I assume it hasn't left the facility. Anxious to get it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
