randylaf Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I have an older cgc signature series slab I got off of ebay and I want to get it reslabbed with the newer slabs and get rid of the current newton rings. With that being said, would I be able to send my cgc slab to CGC to get it first pressed (as it could definitely use a good pressing) and then reslabbed? I know you can get your older slabs updated with the new slabs but can I also get it pressed before getting it reslabbed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Teacher Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 This is most definitely possible. randylaf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you definitely can but I THINK the only pressing service CGC would allow at this point to retain the SS label is CCS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a couple of pressers that can retain yellow label . Also a few of the facilitators for the Signature Series can take the book for another signing to add Signature and press the book before sending it to CGC. Many options available.

Since they are considered part of the company. Also a lot of those do offer their own pressing. Iconic1s, randylaf, Skunkboy and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Absolutely, if you use CCS or other select pressers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rexinnih Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 As others have stated - yes. I have done the same by selecting pressing and regrading when submitting slabbed books. Note there's a heck of long turn around time for both right now. randylaf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is no longer the case. Those pressers have been revoked, it is a new development. Now only CCS (aka CGC) can remove a signature series book from a slab and press it if you want to keep the yellow label. If any of your have SS books sent to those pressers that have yet to reach CGC, I would contact them asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still believe the facilitators can work on CGC SS books as they are directly affiliated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, facilitators can crack open a book and add another signature, but you'd have to verify if that facilitator can press the book or must send it to CGC/CCS. Lots has changed now, we can't assume it's the same as before, no matter how logical it may sound. Also with the current state of things, there are a lot less options since facilitators do their thing at events most of the time and there aren't as many these days. Basically, if the OP wants to reslab and press, then the main option here is to send to CGC/CCS directly.

Too many self-entitled wanna be pressers and facilitators were calling CGC and asking why some were allowed, and other were not allowed to CPR yellow labels. It got to be too much and CGC made an executive decision. I don't blame them TBH...but, as in most cases, the few ruin it for the many. You can thank many of the Facebook pressing groups for this change in events.

Just want to say thank you for the services that you have and continue to provide. I still prefer to use you. Unfortunately with the Signature Series that option is not longer there, but to be honest I do not do near as many of those anyway. Thank you again!

CPRing yellow labels is a tiny, tiny fraction of my work. The only real impact it will have on me is knowing my loyal customers will have to go elsewhere. onlyweaknesskryptonite, Drew Stair and randylaf 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I will still continue to send all of my regular books through you. Always greatly appreciate the work you have done/continue to do and the spectacular results. Thank you again.
