Benefit from press?
2 2

5 posts in this topic

I have some comics I'd like to press and have in the best condition even if they don't improve the grade and just look more clean. However, I'm worried about the books being damaged from pressing. I'm considering the screening, but have never done it before and I'm not sure it's worth the additional expense? Anyway, take a look and any thoughts would be appreciated! Thank you

Most of the damage is color breaking so pressing wouldn't make much of difference but a cleaning would definitely help the grades. Also IMO not worth screening with older books since the grades may vary plus you need 25 books. I'd just get these guys slabbed. I'm jealous! Some great books to have in a collection!

I'm wary of pressing anything before 1970. 

And some books are mid and low grade. They won't improve much through manipulation. Their flaws tell a story of ownership and enjoyment. Pressing sometimes ruins that.
