DocGo Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 On a submission that recently shipped, I got the following notes on a 9.6 that wasn’t pressed: very light bends to cover, very light rippling to cover. It’s scheduled to be in my hands on 3/1, but without looking at the book, these sound like pressable defects, do they not? Haven’t submitted a book that’s on the 9.6/9.8 border in a while and wondering what you guys think of the text the graders used (was a Walkthru). Thanks!

Lightning55 Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 So you had a book that was worthy of spending $150+ for Walkthru, but didn't get it pressed? Now you're thinking of tossing those funds out and getting it pressed and re-graded? Yikes!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin76 Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Ive seen "light bends on cover" on pressed books, no idea what CGC is seeing that the rest of us aren't djzombi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think there is a lot of “copy/paste” going on with some of these notes. djzombi and steveinthecity 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topnotchman Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 The book definitely sounds upgradable with a press. DocGo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was previously pressed more than a decade ago and didn’t think it needed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topnotchman Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Getting a book graded will at least let you know where your at, many books do not benefit by pressing. If the book looks sharp a straight sub and hopefully for the 9.8, if not now you have notes to identify some possible flaws. Evaluate and decide on pressing and re sub.

theCapraAegagrus Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Reads like press-able defects, yes. DocGo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or this PRESS SCREENING in the first place - $15+ or $150+, your choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin76 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Starting to think CGC puts light bends to cover on purpose because they see it's didn't go through CCS, so it'll entice you to have CCS press it for a higher grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake Dragoon Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 I recently bought a CGC 9.4 comic that happens to be the rarest TMNT volume 1 CGC 9.8 to get (V1 #16 1988, only 2 on census). But I read the graders notes and it said the same thing (light bends on cover), so I snagged it up. The comic arrived, and sure enough it just has those ripples from the heavy ink (?) at the manufacturer that can easily be pressed out. I haven't sent it in yet, but I remain hopeful that it will get bumped to a 9.8 so I can do a happy dance all night long! I hope your comic arrives in the same manner, and we can both be winners! But ya, it does sound like it could a CPR candidate, as long as the grader didn't leave out spine ticks and blunted corners. GL DocGo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin76 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Also CGC seems to find stains that no one else can see but them. djzombi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
