mario6241 Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Hi everyone. I'm a newbie and need your help. I want to submit comics for grading and request as an add-on the press service. I'm assuming CGC will send my comics first to be pressed and then graded, so they can be in their best condition before grading. Am I correct? I appreciate any help the community can give me.

KCOComics Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Yes, you are correct. Pressing, then grading. mario6241 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Axe Elf Posted June 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 4, 2022 (edited) It would be nice if you would list your age, so we'll know if it will be you or your heirs who will receive the pressed and graded books.

MAR1979 Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 (edited) Knowing what type of damage to a book will be lessened from a pressing is paramount. If not you are merely wasting money and time. Pressing is NOT a panacea for most grade lowering defects on a comic, it helps only a subset. Which brings it back to, learning which defects will be alleviated by pressing is key.

mario6241 Posted June 4, 2022 Author Share Posted June 4, 2022 Guys, thank you for the quick response and I will look into which comics actually need the pressing so I can save some money and "hopefully" get the ones that aren't pressed back before my heirs inherit them LOL! Thanks again. The Lions Den 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeypost Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 I know it doesn't need to be said, but I will say it anyway. Do your research on who you will have press your books. The Lions Den and Randall Dowling 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostboys Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 "CCS in process" ...and the process takes around 1 year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC25427N Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Pretty much everyone that's well-known has around a 1 year TaT on pressing, you should bring up the quality (or the lack thereof) of the pressing CCS does, not how long it takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
