Are these grader's notes common AFTER the comic has been pressed? 0

[O Doyle Rules]

I recently got back an X-Men #50 as a 9.0 after a CSS pressing. Here are the Grader Notes: 

light spine stress lines to cover
very light creasing to cover

Should a good pressing removed such defects?

If the spine stresses break color they cannot be fixed by pressing.

 

This is the reason I asked - no mention of any of the stress lines breaking color - I do not see it - Should not a pressing took care of such defects?

Some creases leave a faint remnant, others can re-appear if a books cover is opened and the person has gorilla hands. This can be true even for creases that don’t break color. All depends how bad they were to begin with. 
 

In this case a picture is worth a thousand words.

To add to Joey's reply (consider his the final word on pressing), "reversion" shows up a lot whether it should or not, particularly in the work of amateurs who rush. In those situations, whether the book remains free or gets locked up, the comic will continue to take revenge for its gross deformation until the pulp-lust is satisfied!

Grader notes are typically vague and not very helpful, which is why we would ask for pics.

Gotcha. The comic is back in CGC's hands now to get reholdered due to excessive newton rings. When I get back I will see if I can take photos that will show anything. Thanks to everyone!

This, this and this. When you think about all the processes involved in pressing and grading a comic, the one process you don’t want rushed is the pressing. There a more involved than wham, bam thank thank you slam. Reversion can happen, and if a book is quickly pressed,  thrown into a box and shipped to CGC (especially in the Florida summer) a lot can happen to a book that has not had time to sit properly. 
 

This is why I don’t apologize for my TAT’s. I could get 30-40 more books done per day if I rushed things. I know what a book needs, and that can vary even if pressing the same issue of the book. Many factors to take into consideration that the quick pressers don’t understand, don’t care about or simply are unable to do.
