Nick R1 Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 I just sent off 4 copies of Spider-Man 2099 #1 in to be signed and i opted to have them pressed. Was this a good idea or no? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. This is a partial foil cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Balls Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Hard to say without seeing pictures - the foil 2099 covers seem to be more prone to scratching than to getting spine ticks. If you're getting them signed and graded, I think the extra money you spend on pressing at that point is probably worth it. KCOComics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Pontoon Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 (edited) If the books had defects that could be fixed by pressing, then it was a good idea. If the books had defects that pressing would not fix, then it wasn't such a good idea. Edited October 13, 2023 by Dick Pontoon Dr. Balls 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revat Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 It doesnt matter right? You already sent them off. Spend your energy on something you can control. Don't even think about these until you get them back, it won't change anything.

I just figured I would get them pressed just in case something happened to them during the signing process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaultVersePantheon Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Hi, were they able to press it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parzival Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 I never send off multiple copies of the same comic in the same shipment. Let’s say the grader is sitting down to grade your 4 copies and the grader thinks the first one is a 9.8. I think subconsciously they will compare each comic and the grades will suffer. Also it’s $20 for piece of mind and you won’t be wondering what if you had. Having said that. Find a comic presser you like and work with them. It’s usually cheaper with a better result.
