High Grade Modern Worth Pressing? 2 2

[comicsbuysell]

I'm curious on everyone's opinion about pressing an already high grade modern that I will send in to be slabbed. Does this help raise the likely-hood of receiving that 9.8? Thanks!

Only if they need it...and that's where a good eye for grading comes in to play.

You can post pictures in the spare a grade section here and folks will offer their opinions on pressing. 

 

That Joey guy who just responded knows a thing or two about pressing.

Joey is correct (and knows what he's talking about).

But there are plenty of people who press/clean every book they send in.  Just in case they miss something, I guess.

Fingerprints are something you may miss.

So when the book arrives for pressing and there are no flaws to press, is the book pressed anyway or do they not press it and charge you the fee?

Most pressers have pre screening available.  Of course there is usually a fee involved

Not always.

Why does everyone call it Pre-screening when CGC calls it "screening"?

It's kinda like pre-heating an oven or pre-boarding a plane...

Your getting finger prints on the books even if YOU don't touch them
