Did you know that Comiclink's software won't allow you to disclose pressing?

[mica]

Have you tried to spell pressed differently to get it past the filters?

 

Presssed Pressedd

Yes it is pretty nice how things can come to light on here.

 

It's the torches.

Why not just put it in the sellers dedscription area?

Since pressing isnt restoration, and it isnt a "grade" - - it doesnt fall under Comiclink's grading criteria. It must be set up to only accept NM, VF etc so that book scan be searched by grade!

 

Now if it gets bounced out of the description area, - - well, look out, Josh!!!

I just tried to list my America's Best Comics #7 on CL. When I typed in "This comic has been professionally pressed by Matt Nelson. It was formerly a 6.5 with off-white pages" and submitted the page, I got the following response...

 

"The string "pressed" isn't allowed in the seller's grading comments field."

 

Apparently, an honest seller is not allowed to disclose pressing on Comiclink.

 

Birds of a feather . . .

No, I assumed that if there was enough forethought to program their software to block pressing, that any spelling variation would be manually removed, probably rather quickly.

[Aman619]

were you typing in the "grading comment" box? If so, forget what I said and put yer helmets on!! Cause that appears to accept ANY text and not specific phrases.

Um...that is where I tried to put it.

You need to read better:

18 words, including a name, and the only word that gets bounced is "pressed"?

[Aman619]

call off the posse. I searched for "pressed" in the "item grading comment" and found lots of books including this description for a SENSATION#1

 

Seller's Grading Comments: Slight Professional Restoration by Susan Cicconi with paperwork. The book was cleaned, pressed and corner of spines and top right corner mended with new paper and touch up. Nothing else done to any other area of the book. Book likely graded F/VF before small work was done. No cover creasing, strong colors, no tears, excellent staple locations. Fortress included.

Item description:

(1942)1st Wonder Woman cover and 2nd appearance.

Now I'm really confused.

[joe_collector]

Maybe it's a new rule? Josh could have received one too many "What is this pressing business?" questions from buyers.

[Aman619]

well, I counted, there are 5 books up now with pressed listed in their description.

 

so try that and see if it bounces out.

Those could have been listed years ago, for all you know.. Doesn't change what you can or can't do today.

 

Has anyone entered a new books and tested this "pressed" entry?

'Pressed' might be allowed in conjunction with the mention or setting of restored grade Definitely interesting

Maybe. All 5 examples have other work, not just pressing.

[Aman619]

you can always use ' p r e s s e d ' until Josh weighs in on how the system works. He could have changed it... But 2 of the books were listed last June, 2006. If he changed it, I think it would have been done a year ago at least.

Assuming nearmint is telling the truth, this is common with a "change in policy". All the old entries get "grandfathered in", but the term is not allowed on new entries.

If he's lying, let's murderize him!

[BronzeBruce13]

Thats my guess too. Hey Carl

[esquirecomics]

It may just be that certain fields only permit words that are pre-programmed. I am little confused now but what everyone has said above.

 

I have e-mailed Josh to inquire though.
