I think the only time it's worth using CCS is if you send in a book for an in-house signing. Otherwise I'm with you - if you can't press it yourself find someone in the community that does that you can support.

I used tian comic pressing llc never had a bad experience- cleaning, pressing, and will file your order to cbcs or cgc. Super stoked to get my signed books back from cbcs soon!!! I agree you should totally support someone in the comic community when cleaning and pressing, within reason-- idk about you, but I prefer them to be insured, if they're gonna be handling the entire process for my books. Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to your update when that venom comes back!

Spine ticks are acceptable on a 9.8. As long as the book is perfect everywhere else and as long as the ticks are less than 1/8” and don’t break color. 9.8 is not perfect..

Yeah sometimes I just don't know about CCS. I was told by CGC customer service that once it's pressed they look at it and if they feel any imperfections that are still there won't change the grade they won't press it again. Where as if you send it to someone in the community or press it yourself, more time will be spent trying to remove any imperfections possible. Good video, also I would be absolutely terrified to crack open a case. But I think I will do it eventually. I have 3 books that I'm looking to get a grade bump if possible. Later

They sent it in to CGC to get graded and pressed and it came back an 8.0! I was like, WTF! It didn't even look like it was pressed! Sent it in to CBCS to get graded and pressed and it came back a 9.0 WP with pictures and notations. Oh yeah, and the turnaround for a Silver key like mine was only about 3 weeks, if that. I am convinced that something is amiss over at CGC. I don't know if they are so overwhelmed with books or just suck but damn, CBCS was such a better experience and I will never use CGC again.
