Yea... its a train wreck. Rubs. Tics. And just overall not presenting well.

Good news is they'll be someone else's problem soon.

So I've decided that this comic will be my money pit project. I have cracked and pulled her from her tranquil tomb to find several spin ticks that don't brake color (thank you white cover). One is pretty bad that borders on crease territory which I am trying to work out. I have managed to work out all of the ticks and will give it another good pressing. Now, do I submit it to CGC or give CBCS a shot? I'm leaning CBCS but I wonder if they will also knock the cover defects like CGC did.

So it appears the grade was accurate?

From my experience and from you tube videos, CGC has been hammering modern books lately. What used to be 9.8 is now coming in all over. However, unless you submit to cbcs some type of express service you are doomed for a long wait. I mean an incredibly long wait. Your call but personally I would have left it alone.....

Seems so, it appears that the light creases my not have been the 2 cover "defects" but rather the spin ticks that I either missed or regressed. I do realize that cracking it was not advisable and will be sending the label in to have it removed from the census.

Yah, I had settled on leaving it be but my inability to leave well enough alone got the better of me....

@consumetheliving You may want to edit your post just a little bit because it's a big No-No to discuss pressing/cleaning technique on the forum. As soon as you mentioned a 'work out with a **** *****' you entered the danger zone.

I've been pressing books for years and have never heard of a "tick board".

Got a product link?

Are you hoping they'd ignore them?

At this point, not sure that the factory creases were accounted for in the CGC grade. We shall see once I get it back from CBCS.

It seems that if a book doesn't come back as high as the submitter thinks it should have gotten then the first step is to blame the grading company for their mistake, not the shoddy pressing job.

I usually bang my head on the wall a couple times because I missed some obvious defect.

Reversion can happen too, especially is cases where comics sit at CGC or CBCS for months on end. In this situation, I cold pressed the comic before sending it out so not sure how I missed all the ticks.

I can see arguments for both especially if your not handling the pressing yourself. I have added new steps to my process and will be taking more before and after pics. This way I sanity check myself and can also have ammo in the event that CGC or CBCS do make a mistake.
