Nor does it look to be CAUSED by errant pressing.

I don't believe it's a manufacturing issue given that the OP's problem can happen to ANY comic if improper techniques were. As a presser myself, I have actually made the exact same mistake as seen in the OPs example when I was first learning.

However... I've been told by the moderators that I am prohibited from explaining the fix, but I am free to say that it CAN be fixed.

Pressing and restoration techniques cannot be discussed as clearly stated in the Rules. Since CBCS does not do restoration; I’m sure it is to prevent liability if someone were to ruin their book after being told how to do something Via the CBCS Forum. No one wants to deal with that especially if you were involved only through 3rd party relation at best. CYA.

So without before and after pics I can see no grounds for a complaint, other than the amount of time you have to wait. ditto. I don’t see anything a press would have fixed. I am also confused since OP stated submitting “mid grade books” to test grading. You submit a Modern in less desirable condition and gripe about a non pressable defect or cut back not being corrected?

I kept seeing threads closed and etc. left and right and nobody explaining why. I actually don't really understand the reasoning I guess I thought it was just so people didn't do things themselves and disrupt a CBCS revenue stream, but if it's more a liability thing I guess that makes sense. Kinda weird, though. But thanks @DrWatson

	I know no one does, but it might save someone a lot of tears if they would read some of the stickied threads at the top of the page before posting half cocked or fully loaded.

	The book in question is Ghost Rider #15 which was commonly produced with the cover a little smaller than the interior pages. I dont know if that is what the OP is complaining about or not. He never replied to my PM asking for clarification and the invoice number. That said, I'll lock the thread to prevent it from tempting anyone to tapdance around the rules. If the OP wants his concerns addressed, he is more than welcome to reply to my PM.
