 I haven't aired it out. It's part of the provenance.

| This is how I decide a contest theme. I look at books whose covers I like. Once I've decided on a book, I look for something on that cover that can be a theme. Instead of pulling a theme out of my @ss. |

| Some of the best themes can be found in asses. Actually, that would be a pretty good one; Show Us Your Ass! |

Your friends cfpcomics and Dale Roberts might come out of the woodworks. |

Had my most recent submission pressed by CBCS, a couple of them are covered with creases, and don’t look like anyone even tried to press them  . Guess I should have known better. |

Ok I figured out a better way of taking picks. Use the light reflecting off the case to sorta show the wrinkles.   |

Quote:Originally Posted by PhantomEwan I don't know..I've had some pretty severe issues pressed out....and while colour breaks won't go away it will at least be flatter. I wonder about the paper stock though. I had some Mighty World of Marvel where after the press they still didn't really look pressed (CCS/CGC pressing though) and the paper stock I think was the issue...although you can never discount bad CGC/CCS service...but why did I use them you say!!! - because it was for a Steranko signing (before gramps went a bit crazy) |

| I'd still post in a less obscure thread. Maybe try the pressing thread: https://forum.cbcscomics.com/topic/15738/page/33/cbcs-pressing-update-vol-1-2/#819 I'd simply state you don't think your order was pressed and you'd like to share photos and discuss it with someone from CBCS via phone. |
