| So, what are the suggested guidelines for the best candidates for pressing? I'd imagine I should skip any books with any slight rips. Any tips would be appreciated. |

| Basically anything that breaks colour is a no go for me. Writing in pen is bad but pencil or grease pencil can be cleaned away. Certainly rips also - unless a special circumstance ( I have a Weird Science #7 signed by Feldstein that I am considering getting pressed and cleaned and VSP'd that has a rip) | ||

| It depends in what the potential value is. I am currently pressing some golden age that have few minor chip and edge tears. Normally I only send in high grade GA (8.5 & up), buy these are all golden age #1's that are 5.5 up to 8.0 but they still are semi valuable even in those grades. Like I am expecting a 6.0 to 7.0 on a Ghost Comics #1, in that range its a 400.00 to 500.00 book. So I base the pressing an grading candidates based on their potential value. | ||

| Any flaw that doesn't damage ink should get fixed by pressing, so even if a few flaws break color you can still benefit if it also has a lot of non breaking flaws. | ||

| So, if there are breaks in color, would the pressing process make them worse? | ||

So we decided that a press/clean will remove writing in pencil on the cover? Auction ends in an hour on a silver age key with writing on the cover  |

| @Thanatos indentation of writing (like the homework was on top of the comic) will press out. Actual writing with ink or graphite, not so much. | ||

| So, does pressing assume cleaning as well, or is that separate? | ||

| @Thanatos it can be removed if you know what you are doing. The Manuel Pacifico I spent only about 30 minutes on so far. I cleaned it and pressed it. Not sure I will do much more to it. The paper quality of that giveaway is terribly cheap and thin, Unlike the magazine which has much better paper to work with.     |

| @Logan510 because your comment was unnecessary, and subversively snarky. You knew to begin with what I was referring to, but chose to make your snarky comment anyway. And this has been a pattern with your posts in the past. So don't be snarky in the first place if you don't want snarky back. | ||
