I checked my order and my books are being shipped. I paid for pressing and cleaning and 3 of my books I’m wondering why didn’t the press I paid for through cbcs didn’t take care of these issues. I’m kinda not happy with these three. What do u all think?   |

| Reversion can happen. Odds are your books were good when they left the pressing office, but having books sit for months between pressing and grading will ensure that the reversion happens before grading as well. | ||

| this is what I have a huge problem with. Almost every book I've had pressed has come back with light finger bends. What's the point? It's just another way for someone to dig their fingers into a piece of the pie. Not much irritates me, but paying to press and not having it remain "pressed" is far from acceptable. Since when can you offer a service and not be held accountable for it? Because either it wasnt pressed, it was pressed and reverted back or the bends came from the books being handled in house as they approach grading table. None of these are acceptable to me when im being charged for the service | ||

| Yes. Especially bunched corners and spine stress that does not break color. Not only that, but pressing not always guaranteed to increase a grade either. Sometimes it can go the other way, too with spine stress and spine splits. |

| @Zombie_Head If I press a book that has 50 defects, you can bet some of them will come back. It may take three presses for some books, and that takes time. Time to wait, time to press. Businesses that press (I only do mine) often dont have the time for that, and they have customers bitching about TAT as well. I’ve heard Joe@ CFP puts books on a shelf for a week after press to ensure reversion doesnt happen. I’m sure the Ricketts has his own methods as well. The only way to be 100% sure is if they are your own books and can look at them for years after  |

| admittedly the TATs are so bad it's now an issue with reversion in house. The books should be graded as soon as they are pressed. | ||

| Shrew...I get it...I do...but most of us send in books where the only flaws are light bends and its the diff between a 9.6 and a 9.8.. so how can one justify a book coming back with the only remarks are basically light bends ? it's mind-blowing to me. if the book had 8 flaws then light bends become irrelevant. But if there's one thing that pressing should fix it's light bends. | ||

| I’d bet they would. Or rather, 2 years ago Im 100% sure they would. Idk now. Some years back there was an in-between time of cfp and in-house pressing. The guy they used sucked. Books were rippled af. CBCS regraded my books for nothing. |

Quote:Originally Posted by kaptainmyke So should it mean that only fast passed books or 2 day services would be applicable for in house pressing? I have never used CBCS in house pressing and really doubt that I will now that I have learned that the pressing service stayed in Florida as it means that books need to be shipped out. I would rather use Josh Avery's pressing services or Joey at CFP if it means that shipping will be part of any pressing formula as I am familiar with the type of work I can expect from them. That would be top notch service even if they are backed up, you know why? Because they know to give good customer service to their clients otherwise they know clients will look for other options! |

Quote:Originally Posted by kaptainmyke The other theory is that defects that can be pressed out shouldn't take such a hit on grading. And let the collector/buyer decide if they prefer a 9.8 with slight finger bends or will pay more for a 9.8 w/o light finger bends... |

Quote:Originally Posted by shrewbeer This can happen if the book is over/under hydrated or sits in a very hot environment too long between the pressing and actual grading. I let books sit a minimum of 7 days and check them again. Some need much more time and multiple pressings to "stay" and behave. And yes, it hammers TAT's for customers with stubborn books. It is the main reason I no longer do on-site pressing. |

| High Dollar Books..... Maybe But I see pressing services as nothing more than a waste of time money grab on 90% of the books people send in. I think many are baited by unrealistic expectations of these services that are nothing more than restoration work that has been accepted by the "Powers that be" to profit from. |

Quote:Originally Posted by BigRedOne1944 Exactly! It's all the rage and causing a huge delay in TAt's which in turn is stripping the quality of service. I would think the press should be reserved for high value books that either are beat to hell and can be salvaged (say bringing a 2.5 up to a 4.0/4.5) or previously graded at say a 9.2/9.4 where the notes state defects as bends. The problem is I've sent high value books in that have come back 9.4 with light bends and resubmitted with a press only to have them come back 9.4 with light bends ...so it's kind'v irritating. If I hear one more time that it was due to shipping I'll scream |
