Comic Book Cleaning and Pressing8891

Collector biscotti54 private msg quote post Address this user
Hi folks,
I am fairly new to comic collecting and I was wondering who does comic book cleaning and pressing?
I have a few that might benefit from cleaning, but only one that may need pressing. I haven't received it yet, but just thinking it might. Is this service expensive?

Will await your responses.

Welcome!!! I have only involvement with pressing and it is really inexpensive for the most part. Take a look at the CBCS fees on the site and get exact prices. At a con, they will generally tell you if a book would benefit from a pressing. Cleaning..I suppose it depends on what it is.

I thought most pressing fees was around $20 unless prices went up.

If you feel so inclined you can clean yourself. Go on you tube search comic book cleaning and look for captain Mike he has a great video on cleaning. He’s also one of us on this forum.

Cleaning is part of the pressing service.

Indeed, and has great results. Don't really think the cleaning part did much for my grade (comic wasn't really soiled), but man it presents really well; looks great post-cleaning.

I thought I read that pressing was 12 for a modern. Guess I read that wrong. Thinking of using a 3rd party when I get mine pressed.
