| I just looked at a grade of a book that I sent to cbcs with no pressing it was a 5.5. I looked at the notes and this is what it said. Notes: spine stress breaks color many bends & indents front & back cover & moisture waves through book few tiny stains back cover I’m new to grading and don’t know anything about pressing and I was wondering would a press and clean have improved the grade by a lot? Also what does Off-White/White mean? Is that good or bad. |

 I'll probably wake up constipated.

| How about scans of the book prior to submission. | ||

 It was a one trick pony show but always hilarious.

| "improved the grade by a lot?" is relative but a press and clean would certainly improve or eliminate: Notes: many bends & indents front & back cover & moisture waves through book few tiny stains back cover It's probably a safe bet that a press and clean would improve your 5.5 grade. |

| Off-White/White is referring to the page colour - and is good!! likely the bends, indents and moisture waves could be removed and would help the grade a lot. Really depends on the colour breaking spine stress and the stains to see if a bump in grade could happen - water stains, rust etc really hit a book hard. |

 I bought a meat grinder on amazon for $60 and it's changed my life.

| The bends, waves and moisture waves could be improved. Stains limit the book to the range of 4.5-5.5. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Torr102 Automatically choosing to clean and press all books in a submissions isn't necessarily the answer either. You could do yourself a TREMENDOUS favor by buying an Overstreet Grading Guide, currently on its 3rd edition. Buying comics that are already slabbed is a good way to compare and learn, though the defects for mid-level grades can be wide ranging and tricky to quantify. Personally, I found learning to grade a lot of fun, and I'm sure I saved a bundle by not buying over graded books. I'm not saying I'm a pro, but I do think I know what I'm doing. |

Quote:Originally Posted by kaptainmyke I think the answer to the OP is “no” unless you consider a 6.0 grade “a lot”. I’d say the odds are it will stay the same and it’s possible you might even be hit with a grade reduction. So enjoy way you got unless you can’t enjoy it and need to Know. |
