So one of my recent submissions was rejected when another one of the exact same era, Golden, was done. What gives? Did I make a mistake switching from CGC to CBCS? I don't think CGC would reject it. Thoughts anyone?  |

| To the right of the issue, the comic is not aligned to the cover as it naturally should. Simply wouldnt fit in a case. Press it and send it back in and the book should be fine. | ||

| Yes, You can resubmit with a pressing done. The book needs pressed and re-aligned as it naturally was to fit in a holder. Still a beautiful book! The re-alignment will definitely help it! | ||

| @merlinflex Be aware that Golden Age books weren’t necessarily an exact standard size and dimensions can vary from one book to another despite being from the same era. CBCS can encapsulate books up to 7.625" x 10.5" and .24" thick. The rejected book looks nearly 8” wide in your photo. As @Batman79 mentioned a press will fix the alignment which MIGHT correct the width to within CBCS’ allowable dimensions but there is still the chance that the book may just simply be too wide to fit in CBCS’ holder |

| Yep, looks like a good press should fix it. Can’t say for certain unless you post a pic of the side profile. Properly aligned the profile edge of pages on the outside is usually a “>” on these books, the middle of the > being the center wrap. If its just a miscut mess then you’re sol. |

| That looks like a much-loved book. Don't forget to do a page count to make sure they are all there. Pages: 68 clickable text |

| @merlinflex send for press. Looks like you could save a solid 1/4-3/8” off the width once aligned and tightened. Send pictures to your presser before sending it though, some pressers will not work on books of that age/condition. Personally those are my favorites to work on. Newer stuff is so boring. Jackster Is spot on as well. 16 interior wraps, 32 pages each side of the staples, plus cover. |

| It looks like it's getting brittle. I would not want to suggest pressing it. | ||

| Yes, it is defenintly getting brittle, can tell once I took out of bag. So maybe it cannot be pressed? Then I might need alternative just to preserve it and keep from getting damaged. | ||
