CCS On-site Pressing at Wizard World Chicago

In conjunction with CGC’s on-site grading, CCS is offering on-site comic book pressing at Wizard World Chicago. At this show, collectors can get their comics pressed and graded in the same weekend. We will be pressing all comics — both graded and raw books, regardless of age. Space is limited, so make sure to submit your books to us as soon as possible.

On-site pressing tier pricing:

• Modern (comics 1975–present, valued US $200 or less) — US $20
• Economy (comics valued US $500 or less) — US $60
• Standard (comics valued US $1,000 or less) — US $85
• Express (comics valued US $3,000 or less) — US $130
• WalkThru (comics any value) — 2.5% FMV, min. $250

Submitting:

We begin accepting pressing submissions Thursday afternoon, August 21, at the CGC / CCS booth. Comics submitted to CCS by end of Friday stand the best chance of getting graded by CGC at the show, but if space and time allows, we will continue to accept submissions Saturday for on-site pressing. We will also accept submissions for regular pressing throughout the weekend. Any comics submitted at the show and pressed on-site but not graded by the end of the show Sunday will be immediately graded at CGC the following week and shipped back to you at our cost.

All CCS / CGC fees must be fully paid before your comics can be picked up at the CGC / CCS booth.

Get a head start on your on-site submissions:

Collectors Society members and dealers use the CCS online submission form, then mail your books before Wizard World Chicago for show pickup. Submissions must be clearly marked for on-site service and must be received at CCS offices by Monday, August 18. (Tier pricing will be adjusted to on-site fees.)
