Those of who got to the game late realize what an incredible, and now next-to-impossible, accomplishment this is. Major congratulations! I am in awe of your collecting prowess.

Should be a blast. I'm in!

Don't know the details. Read about it in a local FB group and came here to share and see if anyone here had knowledge to contribute.

The person in question has not pressed any of my books. (In fact, you are the only presser I have ever employed so far.) Saw the news about "canvassing" on a Facebook post and just wanted to spread the word here so others could avoid such a problem.

CGC has responded, and "canvassing" is indeed a pressing issue: "Canvassing refers to a pattern that has been pressed into the cover during pressing, likely from whatever surface was used against it. It looks like a cross stitched pattern." My friend reports that he's been using teflon sheets (which often have a light weave texture) when pressing books and is going back to silicone paper.

Thanks. Many of us were aware of that already, but Pebbling nor Canvassing are listed in the glossary. Here's a link to the glossary. https://www.cgccomics.com/resources/glossary/

Just now checked CGC's online Glossary. Pebbling is not listed there.

The guy I know says he's checking directly with CGC tomorrow when the office is open again. I'll keep you posted.

The person is a presser, so he doesn't send books to CCS. He says the term "canvassing" has popped up in grader notes on some books that are currently being shipped back to him.

A fellow collector in my state says he's been getting the grader note "canvassing" from CGC on a number of his books. There is no such term in the Glossary on the CGC site. I suspect "canvassing" may be a new way to refer to pressed comics whose covers are not smooth. Anyone know for sure what "canvassing" means?

That big crease on the upper right corner really drags down the value. I'll take it off your hands for $100.
