Results from CCS Pressing services 1 1

[Buck Biggins]

I have a handful of books that I thought should have graded higher or were damaged in shipment to CGC. So after years of wondering what a press might do (some as old as 8 years), I sent them to CCS this past summer. I could have saved money by purchasing higher-graded copies but these were signature series books that I plan to keep and the creators have passed away. The results are below. Out of the 7 books, 6 went up in grade and 2 received better page quality. Overall, I'm happy with the slight bump in grades. 

Mystery in Space 75 Signed by Murphy Anderson -> no change in grade or PQ
Mystery in Space 78 Signed by Murphy Anderson -> from an 8.0 to 8.5, no change in PQ
JLA 15 Signed by Murphy Anderson -> from 7.0 off-white to 7.5 off-white to white
Tales of Suspense 80 Signed by Stan Lee -> from 8.5 white to 9.2 white
Wonder Woman 205 Signed by Nick Cardy -> 9.0 off-white to white to 9.2 white
Detective Comics 292 Signed by Sheldon Moldoff -> 7.0 off-white to white to 8.0 off-white to white
Our Army at War 203 Signed by Joe Kubert and Russ Heath -> 9.0 white to 9.2 white

The books look excellent and now you can stop wondering.  I too have been very happy with my professionally pressed books.

To be clear, I will say I am happy with the PRESSING, not the grades.
