Is this safe to press? 0

If I may gather quick feedback. For those comics where there is a crack down the spine (picture attached), are these safe to put through pressing/cleaning? The cover itself has some light creases that could be pressed out easily, but not sure if that will further expose the cracked spine. I'm sure if I worked with someone that could tailor their pressing services to my needs, it would be a non-issue, but generally speaking ... will the comic be further damaged if put through standard pressing? Thank you!

You can send the book to CCS and they'll evaluate it for you, but generally speaking, books with worn or fragile spines aren't usually good candidates for pressing. I hope this helps...

The Platinum Edition of Spider-Man #1 is notorious for cracked spines due to the thick cover stock used. IMO it is more the ink cracking than paper damage that makes the spine look so bad. I have yet to run across a copy that is not safe to work on, but there are always exceptions. This one would need extra care, but it safe to press.
