"Unpressed" noted on the CGC Label 0

[bronze johnny]

Dear CGC, 

Can you note "Unpressed" on the label for books submitted from my collection that were purchased by me off the newsstand and never pressed? If not, can you please explain?*

Thanks,

John

How does CGC determine if a book is unpressed...?

[ADAMANTIUM]

Hope that you get a response, I know that CGC can not determine whether a book was pressed or not, so that might be a factor....

"IF" they can not determine on their own, they might not take anyone's word on it.....

First off wasn't the best idea to spam the boards in three different sections looking for an answer the threads may get pulled. Second this would have probably would have been handled better in e-mail or over the phone.

I will say though it doesn't hurt to request a change the only way something is going to change if they are seeing a demand for a change.

So you're spamming the boards?

Anyway, since there's "nothing wrong" with pressing and it "can't" be detected, why would CGC even briefly consider accommodating this request?

There you go. Spamming? 

Never said anything was wrong with Pressing. Just want to know about unpressed books.

As the saying goes, this has about as much chance of flying as a lead balloon...

It's only a question. Not making any comments. In a separate section on restoration because there are great boardies that may not get to CG. Sharing on CG to get opinions on this. No ulterior motive - just a question regarding the label.

Nothing wrong with asking a question. This is America

I can't see them taking anyone's word for unpressed....closest you'd ever get was "Bronze Johnny Said This Was Never Pressed".

I could demonstrate by opening the books and having them peruse through them for a prescreen🤔

Because you cannot prove your claim and because they cannot definitively tell that the books were never pressed and would be foolish to guarantee such a thing.

Do you normally sit with the graders in person, flipping through your books?

No but I'd pay extra to do so.

I never thought there was anything other then a request for a tweak in a service request. It would also go without being said a 9.2/9.4 book stating it was never pressed would more then likely sale for more then a book in the same grade with the pressing history unknown. You said these where newsstand copies I for one would think you would have a better chance of trying to change the fact CGC doesn't list newsstands on "Most" labels then the pressing history of a book.

I do. It's to remind them they'll never see Fifi alive again if I don't get the grades I want...

What degree of "pressing" does a bag, or bag/board combo, produce...?

What degree of "pressing" does stacking books, either vertically or horizontally, produce...?

What degree of "pressing" does placing books in boxes produce...?

[TupennyConan]

All Boardies either press or pay for it.
