Pencil mark removal CCS 2 2

[Lamborghinikid]

To have them remove pencil writing on the back cover ....... Does anyone know if this is included with the “press and clean” service or do I have to submit it for the restoration removal service to have it removed ? Thanks

Show us your book.

It’s a silver age book that my brother was going to submit. I will get a photo of it. It’s a pretty clean book but some wrote 10 cents on the back cover in pencil.

Light pencil writing is a pressable defect. Restoration removal deals with color touches, glue and stuff like that. There's an FAQ in the CCS section of CGC's main site goes into all this

Removing the pencil mark,  and the resulting indent will be easier than removing the actual dirt on the back cover.

One general note: always be very, very wary of removing pencil marks or other writing from books. Some of it can obviously be removed...price notations on the back cover, for instance...but some of it, like arrival dates, or other codes, should not be removed, as they may provide important forensic clues to the history of the book.

It would appear the book has more serious issues than a small pencil mark, my friend...

I agree ! It makes no sense to try and remove that pencil mark. It will not improve the grade.

Let’s see the whole book.

This is just one example. We have probably 200 books to send in. Some have pencil on the back like this and we’re just wondering if the normal clean and press will remove this, You just don’t want to submit that many books without knowing everything they will do under a service. The term “clean” has its limitations and I’m just wondering if pencil removal is part of that. If it’s something that would need to be done under a different service , we want to make sure all of those books go into that tier the first time. Thanks to everyone.

I think a regular clean and press will never try and remove a hand written date. You should really contact CGC/CCP to discuss the situation.

I agree, with this many books there is really too much money at stake to risk it. I will call them and make sure , Thanks
