Is it worth pressing/cleaning this FF#1 0

I'd highly recommend a poster who actually responded to this thread

Personally there is no need to press this book right now. It is fine as is, and if the owner decides to sell

, have the work done just before putting it on the market.

its a great book I would press and clean before you sell.. but for now I would of just kept it safe in the slab as to make sure I wouldn't damage it by accident... I recommend mylar and acid free boards to store it until you're ready to sell.

Congrats on a great book.

I would send it to CCS. Let them handle it, but I would think with those notes a press would be helpful. 

I would NOT send it it CCS. 

But I would have it pressed.

Not sure if you know of or heard of Susan Ciccone of the Restoration Lab, but I spoke to her recently. Sent her pictures, and graders notes from CGC. 
 

She said that theirs always a potential risk that even after pressing and cleaning, that CGC will recognize the book and grade it the same even after pressing. She also said theirs a risk the book could get damaged in the process, and transportation to CGC after. I’ve been told she is one of the best. Am I just being greedy and it could bite me in the ?

also make sure storage conditions are correct, keep away from light, heat and potential water.. in a climate controlled environment with decent/stable humidity and should be A-ok.

I agree 100% on the death part, but the taxes part can be debatable as so many don't pay taxes.. but that's another topic, with another issue, with political and economic influences, where this is not a proper venue to discuss it on the CGC boards..

That's how some of the biggest criminals have been caught.
