silverseeker Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 One way to potentially limit damage after pressing is to see if the presser you choose will ship books to CGC on your behalf...this will save you one shipping leg (from the presser back to you), and I'd assume most reputable pressers will pack your books very securely for the trip to CGC. This is, of course, assuming you're not planning to submit your just-pressed books with a bunch of other books and want to open only one invoice with CGC...

There are better options out there...do your research. PKJ, greggy, Randall Dowling and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootin-str81 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 You all probably already know this but just in case, somebody mentioned the possibility of dropping off their books directly to CGC in Sarasota. I live fairly close and was wondering the same. Maybe I am a control freak but shipping pricey books concerns me. The website says they stopped accepting books from the public due to COVID. With things in Florida being what they are, I called to see if that policy was going change in the near future. The answer is no. They are no longer going to allow the public to drop directly. Next call is to Joey!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bludriver Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I never had my books pressed, but the info in this thread is helpful. I have a question...If you are not sure if the books would be improved by pressing, would someone like Joey Post make that decision for you when you send the books to him? I would not want to pay for a pressing where it would be useless in improving the book. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some charge...some don't for this service. Bludriver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every submission we've sent through Joey had at least 1 big winner. We haven't sent a ton through either local guy so our sample size isn't conclusive but Joey's results have won our business Joey is the best in the biz. And I told you so.

Do you want it done right or do you want it done fast? When I choose @joeypost, I know it will be done right. I am willing to wait for this.

Somewhere in the stacks and heaps of comics at CFP are 48 of my own, waiting to be pressed to perfection. iexx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkowl Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Joey is totally worth the wait. I’ve always had him press and submit my books, and have always been more than satisfied. I honestly don’t think I’d have anyone else do it. Skunkboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
