    The one thing they also do not tell you is if they will even do a press and clean on your book even after you paid for the service. I had a submission of ten books that I had sent in and they held them at CCS for almost 9 months before forwarding them to CGC for grading. Once I got the books back I was really shocked with some of the grades I got back to include what was in the graders notes. I had three books that were in their original polybags, so when the notes on those books indicated polybag creases then I knew that CCS had not even pressed them. I had another book that wasn't polybagged and it came back with fingerprints in the graders notes. I then decided to never use CCS ever again. Like you said Bry learning how to press and clean comics is not that complicated and I have had some amazing results doing it myself without paying someone else for the service or the long turn around time.

    • @BrysComics
      @BrysComics  Před rokem +5

      Exactly why I don’t recommend CCS, poly bag creases can be very difficult to remove, sometimes requiring humidity. I have no doubt they pressed your book but it was probably a quick press and clearly wasn’t enough. The fact that they “called it good” is garbage…

    • @Kcameron305
      @Kcameron305 Před rokem +1

      Yup. Horrible experience with CCS. I had a couple more modern books with the most simple pressable defects. Every single one still had them. I couldve got them out with my presser. Guess that's what I get for being lazy. Ccs is a total scam.

    Super helpful video Bry, especially for those just starting out submitting to CGC. I wish I had seen your video a year or two ago when I began my journey of CGC submissions😂. Oh well, a day late and a dollar short is my motto. Your videos are such a great educational resource for the comic book community. Thank you very much and keep on posting!

  • @MrPelletty
    @MrPelletty Před 7 měsíci

    after making my first large submission a few years back i was blown back by the amount i needed to pay for cleaning and pressing from cgc. Since then i have decided it is a better investment for me to learn how to do it myself. If you are doing 10 books or less a year I would let someone else clean and press your books. Now I am able to remove stains, yellowing, soiling, bends and far more issues that ccs would ever address with much better results. From what i have seen they are doing all the basic things but they have fantastic machines for pressing.

  • @jasonsmith4686
    @jasonsmith4686 Před rokem +1

    Another great video, Bry! The spreadsheet breakdown was really helpful, and confirms how important it is to learn how to press your own books.

  • @gregm7269
    @gregm7269 Před rokem +4

    If you remember, CCS used to offer two options of pressing: "quick press" and "full/reg press". Then one day they said in an email they have improved pressing sooo much they only have one option to choose from now.....pretty sure it's ALL the 'old' quick press now. Which means very minimal results.

    Looking forward to my 1st not framed by myself
    But to put me one up graded silver age. Can be graded 5.0 wall. I'd still be blessed!

    Great video. Thanks for the info and tips. I asked myself the same questions about CCS pressing. I've started pressing my own books, rather than paying extra fees and further time delays on returns. It's hard to imagine paying 15 extra dollars for a process which they do not clearly define.
