The above information was only posted for information on the pressing process. Since people were wondering what the process was, I Googled it and it had the most information

Care to share some reputable people or companies since you don't recommend CCS?

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply you were recommending them. Here is the link to another option.

I have zero affiliation with them. I just know they have a very good reputation.

I was completely unaware of comic pressing until a couple years back. I just stumbled onto an online article that metioned it and I wound up looking into it. I own a really nice heated print press for my photography prints so I figured I would try it myself on a somewhat low heat with some of my less valuable comics. I was pretty surprised at its effectiveness, especially for things like spine roll or subtle dents or creases. It really does make a difference. Its not a huge difference, at least not the way I do it, but its still noticeable if you have the right kinds of defects. If your expecting it to raise your grading by a full grade, I think you will wind up being disappointed. If you just looking for a slight improvement on worthwhile comics, you could find that its worthwhile. Then again, I don't have to pay for it. If I had to pay like $10-$20 a comic, I would probably pass altogether.
