Man, this answered something ive sat on for a minute Im building up a stack of comics to send off and i had heard about pressing and wondered when exactly itd be useful _and_ i had noticed with a lot of the recent "regular" comics from either DC or Marvel (and sometimes smaller) are alittle wavy fresh off the stands right out the stores boxes and it had me thinking if it would hurt the grade because its not actually affecting the comic but if pressing can straighten that out then that really helps put my mind at ease sending off some of these basic DC covers (Specifically the second print of Nightwing 79 💪)

I still think it's funny how we all used to feel like polybagged comics were worthless if removed from the bag. It's better that we open them now, I think, because now they can be read. Though I do wish that the graders had a way of keeping inserts with them.

Great stuff! I bought a Ren & Stimpy Show 1 newsstand a couple of months ago that came in a poly bag. This is for my PC. I wanted to display it, so I removed it from the bag. If I ever want to get it graded down the road, I’ll be sure that it’s pressed beforehand.
@highvoltagemark9870
@highvoltagemark9870 3 жыл бұрын
The reason the grade is so harsh is because the crease affects every page in the book. So as a whole every page has an indentation / crease which detracts from the over all grade in aggregate. Hope this helps . I’m a fan of your videos, keep up the great work.

I want to thank you for this video my friend. I have never heard of this “problem” with such a harsh penalty for books like this in poly bags. Especially this monster modern key. I just dug out my raw copy of Ultimate Fallout #4 three weeks ago and it looks phenomenal sitting in its poly bag, which itself is bagged and boarded. But now I had to check out my copy for sure and of course I have the poly bad dent right down the middle of my otherwise perfect beauty. I’m glad I know now before I even think about sending it to be graded one day I need a professional press. I will forever be in your debt for this most useful information. Thank you so so so much.

Well, got my books back today, and sure enough, there was a giant crease down the middle of both the front and back cover of my newsstand polybagged X-Force 1. Got a 9.2 from PGX (no haters here, this was my first time using them, I have to learn somehow, right?). Anyways, it makes sense that the seam on the polybag, which is super thick, could impress on the back of the book it was covering, while my other bagged issue of X-Force 1 in front of it in the longbox impressed its polybag seam into the front of the graded book. Needless to say, I'm just starting out, getting the feel for the grading companies, the comics I send in raw, and currently researching the pressing/cleaning techniques that many collectors use. So, I call it a learning experience for sure. Isn't it ironic, though, that at one time you were told to keep the book in the bag so it doesn't lose it's value. Nowadays, it's more valuable out of the bag and in a slab. Funny how these things change. Anyhow, great video. Keep 'em coming!

Thank you so much for this video. I just got a group of comics back from CGC yesterday and 1 of them was a poly bagged Spider-Man #1. I got a 9.2 on it. I looked at the back and saw the same poly bag impression on it. Otherwise the comic was perfect, so that explains it. I have 2 more Spider-Man #1 (newsstand version and the silver Canadian version). I cut them both out of the poly bag this morning and took them to my LCS to get pressed. Saw they both are perfect, but have the same thing on the back. Hope the press seals the deal for 9.8’s on them. Thanks again. This was great info to now have in my back pocket. You rule!!

That light indentation seems almost like a production flaw. An 8.5 would have been enough punishment("correctional process"?). But now we know: buy ALL the 7.5's, crack, press and send in for slabbing! There's many of the collectable cards that come in the '90's polybagged comics that are worth a lot. If you are lucky, they could pay for the book and more. Several of those cards-graded/slabbed-have sold for hundred$ or for thou$and$ for perfect 10.0s this year. But I wonder if it's possible to find both a 9.8 worthy comic book bagged with a 10.0 trading card. That would be uncanny luck.

You should do a followup video with new grade. Hope you get a 9.8. As a pressor, FYI, UF4 sometimes needs to be pressed 2-3 times to get the indentation out. Even then, the indentation can be too deep and not come out completely so no guarantee on the 9.8 but definitely better than 7.5.

The irony is that once it’s slabbed the poly bag crease is probably hardly noticeable. It’s also odd that the grading companies will accept bindery tears and miswraps in 9.8s but not waviness or this polybag crease which are also results of the manufacturing process.

So a few years ago I submitted a Spider-Man 1 to CGC that was polybagged and it looked GREAT. Got it back and it was a 9.2. It was so long ago I can't remember if I got it pressed. As for getting a press, if you were to send a polybagged book to get pressed by a third party and then send it to CGC would you get the "Poly Bag" note on the CGC label? As for the CGC turnaround times... I just got an email that they are doing a signing with Josh Brolin (that's like the third signing email I've received in the last week or so).

It's interesting how 1. Removing books from polybags (for grading) will reduce the overall population of polybagged books, and will most likely increase their value in the long run. 2. the condition of sealed bags enclosing a product is very important in the video game market, so it's interesting that here it isn't considered, that feels like it could be a mistake.

Honestly if you're planning on slabbing I'd take em out. Longer they're not being subjected to those creases the better

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Keep on hunting sounds great; matches your channel better as you said. Besides, look at the average view duration of your video, what percentage watches the videos till the absolute end? I don't think its never too late to change or upgrade anyways. Again, thank you! ~NammaN~

Very curious what grade you will get when you press and resubmit. Based on the other comments here, it seems CGC's standard hit for the poly bag crease may be more like 8.5 or 9.0, which would indeed seem more reasonable than your experience. So your book may have other defects which the grader notes didn't call out (I hate that!). I'd examine the book again very carefully before you send it to your presser. Good luck with it!

Did you test your theory with the UF 7.5, have it pressed and sent back for new grade?

Great video man! I was thinking about poly bags and whether or not to take them out because the one Gamestop variants I have had pretty beat up poly bags. So for the polybagged comics you mentioned, what do you do with the inserts that come in the polybag (if they have any)? Do you still submit those along with the comic to CGC?
@MintHunterComics
@MintHunterComics 3 жыл бұрын
CGC sends any inserts back to you anyway, so it's better to just hold on to em!

Paying that premium tier at cgc and they don't contact you to say this would be a huge grade bump with a press is kinda shitty. Even if they charged a premium for a quick press most would say go ahead and do it. Now you have to wait a ton more time to go thru process all over again

Great video! I have a CGC 9.6 ASM 361 1st Carnage NEWSSTAND. It is in a old slab from 2012. I know for sure that it has never been pressed or cleaned. Do you think I should crack it out, press it, and slab it and hope it may come back a 9.8? Would you say it is worth the risk considering that a CGC 9.8 NEWSSTAND is selling for around $2,000+? Your thoughts. Thanks!

Sometimes... make sure the graders notes show something that can be pressed otherwise spine ticks and things can't be pressed and the grade will be the same

I can more than understand that - the only problem is through time that crease will get harsher and harsher and indent the comic more and more :(
