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.
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…
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!
You sir are a fount of knowledge! Appreciate your assessment of all the ins and outs associated with CGC. So many options- it’s good to have a little guidance.
Great and timely video Bry! Getting ready to do my first submission and this was super helpful. As always appreciate the detail and honest/straight forward information.
Wow! Great video Bry! This one was super helpful. I've been collecting for many years but never had a book graded. I still might not, but it's nice to understand the system now! Thanks!
Great video. Thanks for breaking down the details! Personally I haven't ever had a book graded, as I prefer mine raw, but I have a ton of keys that I have considered grading. Your guidance is very helpful!
Am new to l comics like really new like started 2 week ago and this guy help me so much he helped me not pay to much on a reprint even tho first print and 2 print look so damn simpler in truth he saved me money
I'm slowly getting back into collecting comics. Things have changed so much since I lost my old collection 15 years ago..and your videos are helping me so much thanks for all you do keep up the great work
I recently started collecting again. I'm incredibly interested in the whole process of grading. I'm learning a lot following you. I appreciate you breaking it all down. Thanks for sharing another great video! 👍👍
Thank you very much Sir for this video, it was very help. All your videos are helpful. Please keep up the amazing work you guys are doing. Have a blessed day God bless
Maaaaaan this one is an eye-opener in terms of savings when you do your own pressing. Thanks for this. I'm still not sure I have time time or patience to learn how to do it but I'm certainly going to think about it!
Fantastic video! Some excellent info on CGC a few things I didn't know. Thanks for taking the time to give us a great video and tips to save$$.. Have a great night,see ya next video
Fantastic video. These informative videos you’ve been releasing are gold. I really wish these were around in 2014 when I was trying to figure all this out by myself (and when grading prices were like $12 or $14)! Bravo my guy 👏
Bry comics I'm enjoying more and more collecting still learning been 25yrs since I've been into collecting comics really only read them back then , Now relive my youth . This video has been very informative thank you. Saving money to get least one graded one day. 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! Thanks for the info on rookie mistake comments! Happy collector!
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.

Great video! Also a good reference for even buying slabbed books on auction. Much appreciated. Cheers

Great video. Seeing the numbers on xcell is a great visual for different options
Just found your channel. Great information! I'll be back often!
Glad you’re here!
Another great video, Bry! The spreadsheet breakdown was really helpful, and confirms how important it is to learn how to press your own books.
CGC premium tier credit CAN be used for CGC shipping and processing fees
Thanks for the tips and info really need to start pressing my own books!
Thank you for the video Bry thinking about getting my Fantastic Four & X-Men books reslabbed with the custom labels next year.
Don’t forget to check the box to notate newsstand copies if it applies to you 👍
@@BrysComics thank you
Very good info especially for new collectors like myself. Just learn about pressing
👍💯
Maaaaaan this one is an eye-opener in terms of savings when you do your own pressing. Thanks for this. I'm still not sure I have time time or patience to learn how to do it but I'm certainly going to think about it!
You can do it!

a lot of info to think about, thanks Bry for breaking it down for us.
Wow just started back up on collecting comics and this was so helpful…. Keep it up!
Good info. Still hoping you get a press and cleaning operation up and running before long, Bry. I have a few I'd like you to fix up and submit.
Great video. Super helpful. I've only submitted once. Wish I had viewed this video before I jumped into the process.
Very helpful. Thanks for the tips.
Great video, I'm actually looking to sub some stuff too so very helpful
Great breakdown! I'm about to make my first submission to CGC so this was very helpful!
Great video I’ve never submitted myself always through a friend who presses as well but wanting to start sending myself
Great video Bry! I have a stack of books that I'm debating on submitting but that video helps in determining cost.
Fantastic video. These informative videos you’ve been releasing are gold. I really wish these were around in 2014 when I was trying to figure all this out by myself (and when grading prices were like $12 or $14)! Bravo my guy 👏
Would you recommend CGC signature series as a good idea to increase the value for books?
Long story short, no.
Bry comics I'm enjoying more and more collecting still learning been 25yrs since I've been into collecting comics really only read them back then ,
Now relive my youth .
This video has been very informative thank you. Saving money to get least one graded one day.
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!
Thanks for the info on rookie mistake comments!
Happy collector!
I appreciate the explanation. It all seems very complicated to me.
It is unless you do it often, then it’s second nature
Thanks for the info
Thank you so much for doing this I was all over their website trying to get even an inkling of prices and everything seemed so cryptic.
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.
Nice break down with the chart and all, thanks!
Amazing video! Thanks for breaking it down for the comic community.
