    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!
