About Pressing Issues

A Collector Helping Collectors

My name is Charles, and I started Pressing Issues out of the same love for comics that brought you here. I’ve been a lifelong collector, and like many others, I wanted my comics to look their best and hold their value. 

Why I Do This

I know what it feels like to send off your prized comics and wait anxiously for them to come back. That’s why I take communication and trust so seriously. From the moment I receive your books, you’ll know what to expect: an honest estimate, updates along the way, and great results.

How I Work

Every comic begins with a complimentary value analysis. This way, you can see the potential benefit of pressing and cleaning before deciding to move forward. Once approved, I carefully handle each comic using proven, professional techniques designed to remove non-color-breaking imperfections, correct spine rolls, and gently clean surfaces—always to preserve your book’s original condition for grading with CGC or CBCS.

What Makes Pressing Issues Different

  • Collector’s Mindset – I know firsthand how much your comics mean to you.

  • Clear Communication – You’ll receive updates, photos, and full transparency throughout the process.

  • Fast Turnaround Times – Most small orders are completed in about 3 weeks.

  • Complimentary Value Analysis – Every comic gets a free assessment before work begins

From My Clients

“I sent in a small batch to test the waters… Within a few days, I had an intelligently presented estimate with reasonable pricing. Along the way, I received updates with pictures of the improvements. In one word: amazed.”

Jimmy Bee, Collector


The service from pressing issues was fantastic! From the pressing and cleaning services to the CGC submission, Charles was detail oriented, provided tons of feedback on the books condition and the turnaround time was very fast. I highly recommend and will be working with him more in the future! Thank you!
