Benefits of Comic Book Pressing:

  • Significantly boosts grading potential

  • Maximizes market value

Comic book pressing is an essential technique for collectors and dealers aiming to improve the condition and value of their comics. Pressing effectively removes non-color-breaking imperfections, enhancing the comic’s appearance without altering its original condition, thus ensuring it’s eligible for professional grading by CGC or CBCS.
