Does CGC consider pressing to be restoration?
CGC does not consider pressing to be restoration. In fact CGC exclusively RECOMMENDS Classics Incorporated for pressing on their website. In CGCs eyes, there is a fine line between what constitutes restoration and what does not. Because our services cover any and all ethical improvements to a comic book, we innately understand where this line lies. We make sure your comic does not receive a restored grade from CGC when we press. CGC also does not consider dry cleaning to be restoration, which we automatically include in our pressing service. Dry cleanings main purpose is to remove dirt or pencil from a cover, particularly in the white areas. Dry cleaning does not remove tanning, stains, pen or marker, sun shadows or foxing. If we feel your books grade would benefit from a dry cleaning, we will automatically perform this during the press process.
