You ever press a book and have it end up looking a lot better than you were expecting it to turn out...?

I will have to say, "no". You? Yes indeed...just did a couple of Bat books from the early 80s, and when they were through the process, I was a bit surprised at how nicely they turned out. The whole thing really is quite amazing. To see what's possible...it's pretty cool. It's like any restoration project...you want to get the best results possible, while protecting what's original.

I am NO fan of pressing, seems to be the way to go when looking to get that high number to sell off! And if the pressing is not permanent then what is the point? I do not want to buy a 9.4 encased just to find out later it has reverted back to an 8.5 or less??

I already feel like a victim, purchased a few bronze age comics listed in VERY HIGH GRADE condition within the past year but within a few months noticed they are not as flat or NM (advertised) as they used to be. Still nice condition mind you, but NOT the same comics I initially received. So I am thinking this story of comics pressed do indeed revert back a bit to a lesser condition.

I'm sorry, budgetary restrictions limit such devices to one per department.

Just stick them under a stack of encyclopaedias

Yes, "joeypost" here assumes the worst, as per his usual, because he doesn't understand the difference between bragging (aka "chest thumping") and appreciation of what's possible...and almost certainly because he's projecting. The books didn't come out better because of my wonderful and magical skills...any competent presser can do precisely what I do...but because old paper is often so wonderfully responsive, and it amazes me what is possible, utterly and completely irrespective of who is doing the work. The intellectually lazy just say "oh, look, so and so's bragging about how good he is!" and then they smear them elsewhere...totally and completely missing the intent and point, because: feelings. This is what happens when you haven't grown up enough to think with your reason, rather than your emotions.

(This is "shrewbeer".) I think they're walking up to the line, if not crossing it, of restoration with their "stain removal techniques", but you have to give them credit for taking the risk of publishing.
