Just Pressing

As a cost effective guideline, books should be worth at least $500 in their present condition.

Pre-screen charges:  minimum of $5 and any book valued above $1000 will be 1% of FMV which will be rolled into pressing charges.  There is also a $10/book per submission to CGC.  Multiple copies of books to CGC:  $10 plus $5/each additional.

Photography documentation - $25/book

Quick 7-10 day turnaround for high priced items - additional $100 or wait 4-6 weeks.

Cleaning involves simple, very light dry erasure in white areas of book, front and back covers within CGC/CBCS guidelines for Universal Label. Pressing involves local and intact pressing on covers and interior pages. 

Golden, Silver and some Bronze Age Books.
