Clean & Press — Professional Comic Book Pressing
How booking works: Books are pressed in batches, with a new batch starting every 3 days. Pick a batch start date above and set the quantity to the number of books you're sending. Each batch has limited spots — when a date sells out, choose the next one. New dates are released regularly.
Mail-in: Allow time for postage — your book must arrive before your batch's start date; if it arrives late, it moves to the next batch with space. Local drop-off: contact us to arrange a time and batch.
Give your books their best shot at a higher grade. Our Clean & Press service carefully removes bends, dents, spine ticks, finger bends and non-colour-breaking creases, and lifts surface dirt and residue — improving eye appeal and presentation before grading or sale.
$35 AUD per book. Payment secures your spot in the batch. Each book is inspected, documented and returned with a record of the work performed. Books needing extra work may take longer than a standard batch — we'll let you know if so. Track your book anytime on our job-status page.
Ideal before a CGC submission — as a CGC Authorised Dealer, we can clean, press and submit your books in one pipeline. Ask about combining C&P with grading.

Pressing improves presentation and can improve grade, but grade outcomes are never guaranteed. Books with colour-breaking creases, tears, restoration or brittleness may not be suitable — contact us if unsure. Paid slots are non-transferable; see our refund policy for cancellations.
