Can a graded signed book still be pressed/cleaned?

[Lundon44]

For anyone that has had their fair share of getting books pressed I was wondering if anyone can shed some light on this one. I've decided to crack some of my more valuable silver age CGC books and get them pressed/cleaned and re-submitted back to CGC. I've seen and heard some success stories of results ending up with grade bumps so figure there's no harm in testing my own luck. Heck, even a .5 increase on a book or 2 makes it worthwhile for me.

But what I'm most curious about is if CGC will press yellow label books specifically or will they avoid it? Do they consider just pressing/cleaning carefully around a signature (I have only have one signature on the cover and it's not that big)? If the pressing procedure safe enough to preserve a marker signature? Or do they avoid pressing/cleaning any yellow label books completely?

Any idea?

Oh absolutely I would only do it if it's worth it. The book is nothing too crazy, it's ASM #129 CGC 8.0 (with Stan Lee sig) but I remember hating the ripples in the cover when I submitted it and knew it would decrease the grade a bit. But I also wasn't sure if even CGC's in house grading would consider pressing a signed book or not.

Also, just did the math on cracking, pressing and re-submitting about 10 of my key books and sadly it looks like I've over $1200 US (I'm in Canada) just for the re-slabbing not including the pressing.
