Classics Incorporated has just announced the launch of their new interactive website. The system allows clients to create their own work orders when submitting books, with email updates sent throughout the process. New services are being introduced as well, including the exPress, which offers a two week turn time on pressings.

"This has been part of an evolution we've been going through the past six months," said Matt Nelson, president of Classics Inc. "As the business progresses, we're getting a feel for our clients expectations, and figuring how we can meet and exceed those expectations." Nelson said to expect more changes in the coming months. "We're constantly working to evolve our techniques. There are some new developments in the works that we believe will considerably improve the services we offer."

For their pressing service Classics Inc. is rolling back the Modern tier cutoff from 1980 to 1975. "There's so many great books in that five year period, and we felt that it was a great area to expand by saving our clients $10 per book. " said Nelson. In addition, Classics Inc. has also rolled back their Bronze Age tier by five years, from 1970 to 1965.

Another change of note is the Proscreen service, which is now optional for the client. A fee of $3 will be applied to all books Proscreened, unless the option is waived. "Waiving the Proscreen is for our more experienced clients who are now comfortable with their own screening ability. Not only does it save them money, but it cuts down on the turn time," said Nelson. The Proscreen service provides a restoration check and estimated grade after pressing. "For submitters of Modern tier books this is the best deal. By waving the Proscreen, their cost is only $12 per book, the lowest we've ever offered for a pressing," said Nelson. Classics Inc. is also offering free Proscreens for all comic book valued over $4,000.

Matt Nelson and Richard Evans will be set up at the Baltimore Comic-Con the weekend of September 27-28, 2008 doing on-site proscreens. He and Richard Evans of Bedrock City will also be conducting their restoration seminar at the show.
