Poor timing on the JSA acquisition. I didn't bother with signing up for an autograph session since I had no way of authenticating and getting a CGS Signature Series grade to my comic. JSA is at this comic con and can authenticate as well as Captured Collectibles for the "other" comic grading service. With CGC now working with JSA, there will be a method to get a signed comic graded with a JSA authentication. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to wait for CGS to host a Hayden signing event or him to show up again at this con.

Hayden Christensen is going to be there and am wanting to get a commissioned sketch comic signed by him and then CGC graded/slabbed but, this doesn't sound like it's going to be possible with no CGC representation.

Hi folks, Wanted to post my experience here. I've been lurking in the thread for a few months to gauge how things might go with my submissions(6 books total). I submitted 6 books for the Lucio Parrillo signature event. I purchased all my books from ebay as sets (regular version plus virgin version) which can be dicey as to what quality books you get but, I tried to stick with sets that showed the actual books being sold and had HQ pics. Everything I received looked pristine to me and the books were handled with extreme care with gloves on for examining and packaging purposes only(never read). I purchased CGC's window bags and used those. I know others used their own method derived from another thread in the forum but, I just stuck with CGC's. Reading all the horror stories of folks sending in what they thought were 9.8 comics or 9.8 reslabs and getting downgraded to 9.6 or lower had me nervous. To my great surprise, all of my books scored 9.8s. I was prepared for half to score 9.8s so, I am ecstatic with what I got. I'm hoping that the comments I read of bad experiences are just outside the norm and the vast majority work out like my first experience, and the books get graded appropriately without handling damage from CGC's staff. At a minimum, perhaps my experience can give people hope that you can actually submit books and have a great experience. It is possible!!! Total file size limited the slabs I'm posting to 5
