Got a surprise in the mail and got all 3 of my comics back.  All 9.8 and all beautiful.  CGC didn't even send me a shipping notification.  It just arrived at the door.  Sure enough, when I checked my account, the Art Adam's books had shipped.  This is my favorite of the 3.  I'd like to think that he enjoyed drawing this.

 

Here are the other 2 I got.  I love them both!  But Godzilla is still my favorite.

I just saw my NYCC submissions hit my account.  Just took a lot longer than I thought. 

To those that dropped off books to CGC at NYCC, have your submissions hit your account yet?

I submitted some books and cards.  The cards have been added to my account and even finished grading/shipped!  The comics I dropped off however, haven't been added to my submission tracking.

According to Bleeding Cool, Black Flag are indeed selling the new acetate books in Boston, but only to fellow vendors!  One can only conclude that there's been no cease and desist from Marvel!

Yep, supposedly under the table and only to specific vendors/influencers. Can’t get more “bootleg” than that.

Hello

NG means not genuine.  It has nothing to do with us grading foreign cards or not.

Mike

Just checked again, and it was IT.

So if I send these cards in again, will they be graded?  

Are you sure the foreign cards can be graded that show up on the form?

I sent some foreign cards by accident because I didn't read CGC was only doing English Yugioh (my bad) and they came back as NG.  But when I checked the submission form to see if they what cards they were grading, I noticed the exact same Japanese cards I sent were showing up on the form.  I figured it was cause I sent the cards in and it was a system thing.

I've seen a couple "no barcode" CGC blue label books but aren't these "no barcode" variants just the sketch cover removed?

Every modern Marvel book that has a sketch cover doesn't have a barcode on the interior cover.

Both the Amazing Fantasy 15 and Incredible Hulk 181 facsimiles both have "no barcode" variants  because they have blank variant editions.

I even checked a recent facsimile (ASM 238) and without the blank cover, there's no barcode.

Are these "no barcode" variants really hitting the market or are people just removing the blank cover? I know comics in Walmart packs have no barcodes, but they also have unique backs as Marvel does that intentionally.

If they are hitting the market by accident, how does CGC tell the difference? 

Shouldn't the no barcode be qualified books as it's the same as removing tattoos?  It's literally removing the cover.

Thank you!

For a show drop off (Wondercon for example) where CGC is in attendance, do you need a paid membership?

The submission form isn't available unless you have a paid membership.

For the following option for the upcoming Last Ronin signing, does this mean I get remarques from everyone?

The CGC In-House Private Signing fee for a Kevin Eastman, Tom Waltz, Ben Bishop, Luis Antonio Delgado, Isaac Escorza and Esau Escorza Duo Remarque is $240 

• Kevin Eastman, Ben Bishop, Luis Antonio Delgado, Isaac Escorza AND Esau Escorza Remarque. The submitter may request the desired Remarque. Important: The final design and subject matter of the Remarque is at the artists’ discretion. CGC cannot guarantee Remarque requests. 

The wording is just kind of ambiguous.
