Marvel Legacy #1 Art Adams variant with Adams sketch of Psylocke and Old Man Logan.  SOLD,

May not be your Longshot #1 book, but the GREATEST MOJO Remarque sketch.  Hollleeee !  

Anyone know if Arthur has finished the final 100 comic remarques?

I have three blanks no movement either so must be in that last 100.  I did get them in to CGC just a few days before deadline so it’s probably among the last 20 or 30 books submitted.

I think that dealer selling the Adams blank variiants on Ebay who sent in 45, 60 or even more for the signing, probably did so because the 1st Adams signing in 2021, i think they limited  remarques to the first 100?  books in for that option.  And the people who sent in blanks in 2021 got a much nicer 5 minute sketch than a remarqured comic cover.  

Perhaps he tried to grab as many spots early as possible which is also why the majority of the sketch cover remarques have been his.

Still, i hope Arthur finishes these remarques for all of us soon, just a few months from a one year anniversary sending in books.

I think for blank covers next time, Arthur will use his convention sketch pricing for blanks.  $250 for 15 min sketch and $500 for a 30 min sketch (close to what the blanks he has done thus far look).  I believe reg cover remarques will stay the same or go up 10 or 20.

I hope Arthur doesnt give up this same quality.  Look, that dealer got his 40 or 50+ blanks already… rest of the ones left he has to do are mainly for us fans.

Every single one of those remarques is just a killer!  Absolutely.

Getting these 3 double remarqued from the left i will add nightcrawler, cyclops and short hair Rogue

lets see the other two sketches! Godzilla is increible!

Arthur said he was about halfway done a week ago replying to asomeone on Facebook.

I sent this back for another remarque up top. Arthur did Venom from his first signing. 

Cant wait to see this one with 2nd remarque.  I had wanted to submit this same book for three remarques of wolverine, hulk and ghostrider (new ff), but cgc said no to doing more than one remarque per book.

No remarqued regular books so far.  I assume they will have a signing for those with Arthur soon or possible even recently completed, but doubtful anything before 2024.

I wish Arthur would just update us once a month since people started submiting books in June and here we are almost in December.  “ hey, i just finished 20 remarques, only 500 more to go!”

I get the impression that Art has been sent the blank covers to work on since he can take his time with them and they can be easily replaced if lost or damaged.

I have not heard of any cracked CGC books or remarques on raw books that are being shown. 

I think you might be right about the blank covers.  Sketch covers are more about the remarque, not as much the grade.

I dont think this is negative, just an observation for Arthur if he reads this or someone can make this suggestion to him.  I am grateful he is doing amazing remrques although at this rate i dont see him finishing this year,   And speculating that we might be getting all our orders cancelled in six months when he is burnt out on trying to do this high quality for everyone…. Nothing would frustrate me off more in the world.

But… how about save all the sketch blank covers for last and do all all the hundred or several hundred of remarque orders that are on covers he drew, that he could do Thirty or perhaps even Fifty in a single day?  Rather than i dunno, 6 or 8 sketch cover blanks and going by orders in batches?

photo example of  cover remarque below.  These are a whole lot faster to do than the sketch cover blanks i’ve seen of 4 peoples finished orders.    I can also understand people frustration at such a long wait and seemingly a handful of sketches are done of hundreds and hundreds.  
 

One dealer on ebay got 5 beautiful blank covers already and is selling magneto rn.

Thats a really good update Cgc gave, directly from the Signature series person, i appreciate that.

I really do not mind him taking the books home to sketch if that were the case, i am just worried he wont complete all the remarques at the rate he is going and he may not do remarques again for Cgc signings.

Anybody got remarques back yet? Please post them here for us! Thank you

Thank you for the update

CgcMike, are all the remaques finished or some? Thanks.

Some of the cgc remarques that a few collectors received over the last few days…. 

That Wolverine has a Miller-esque style to ot.  I would love to see Steve do more like that.  I wish i could afford a commission like that from him, just astounding!  Congrats!

Arthur just cancelled his Paris, France convention appearance this weekend.  Thats 4 or 5 days worth of work tiime right there, hopefully he might get to those sketches instead or catch up on other deadlines to make time for the cgc sketches this month or next.  Just speculating.

Considering Mr Adams just delivered over ten, $2500 commissions for this past weekends NYCC, i’d say there isnt ny update yet as he’s probably spent the last few weeks doing those commissions.  I am hopeful still we might get these by the end of the year since there are only a few conventions left he is attending this year.
