3 slots. I will send Dre a previously graded book and will also take two of his copies of the Noto cover of Rogue One #2.

This arrived in the mail today. Thanks Rich!

Bet there's a crush of submissions over the next month to beat the price increase!

Unless a CGC facilitator is attending the show (and unless there's someone attending who rarely does any shows, my guess is one will not be), Stan's will be the only signature you can get for Signature Series. He generally has things set up to get Signature Series for anything he signs at a show, as long as you follow the proper procedure, but that would not extend to other guests at the show.

Seems to be. It's the same serial number, although a different pic.

UPS would be $15. $30 is for USPS.

Apparently the contributions are not taxable because they are a gift. Here's a link to an update: https://www.gofundme.com/peter-david-needs-your-help?viewupdates=1&rcid=1b5fc0ebb7fd41ed967d9c96cd0fcc86&utm_source=internal&utm_medium=email&utm_content=cta_button&utm_campaign=upd_n

And a thick backing board that won't bend!

In looking at the description of the two Jim Lee "Experiences", the only difference I can see is that one included three unwitnessed signatures (although I'm guessing you could pay to get the signatures witnessed), and the CGC/Voldemort "Experience" included three witnessed signatures. Seems like you should be able to get $120 (assuming that was on top of their regular facilitator/grading fee) refunded for the first three books submitted for SS if you purchased the CGC Experience and can show some kind of proof of that to ComicSketchArt.

Rich Henn and Celestial Comics are both attending. You could PM either or both.

I've had my fair share of books signed by Peter David, so it's the very least I could do to help him out. I'm sure it wasn't easy for him to ask.

Sure wish there were a way to get June Lockhart as well!

There is a private signing, but I want to get the items signed myself so my daughter can get some face time in front of Hamill.

Wishful thinking on my part. I've got a stack of things to be signed by Hamill and was hoping to save myself the hassle of having to coordinate with CGC!

Are you the designated CAW for Mark Hamill?

Only way to be sure he doesn't sign over the logo is to do a window bag cut out for just the white area. I have had him sign in a space about the same size, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Anyone know how to contact Force Majeure (Jun)? He seems to have vanished from the grid. He hasn't read any of the PMs I've sent him and hasn't responded to any of my e-mails. Hoping somebody can help me get in touch with him.

Auction ending tonight!

This same type thing happened a few years ago with Celebrity Authentics. I may have the con or celebrity wrong, but seems like CA required holograms be affixed to anything signed by Brandon Routh at Dragon Con, including comics signed for SS. Needless to say the grade on any comics that were signed and graded took a hit. Ultimately CGC was able to work things out with CA so that now the hologram itself goes on the SS label along with the identification number. Hopefully something similar can be worked out for Star Wars Celebration, or at the very least the holograms are not required if you do not want them.

Nope. And they just got shipped today. Final progress of this submission is as follows: Regular Modern (9 books) Received 2/24/17 Verified 2/27/17 Graded 3/7/17 Shipped/Safe 3/8/17 By my count, that's 8 business days from received to shipped, and if you don't count last Friday because it was the first day of a major con, then it was only 7. No matter how you look at it, even faster than the stated turnaround for fast track. There were a few books I had my fingers crossed on, and they all ended up 9.8, but then there were a few others I thought were locks that ended up 9.4 or 9.6. I'll have to look at them more closely when I get them back. And I had three 9.8's with grader notes!

Graded 3/7/17
