    When is this signing supposed happen? my status still shows my submission is "received" at CCS. 

    My Cates books shipped yesterday (maybe I missed the interim steps, but they seemed to go straight from "Scheduled for Grading" to "Shipped").  Judging from the label, Cates signed on 2/21/22 (it would have been much cooler if they had done the signing a day later).

    A note I should have included originally, the window bag wasn't respected in any way. My Window bag allowed for the bottom left 2/3rds of the book to be signed/remarqued. In this case the artists decision was clearly better than mine... just a word of "warning" to anyone submitting. (And this has happened with 90% of my signings) The REQUIRED window bags are a complete joke.

    While window bags are required, there is not a particular window bag that is required to be used.  You can make your own with a window exactly where you want the book to be signed, with the rest of the book covered.  Just be sure to leave enough room for a decent-sized sig.  It's helpful to see examples of the sig in judging the size of window to leave.

    CGC's status explanations below.  My take is that "Received" is simply an acknowledgment that a submission with a particular submission number is in CGC's possession.  At this point, the individual books in the submission have not been "verified," and on the submission tracking page the submission number is black and you cannot get any more details.  In my experience, pretty much the only submissions that ever are at "Received" (as opposed to "Received at CCS") are Signature Series that were submitted by a facilitator using a paper form and are not going to be pressed.  Once the individual books have been "verified," the status moves to "Scheduled for Grading," and the submission number is red and you can click on the submission numbers for an itemization of the submission.  At this point, the submission is in the "queue" to be graded, but for the in house signings, it really doesn't tell you whether the signing has occurred.  It certainly does not mean that grading is imminent.  While perhaps CGC could add a "Waiting to be Signed" status or something to that effect, my guess is that they decided not to do so because that would just slow down the process by adding another step that would divert resources that are already stretched beyond thin.

     

    Received / In Process

    The submitted collectibles have been counted and entered in CGC’s computer system along with the submitter information, submission date and requested service. If there are multiple tiers of service, the collectibles have been separated by tier of service.

    In the next step, a detailed description of each collectible will be entered in CGC’s computer system (a process commonly called “verification”). The collectibles will be separated from any paperwork that would identify the submitter and the submission will be prepared for grading.

    For comic book submissions only: If CCS services were requested, the submission will be routed to CCS and the CCS services will be completed first.

    Scheduled for Grading

    Each collectible has now been described in detail in CGC’s computer system and checked against the submitter’s descriptions. A unique identification number has been assigned to each collectible based on the submission form number and line item number. These identification numbers are printed on temporary holders and will be used to track each collectible throughout CGC’s grading process.

    Gunslinger Spawn #1 1:250 Variant SS CGC 9.6 signed and numbered (#59) by Todd McFarlane $750

    Uber low number.  I've looked at this several times, and can't figure out why it's a 9.6.  Maybe a good candidate for CPR if you have more patience than I do with the current TATs.

    following up my own post, apparently Sienkiewicz has done his signing as a post just went up on CGC's FB site about an hour ago showing a video of him doing a remarque  

    Now we know the signing has happened, but not when.  It really would be helpful if CGC would post when the signings have been completed.  Then again, it would be easier to hold them to the promised TATs if the signing dates could readily be determined.
