  1. Good news: My books arrived! Great news: I love the remarques, especially the Spider-Man! Bad news: CGC slabbed them with blue labels .....?!?!? Good news: CGC customer service was all over it. They will, of course, fix them at no charge. But now they have to be mailed, again. Bummer. I'm stunned that these could slip through the pre-shipping review process. But mess happens. I'm sure it'll all work out.
  2. If it helps, I'm in the same boat. CGC received my books in July. Current status shows received at CCS. Seems like there's been high demand and Art Adams is doing some extra-effort work (at least compared to some other artists) on sketches and remarques.
  3. I'm considering submitting Wolverine (limited series) No. 1 for the Frank Miller SigSeries event. I'm looking for input on this being a good idea vs. bad idea. Here's the backstory: Way back in 1992, a much younger version of me put said Wolverine #1 in front of Mr. Miller at the San Diego Comic Con. Frank opened it up and started to sign on page one, below the indicia. I don't know if it was his pen or his mood at the time (he was bashing on the Image guys to Chris Claremont, seated next to him), but the paper tears as he starts. He looks up at me. Chris Claremont looks at me, with a sympathetic face. Frank looks at Chris. Frank looks down, finishes the sig, and slides it back to me. He doesn't say a word. I wouldn't really understand what happened until a few minutes later, when I looked at the book. But I was a little kid. I was crushed, but I had no idea what to do about it. So I just lived with it. Fast forward to 2023 ... I figure why not submit that book to CGC and get Frank's sig on the cover? Will CGC give me a blue label because of the writing inside? Or a yellow label, with a note? The rest of the book is in pretty good shape, so I figure why not get it signed right and graded and slabbed ... and I'll always know the story about the inside. Even if it hurts the grade, that won't bother me. Anyway -- good idea? bad idea? Any input would be much appreciated.
