I sent my copy as soon as I got it, and its been in CGC head quarters since the 27th. I live in Miami so USPS Priority shipping got it to HQ quick, my book number is 840. This copy Knock on Wood is my best submission looking forward to seeing the grade by XMAS. I also did the Todd Father Event at CGC I believe last year and I sent in a few books three of my books got 9.8 a issue100, 200 and 301. A 30 DAY COA with a unique cover with numbers on it will be difficult to replicate within 30 days and forge a signature. Maybe add a tamper seal on the plastic cover that voids the COA but other then that I am ok with this process.
