  1. No matter what the book is or how high or low the grade 1 point for every signature (perhaps more points as a percentage of the book?) I think it would be great to offer a new submission to the folks that find passions in getting signatures..COMMENTS ACCEPTED... To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here.

    THE GUILD

    I just found out about The Guild as the one cool lady (?) is appearing at ECCC in March. I could not stop watching the episodes....and Wil Wheaton shows.....It is very quirky and mindful and wished to share it with other mindfuls To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here.

  3. This band seems to me as a great comic book and as a test in time to make heroes out of earth. Humble and earnest. To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here. New comments can be added below.
  4. I must pledge allegiancehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNtKQbruVHo As I am 46 years young, I find humor in watching why carpenter ants buggle my back porch. I find amusement in why my dog tears up her bed and I say "Bad Girl" and she gives me those "who ME? eyes...I cannot allow myself to be upset at things which excite my neural net (DATA?) Anyhow...getting back to Harvey...you done good with me and I feel You Get It To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here. New comments can be added below.

  6. Like this issue? Though a restored it has a SS by Stan Lee...continuing this nice discussion on the forums. I believe it is 700 points....kind of bummed the seller did not specify it was a purple label...I pay more attention now To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here.

  7. only 2 in census These are them I Love the Copper Age firsts (any firsts in general). To respond to TNERBS SSing books...I would NEVER resubmit a 9.9 for SS UNLESS I had the rare opportunity of owning two. I have heard stories of a 9.9 resubmitted turning to a 10.... A 9.9 is a bit sacred.....that Shivabali guy tried to overbid me but he seems like a likeable human....I hope he does not read this Collecting is FUN To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here.

  8. First issue Star Comics...bought by Marvel As I was sifting through my collection I noticed a bunch of Star comics (some I bought 5 copies). That must mean something to mean I generally have bought multiple copies since early 1980's. Keeping this in account I have been quite happy in finding these Bundles of Joy and sent Gemma a request to start a Star Comic 1st Issue. There are at least 36 books I have found. A set of books not highly printed... Star comics lasted from 1984 to 1987 FUN To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here. New comments can be added below.
  9. Keep the book in the plastic and board Through my experiences SS and having witnessed...I wish to pass on information. This is the best way to receive the grade as the book was BEFORE 1) Who is attending the comicon? 2) Find your books 3)sharpie where you fell the signature might want to be 4)With clean hands, pull the book out of the board and plastic 4)Place another backing in the plastic (in front of the original board) 5)Use an X-Acto blade and cut the rectangular sharpie image where the Signature is to be......Perhaps many people might even want it on the back of a book as to not interfere with the cover....still an SS. 6)take the "cut" board out 7) So tenderly place the book back in...and 8) Get the witness to come to the booth (without 2 more hands on the book)......perfect..... I have found that the signaturees smile as I might be anal To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here. New comments can be added below.

  12. Made me feel odd buying a Playboy So I looked at the census for the revised Walking Dead and saw a Playboy issue. I bought 4 of them (I am not the type to buy such books) and the first one came to me in (obviously a non CGCer) envelope..an evelope with no cardboard protection "got protection?"..it was bent up and I have no problem with it EXCEPT that I SHOULD HAVE said I Wanted to CGC it Not "play" with it......I had to share this for comics are NEARLY always sent "protected"....ooooops......just a spill Some want it And Some Want it To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here.

  13. CLASSICS ARE BEST....I just love Abbot and Costello (Who's On First?) and other "don't flip the switch" classics that Allow the viewer to "SOAK" in the sensibilities of the "Journey". Here is one I wanted to Share to all "the classic" collectors To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here. New comments can be added below.

  22. PASS THE BUCK Wouldn't it be nice to find Earnest collectors to pass on lower graded books? Rather than selling is not collecting a practice towards stewardship? I then say that My truth lies in a Simple Passing towards LIFE INSIDE AMBITION
  23. Get IT SS So, after participating at the ECCC for 7 years now I am getting closer to understanding how ""signature (yellow not green) labels work. What I did this year was to get signatures from various artist and writers, either put the books behind them or under the table (they watch) go to the CGC booth and have someone "witness" and go back to the booth to send away. The only downfall is that the 10% discount is not available. I, after numerous Qualified..green labels", finally got it. PS.... to SREW...yes it was very crowded....going back tomorrow (without my daughter).... Cheers to the collectors AND A BIG HIGH FIVE TO YOU RESPECTABLE CGC WORKERS. YOU MADE MY HEART SING To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here. New comments can be added below.

    CGC FLOATER

    Hire a CGC rep. for 1 hour at a COMICON for SS. I have been attending Emerald City Comicon for 8 years now and I get very excited (even if my book is low grade) to meet an involved "artist" on a specific book. GREEN LABEL? come on...I shook this persons hand and told them how they affected me....etc. I Say This To CGC.....Hire floaters. I will pay $75.00/hour for a floater to follow me (and perhaps another friend) to random booths to verify that I received an authentic signature and not an unappealing green label...does this say TRUST? Even better this gives the CREATORS a chance to MAKE THIS HOBBY TIGHT AND TRUE and bring confidence to Their Signature APPROVED. Every booth DESERVES it and IT WOULD HELP THE COMIC INDUSTRY. PS....give a tip to the FLOATER.
