Still Only 35c

My books FINALLY shipped today

Spoke with customer service again and told that magazine submissions delayed yet again due to lack of parts (cases).

Long Box Love Affair got one of his submissions back.

Absolutely; just waiting for them to FINALLY come out of grading process.

That Creature is awesome. My fingers are crossed for my remarques especially the Godzilla, Gumby and Pokey ones.

In other news, my 10 book remarques submission (NB. regular comic books, not blank sketch copies) are finally back with CGC and in for grading.

And this X-Men #115 hasn't been shared yet.

(Reposting) this lovely specimen with added Stan Lee and Chris Claremont goodness as well as those missing Tomb Of Dracula 67, 68 and 69 (thinking of submitting 67 and 69) that @MAR1979 added to the spreadsheet.

If anyone is interested, I pulled this together this little spreadsheet showing all of the Still Only 35c covers that are out there.

Just in case it gets missed, changed my profile name to @Still Only 35c

Love it. I asked for a Godzilla Remarque on this book.

Do you have a link or screenshot?

There are several books like that, that seemed destined for Still Only 35c, but reverted to 40c pricing (or 12p UK price) within the usual Still Only 35c starburst. These include: Battlestar Galactica 3 Black Panther 15 Captain Marvel 62 Daredevil 158 Marvel Super-Heroes 80 Master Of Kung Fu 76 Thor 283

Yes please; let's see how bad I can do again...

*UPDATE* This was actually a signing facilitated at a Con by this team and looks like they got their books back quick smart as all the books were done and submitted at that Con. We perhaps should have gone with this approach rather than through CGC. *UPDATE* Not sure if this is the same CGC signing, but someone else got their book back in November. Apparently the whole thing was "seamless." https://www.instagram.com/p/C1fe5Ogvq9o/?igsh=dmtobW0zamx4YThu

Even more shenigans, just how deep does this rabbit hole go? ...the question is... ...where is CGC?

I still prefer the stickers in this instance. Having handled those transfers in person they are extremely fragile and will easily lift off/crinkle/crack. When I submitted to CGC I asked them to remove for pressing and reinsert when completed.

So how would CGC treat Prog 1 of 2000AD submitted with the Space Spinner attached? Would they remove the free gift or send it back?

Thanks. Got both of those two at 8.0 on the census!

I'm hot on your tail with these two recent submissions back from Sarasota. And yes, both have the free gifts (Hulk and Spider-Man transfers respectively).

Still no response from CGC?

Great remarque, but that grade drop is exactly what we are all afraid of with the way CGC are handling/treating this "private" signing. All these books should be at CGC and the work done there rather than shipping to Art, risking this sort of issue with downgrades on our prized books from all the unnecessary handling.

Not sure if there is a thread on this already (if so, please feel free to update here and direct me), but just in case, thought I'd start one. If anyone else has any mystery sigs, please feel free to add here as well. Wanted to kick off with this unknown signature I have in my copy of Avengers Annual #7. Anyone got any ideas on what this signature might be? Doesn't seem to match any of the creators in the book, but wondered if it might be an earlier variant of the Jim Starlin sig.

This signing is cursed.

Agreed 100%, I'm not happy that they are basically shipping out my books to Art rather than hosting him at their offices and extremely concerned on the grades that these are going to get because of the handling, etc. CGC continue to drop the ball on this one...
