    I went the other way with my purchase, once they told me about the $30 CGC tax. Realistically, I had budgeted myself to purchase and submit 10 books or so. Instead, I wound up buying 2 books and didn't even bother to submit them to CGC. If JSC continues with this practice, I probably won't be purchasing as much stuff moving forward. Based on the brisk sales of this booth all weekend, I'm pretty sure he's not hurting for my business.

    Your best bet is just to be patient and wait for the masses to start auctioning them off on eBay. It’s certainly cheaper more often than not than presale prices, and at times it may even be cheaper than buying the book at the show and subbing it yourself. 

    Creator Signing Fees: unsubbed vs CGC subbed (rant)

    I'm really not sure what's more absurd, creators who charge you different rates if you are submitting to CGC, or the ones who charge more for signing lenticular's (Fabok), or key books (Liefeld)?  Like, it doesn't take you any additional effort to sign your name on this versus that.  Whether I sub to CGC or I don't isn't robbing you of your livelihood.  What books I choose to have signed and what I choose to do with them afterwards has no bearing on you whatsoever, so why charge a premium for it.

    I certainly think there's plenty of blame to go around.  You can blame the creator for being greedy.  You can blame the exclusive agents/facilitators for force feeding bits of information in order to make a few extra dollars for themselves.  You can blame CGC for encouraging these sort of tactics from the creators to begin with.  And lastly, you can blame the speculators who continue to push demand for these products.  So long as demand continues to run high, the voice of the fans will be drowned out because creators know that if fans are priced out and don't buy, there's always a line of speculators willing to pay the cost.

    I’d say they are equally absurd.

    I wouldn’t say these creators will always have a line of speculators/dealers/ flippers though. I’ve noticed over the last couple years quite a few people walking away from the creators who are upcharging like this, and rightfully so. 

    I’ve personally also cut ties and no longer support several creators who do so. Many of them I’ll never support again, no matter how appealing the book may be. 

    The solution really is to just boycott supporting them, and if an opportunity presents itself I recommend letting the creator know why, because the people whispering in their ears that are also profiting off of basically doing nothing are the voices that really need to be drowned out.

    Blame the Artist Reps/Facilitators that pushed a lot of artists to charge signing fees while pocketing 25 - 33 % of the fees themselves. Some artists are just keeping up with the times.

    No doubt about it when it comes to signature fees, however the additional CGC tax on top of the signature fees for books that are going to be graded is another story. 

    It’s completely absurd of JSC or anyone else for that matter to be requiring an additional $30 or what have you for signed books that are going to be graded. That’s not keeping up with the times, that’s just greedy AF. 

    More often than not as RMA has pointed out it’s a very unjustifiable charge when looking at completed sales. Not to mention none of anyones business what we plan to do with books and signatures that we already paid for.

    I wonder if DC will be offering a return for refund on this book now based on the reaction to the spoiler in the NY Times...........

    I’m not too sure how to interpret #3 of DC’s response to the spoiler in this article, but it may be in regards to possibly accepting returns. I would hope they would anyway for retailers sake.

    Yea, that might be the most. The art wasn't unique for each one though. Just changed the words.

    Yea, there were 68 at the beginning of December. Batman 50 may be the most.

    I wasn’t aware they just swapped logos for it. No wonder it had so many, especially if it was of no additional cost or wasn’t very much extra to get one for the shops.
