Thanks for the response! The artist in question is Gene Espy. I'll have to ask him which conventions he plans to attend to see if dropping it off could be a possibility. The commission is some time away from being completed so I'm fairly sure I left myself enough time to get all the CGC stuff sorted out. I'll also contact Mike About it in the coming days. We actually met at SDCC this year. It could've gone better, I suppose. Not that either of us was rude or unreasonable or anything but it was my first time working with CGC at a show as big as San Diego so there was something of a learning curve for me to pull myself over but that quickly passed and things went smoothly for the most part. Thank you again for your help! I welcome any advice you can provide and I'm sure I'll wind up with more questions in the near future!

Hi guys! Clearly I'm new here but I've gotten a few SS witnessed books at some conventions I've attended so I'm pretty comfortable with that but I'm doing a mail-away commission on a sketch cover for the first time and I was wondering if/how it would be possible to get this book graded under a SS label. I've read through the thread and the following exchange kind of touched on my question but also spawned some of its own. This commission will be handled entirely via email correspondence so I think the second paragraph of kaholo's response is more applicable. Kaholo says that I could go through a facilitator that represents the artist. The artist mentioned that there isn't anyone specific that he works with, only that other patrons have provided him the paperwork (which he is willing to fill out) and that he can mail it directly to CGC when he's finished. So I guess my question is how do I find a facilitator that I can work with to submit the book? My second question arises from Kaholo's statement that the facilitator must arrange a board op with cgc then gather at least 10 submissions to be able to send in the book. This just left me a bit confused. Does this mean that in. Order to be able to submit this book through a facilitator that they have to get authorization from cgc (no question yet) and that the book will have to be submitted with at least 9 other books signed/sketched by the same artist? Or does that mean that the facilitator just has to submit at least 10 books which can include signings/sketches from different artists (including the commission from the artist I'm working with)? Or am I interpreting this incorrectly altogether? Or is there another applicable process for submitting mail-away commissions for a SS label? Thank you all for your help so far (in this thread) and for your patience!
