    I have a CGC 9.8 SS Venom #5 variant that was signed by Skan and wanted to get it signed by Cates and Stegman. I don't see any info on the regular site for costs and fees. Anyone have an estimate?

    Cates had been charging $10 - $20 per signature, may be the same for Stegman.

    newbie here, I am interested in putting a request in for one of these. Just had a question about how you receive payment and when payment is due. Thanks

    Rich usually requests the payments up front to determine how many items he has to grab. Usually through Paypal, but you would have to ask him about any other options.

  3. Please add or correct for clarification.

    From experience it tends to go this way:

    Received - meaning it has arrived at CGC and placed in a line in order to be...

    Verified - where the issue is verified it matches what is listed on the order form and placed in line to be

    Scheduled for Grading - it is now near the front of the line and soon to be grabbed. If it is a single issue, it'll be quick. If part of a bundle then expect the status to change to 

    Grading - it's when its being checked over, looked at, etc

    Graded - tends to be the next step where it is again in line to be encapsulated and for Quality Control to go over it, just before being

    Shipped/Safe - when CGC boxes them up and sends them off. They use to have an option to place them in a safe for local pick-up, alas no longer it seems. 

  4. As above!

    You look to be safe. The older cases had 'stickers' on top labeling the comic itself. They can come unglued. The rest of the case looks fine too. If you tamper with the case by opening it, the case tends to spider on the opposite end. Give the comic a once over through the case, search for any obvious flaws beyond the 9.6 grade. If you really want, you can send it in to CGC to get reholdered to the newer case.

    Welcome to the boards!
