I've read this a few times but I am failing to fill in a few of the gaps to understand....it's like that episode of the office when Kevin removes words to talk faster. 

I was perplexed at first too, but I'm pretty sure it means "Signed through the mail."

Still at Grading......

I hope you get it soon.

For reference I got both my orders already; an In-House signing order from April, and a single standard tier signature book sent in 9/2022 through a facilitator. So it should be soon. 🤞

This went into Grading/Encapsulation/Imaging back on 10/18/22.

However, with the news of new magazine holders, it's looking like at least until February to see some movement on this book or any other in house signing magazines.

I just got this back on 4/28, it was at CGC for a bit over a year. What a wild ride.

I'm glad magazine tiers are getting cheaper, especially with the mess that's been the move to the new magazine holders. Not thrilled with the significant increase in Signature Series prices over the years, but I've changed my grading submissions to reflect the changes over the past year anyway.

Early Facebook comments show that flippers are mad, and for that I don't care.

As long as you properly labeled the box you sent in for the signing, it should be pulled and set aside for the designated in house signing.

That being said, CGC has recently changed their magazine holders to be more like the current CGC comic size cases, so I wouldn't be surprised if you don't have a year+ long backlog of other magazines ahead of you when your magazines hit grading. For example, I submitted some magazines to an in-house signing last May, and they're still in "Grading / Encapsulation / Imaging". Your milage may vary, and by the time the signing happens, the backlog could be severely reduced. 

Looking at the CGC Census, it appears that there aren't any graded copies of issue 83 and that's probably why you aren't finding it in the drop down. You'll most likely need to manually add the information.

If you've measured it, and it's a standard comic size, then you should be good to go with submitting it as a comic.  According to their website:

Quote

CGC grades most comic books that fit within the following dimensions: 10-1/2" tall x 7-5/8" wide x 1/4" thick (except comics with hard covers or jeweled covers).

I wish they'd update their site to allow CGC signature series submissions on their already announced signings. 

Looks like there's only one signing up available for Signature Series so far.

Looks like we're back in business kids.

It seems most facilitators are attending MegaCon the same weekend as C2E2.

I'm also interested in sending in books for C2E2 as well, if anyone knows of a facilitator attending.

Ok, so here is a really cool, rarer one... Big Trouble in Little China/Escape from New York signed by Kurt Russell, Sandy King and John Carpenter. This is the only SS book on the CGC Census.

This is awesome!

I was rewatching the original Stargate movie last night, thinking it would be cool to get one of those original movie poster comics signed by Kurt Russell.

Peter Parker: The spectacular Spider-Man #300 sketch by Fernando Yoshimiya and Rodrigo Yoshiyima.

These two are fantastic artists based in Japan. Unfortunately I lost the bid for the Black Cat cover blank, but this works too. 

Amazing piece!

I asked Fernando if he would be willing to do this again with Rodrigo, and he wasn't sure. Hopefully InkInk gets them to work together again, because they all turned out great.

I asked because a very trustworthy CGC facilitator works closely with Galaxycon at both their shows and mail-in signings.

And I don't believe they would work with a company who would be in the business of selling fake autographs. (Plus Galaxycon have posted videos of celebrities they have at their shows signing for mail away orders.)

I've used Galaxycon for both CGC signature series books and signed photos with no problems, personally.

Agents of Slabs is accepting send-ins for a Miller signing in February. They've got information on the signing on their Instagram, but not their website.

https://www.instagram.com/agentsofslabs/

If you don't have a form on you, I'd suggest trying to take a few extras when you're at the show for the future.

You can also try to contact CGC and see if they'll send you some, but I've never had any luck getting CGC to send me signature series forms.

Or Galaxy Con (they sold dubious Mario Lopez & ST cast and like with POTP its no refund) 

Can you shed some light on either of these instances? I can't find any information about this online.

Steinfeld magazine submission

• Received (at CGC from CCS): 5/18/2022
• Scheduled for grading: 5/18/2022

I have a feeling like this isn't using their expedited system, and instead their regular magazine pipeline... which means I'll get it back sometime next year?

Well, at least I know I can expect some of my magazines back (hopefully) soon.

If I knew this at the beginning of December I would have submitted more books for signature series at a convention.

Finished a couple more, now they're on their way to cgc. Samurai ones don't have an owner if anyone's interested

 

 

This is awesome -- I love the background!

Tried said there not doing it  

You may have tried too early, they just announced they have a signing with Charlie Cox. I'd reach out again.

Hopefully they add more people from the con, the guest list looks great!

Hopefully someone will be doing send ins - there are a few books I'd love signed and submitted after just looking at the guest list.

What about all the ones on eBay that have a blank cover atop the sketch cover? There are a dozen or so up on the site now from different vendors.

Example:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/393798124094

I even have a few.

Those couldn't be all done by the fellow boardie as they are all rather recent. Could they have been manufactured that way?

Again, thanks much.

These were manufactured this way, but you can't sketch on that paper from what I can tell. (It has a wax-y finish.)

It's removed before grading.

Collette Turner (Ballpoint Pen sketch)

The work she does with just a ballpoint pen is so good. Congrats on this one!
