Will Todd sign books if they are sent to a facilitator.

Yes he will. There's not really an advantage of using a facilitator though, unless they offer something like pressing that's faster than CCS. You're going to pay $10-$15 for them to ship a book to CGC that you will (more than like) have to ship to them in the first place.

Anyone please correct me if I am wrong  but if he is at a convention then he will not do anything for CGC.

This is 100% true.

Anna Zhuo, (man, CGC you've got to get better on your labeling!!!)

I'm glad I'm not the only person who has reoccurring problems with this. I read somewhere that the line for signatures is done by hand.

The automation engineer in me thinks it could easily be automated with the rest of the label, or at least given a check box style list for creators they could filter through...

DAWN MCTIEGUE Awesomeness!  Savage Rogue!

Love Dawn's work! 

I'm assuming this was from her back log, and not a show commission?

1. Can I submit a magazine with a signature.

2. If not what are the next steps.

3. Is it worth doing ?

There are certain stipulations on the size of magazines you can have graded - I think they're listed on the main CGC site. 

As for if it's worth doing, that's up to you based on your collecting goals, if you're wanting to sell them in the future, etc.

Personally I like magazines signed by celebrities because there is a larger variety of photo covers.

Guest list is looking solid so far for 2020, and it's only the 2nd day of announcements/

I moved further away from Chicago, so it won't be an easy day trip for me. I guess that just means I'll have to go Friday and Saturday this year. 

I lost to Parrillo cover, and had a feeling it would make it all the way.

Congratz! 

Picked up this page from Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti this Sunday in Cincinnati. Next time I probably won't get away so cheap.

It was nice to talk to Jimmy as a fellow collector too, as he was interested in what I had in my binder (even though I only had my two most recent commissions), and showed me what he had picked up at the show over the weekend.

Supergirl Issue 12, Page 9.

You would get the "Signature Series Qualified Label (Yellow/Green)." More information can be found on the CGC Labels page.

As for if it's worth it only you can answer that - if I was in your shoes the questions you should ask yourself are:

• Why do you want this particular copy signed?
• Can you find an unsigned copy in the grade you want that will prevent a yellow/green label?
• Are copies that have a green or yellow/green label selling on eBay? Are you going to sell the book, or keep it for your personal collection?

I've only had one lobby card signed, and that was at Alamo City. It was a Strange Brew shot featuring both Rick Moranis (signed at the show) and Dave Thomas (haven't caught up to him yet).

Moranis LOVED seeing a lobby card. He even had to explain to his assistant what a lobby card even was. He was very cool, very giving of his time (to the point where I felt self-conscious about the people lined up behind me). Unfortunately for me, I didn't get Signature Series CGC on it because the dealer had never dealt with them before and didn't have correct submission forms. No blame. I'm still happy. I have it in a UV protected frame at this time.

I love that the new submission forms have a box to check for lobby cards and photographs. (At least, they're new to me as of this year) A small addition, but definitely make situations like this easier to avoid.

Question for the celeb SS fans: have you ever considered getting lobby cards signed? 

I was looking at getting a few for the John Travolta signing when he was announced for Fan Expo. (The only other slab-able thing I could find was older Entertainment Weekly and "Playgirl" magazines, and they didn't interest me.)

I didn't go through only because I was in the middle of a move - would have been a pain to get everything bought/prepped/shipped off in time.

thank you  I appreciate the help

Shows for next year haven't been scheduled yet. Indiana was the last one for this year.

Since there's a lack of facilitators -- if anyone is queueing for Melissa Joan Hart autographs and wants to make a few bucks, send me a message.

Yeah, I know he doesn't do a whole lot. Thats why i'm trying to find out with enough prep time to catch him.

Got ya. I'll ask at Indiana Comic Con and see what his schedule looks like.

Looking for Joe Giella. I know he is going to Indiana comic con but I cant be there. However with enough foresight I can plan just about any con.

I talked with the guy who goes to cons with Joe earlier this month about a commission, and he said that Indiana is the last one he's doing this year. If I remember correctly he said Joe only did ~8 con days in 2019.

Wow....so jealous!! I thought about doig the same thing....I have done it with other mags, but didnt want to put the time and $ into it. 

  

Congrats!!

Thanks!
I've been preemptively buying magazines off the rack for the past 6 months because of this situation. It's definitely easier than going off ebay listing photos.

I'm a big fan of Silicon Valley (as I'm in the software game) and Freaks and Geek, so it was cool to meet Martin Starr at C2E2 this year.

I also probably bought 10 copies of this to find one in at ~9.2 condition, definitely happy about the grade.

Are you guys talking about the 4 sig cgc 9.8 given away in the grading contest in 2018?

I meant that they were both Paper Girls #1. I'm assuming the 4x signature copy that was given away was done at the same signing at Midtown. As far as I know Brian and Cliff haven't done more than a handful of signings the last few years.

2 minutes ago, Twisted_Road said:

Not sure if this is the same book, but Midtown sold a 4x signed book (Brian K Vaughan Cliff Chiang Jared Fletcher And Matt Wilson) for $2.99 in 10/15? 

Yeah, this was the same book.

I've been pretty far removed from collecting for the last year. Is this comic heating up?

A bit, yeah. Amazon announced they were working on a series adaptation.

If any facilitators are watching this thread - I'd be interested in a few sigs as well.

No problem, figured I'd help point you in the right direction rather than having the info all over. 

Welcome to the board!
