ADAMANTIUM

I think spidey 1 2099 was there ghost rider glow in the dark, and other things I used to use to draw and practice shading. There wasn't anything I was proud of enough to write my name on Depends on the age of collecting though I guess, but if death of Superman meant anything it was to not crack a book unless you have doubles.

Tbh I didn't know what would happen to my collection upon moving out in early 2000zs but I didn't really have much. When getting back in to collecting I eventually went to check, only confirmed that they weren't much. Anything of note was Campbell gen 13, deadpool circle chase 1, and a Wolverine run including the issue that was being pumped as x23 in a test tube. Idk other than my death of Superman unopened idk that anyone would have wanted it while I was gone

Tbh This is what I thought

I had a random signature series update today From GEI TO qc/finalized to QC and now it is back to GEI. Seems like if they found something wrong with it, they should have contacted me, I don't want to assume that they wouldn't @CGC Mike but I just thought that I should mention. We'll see what it grades out as, idk

It's gotten better. Haven't signed out in a while, which means a couple of hours with other tabs, ahem including the submission page. And then tried to submit this post and it all went away, thank God the refresh kept it and didn't have to sign back in see if it posts now upon refresh...

While it HAS HAPPENED while I'm writing a reply or refreshing the same page and especially under submission tracking, it really kicks in when I switch between tabs Like it doesn't want me logged in to multitask

To be fair, doesn't it say 1st app of Autobots and Decepticons on the label?

I'm just excited to see something "new" tried out, I joined just before the transfer of the old lay out of the boards to the new in 2016, so I know that can be a big transition or "change." I'm willing to stick around to give it a shot

I got too much going on and decided to skip it. I might have gone to the mission impossible had I got one. Too much going on sometimes

what happened?

Yes it is a common theme across cgc products at the moment, it even signed me out while I typed this comment @

It would be one thing if it was 1st sig at a comic con? But first signature series ever? I wouldn't ever think to ask, and would doubt myself at that. I have slabs where it is on the label the convention it was "signed at" but then and then only if cgc still did that, then I'd ask for the artist to make the notation. What I feel is that an artist got swept up to have finally "made it" then they had the thought to do it on their own, which would be a fun surprise!

And the circle flame sheesh I always forget. Disregard. I just don't go to the store enough 😂

Oh ya the the for treasure hunter. I keep almost remembering, it just takes a while

I forget. Isn't there something about the packaging that points these out to you? I've since noticed them at nearby stores, if you could remind me so I can look?

I was curious about this and wasn't sure if my custom sets were competitive So I deleted them to see if it changed anything, it did not, but now it's deleted. I just wanted to make sure all my books were considered in the original sets, I can do without custom sets if needed. Idk if it would have been considered for awards, it was a distorted hologram custom set, but in the main sets those books look better as filler towards those being "complete!" No worries, but it's nice to dream! Then go oh no! Post about it and then dream again! Lol

I asked Campbell for a TMNT turtle holding a pizza once, I got the pizza 😂 Ended up getting Eastman to do the turtle part, I just didn't send in "blank."

That's bold! It's favored I hear! So it wasn't an option, and just happen to work out! Man I wonder if that would work with Campbell

Wait... I don't remember this being an option? Was there sketches at Artgerm too? Did you just send a blank?

I just mention as sometimes we send months in advance only for the signings to then happen, usually wraps up fairly quickly after that, but I have yet to have a grade bump due to ccs, I'm just thankful most of the time that the grade stayed the same 😂

The three months wasn't how long it took to press for the signing, which the signing only happened early June. But after the signing if pressing was chosen it takes up to 8 weeks to get it back. , which starts after the signing. 6 weeks if only grading.

Oh my bad, I thought it was first ever from personal collection. That's the way I read the title 😂
