    Signature series time estimate

    What’s up guys! This is my first piston here and my first question is does anyone know how long a comic takes to be graded?  On the 11th I got my comic signed and witnessed and they took it and marked it as received on the 14th.  Nothing has changed since and I’m just too excited!  Does anyone know how long something like that might take?

    Welcome to the CGC boards!  There is a terrific resource available from fellow collectors in the following thread:  

    Be sure to click to the last page(s) since that data is the most current. We've all had our battles with patience when it comes to our comics, but this thread will tell you whether your expectations are reasonable for stated versus actual turnaround times. There are lots of factors that play into it, especially if you chose to have your book pressed which usually adds considerable time.

    The batch from 09/25/2019 has now been updated with a new Received date of 11/20/2019. Must have just got them back from CCS. It's almost too much good news in two days' time.

    Three (3) Signature Series Received on 11/20/2019 moved to Grading/Quality Control 11/22/2019. Missed the SFG in between.

    Okay, this was the fastest moving I've ever had. Updated 11/19/2019 to Scheduled for Grading, then Grading/Quality Control same day. Got on just now and listed as Finalized/Imaged/Shipped. (Fast Track Modern SS, no press). Many thanks to @Rich_Henn for his facilitation of this group of comics from Rhode Island Comic Con.

    Still no movement on that other batch of 3 from 09/25/2019 (Fast Track Modern SS, press)

    With the current series ending tomorrow with issue #75, do we know yet whether or or not JTC will be doing action figure covers for Star Wars vol 5 beginning in January?

    JTC's doing the first issue of Star Wars: Rise of Kylo Ren and Star Wars: Empire Ascendant, both due out in mid December. Not sure what his plans are for Vol. 5, but as long as we keep buying them, I imagine he'll keep making them. There are so many more on my wish list that he hasn't done yet.

    2019 "I WANT THIS TO BE ADDED TO A SET" REQUEST

    Well, I wish you the best of luck in your new position. Hopefully the team they've hired is being trained by you prior to your departure. I've seen too many times where all the accumulated knowledge, shortcuts and other secrets don't get passed along and the new ones are left to flounder until they figure things out.

    I'm going to be a bit selfish now and ask for a couple additions to the Star Wars Action Figure Variant Covers set:

    Star Wars #64 Wonderworld Comics Edition - Cert. # 2504360001 (the regular action figure variant for #64 is already in the set; this is a second cover with same issue number)

    Star Wars: Age of Republic - Count Dooku #1 - Cert. 2495460064

    Star Wars: TIE Fighter #1 - Cert. # 1429636004

    Thank you!   Set updated.

    Thank you very much! Could I bother you to fix the scores? Some of them are 0 or 9 for a 9.8 Signature Series. That seems off.          Done. Thanks!   :)

    Received 09/25/2019 (super fast thanks to @Par2ch hand delivering them :banana:)

    CCS just charged my credit card on 10/17/2019 for the press. Still no updates otherwise.

    All of your complaints are completely valid. You all have been so patient with the long turn times and I am so sorry for your waits. I've been a one woman show for a while and during the summer months (when I'm always on the road for Comic Cons) the waits are terrible. However, there is light at the end of the tunnel! I have decided to take a position with another company and I am passing the torch to a team of folks who will never be on the road. Up until my departure, I will be filling as many requests as I can. Hopefully, with the new change, your long waits will soon be over.

    It has been my great pleasure working with you all, Ladies and Gents. Best wishes to you and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for 9.9s and 10s in your future.

    All the best-

    Us too!

    I'll definitely stop by. I had the weirdest convention (for me) there last year. I only did about 2 hours' worth of comic shopping the entire weekend, so please forgive me. I spent most of my time getting commissions, talking (and talking and talking) to creators and having them sign my books, a couple panels. There were long lines for many of them because they took their time and really talked to their fans. Those interactions are priceless to me. 

    The only celebs I saw close up were two voice actors from Red Dead Redemption, and that's only because my nephew's buddy wanted their signatures but didn't want to brave the long lines, so they hit up "good ol' uncle" with the Fast Pass.

    Last year's con is also the first time I've ever been even the slightest bit embarrassed. I was talking with Jim Starlin for a few minutes as he signed some of my stuff, and when I was done, his female assistant motioned for me to lean in and she whispered, "Your fly is down." Oooops! The embarrassment was probably worse for Jim, being at eye level and all.

    If you had $500 to spend on comics.

    If you want to impress the GF, I think she would rather..

    Go out to a nice restaurant @$150

    Buy her a piece of Jewelry @ $300

    Go to a cheap motel @ $50

    and call it a night.. :headbang:

    I can only imagine a $50 cheap motel will have the words "Movies! Mirrors!" on the sign and have rooms you can rent by the hour.
