    This was one I decided a while back that I wanted to commission.  Here is the original book that I sent to Ash Gonzales. 

    We had several discussions about what I would like to have done to this book, placement, etc and I sent the book to him to work on. The full process took roughly a year. I recieved several messages with updates and pictures throughout the process.  Here are some of those. 
    It made it to CGC and actually went through the grading really quick. ( my only issue is that somewhere it picked up a couple "pressable defects "

    which I think is just CGC trying to force CCS increase, but with this being oil paint on a glossy cover I didn't want to chance it lifting any of the beautiful artwork off.)  
    Still I am extremely happy to have this one back with any major QC issues. Without further ado here is the final result. Note that this looks even better in hand and that I could not get the scanner glare to go away.

    George Perez

    By onlyweaknesskryptonite,


    George Perez Signing
    Like all of my off to see the Wizard entries this is showing my submissions to CGC. Raw pictures, updates as I receive them, and final pictures ( well hopefully as with some of the others there were times they had to make return trips. [Which were also posted])
    So when they announced they would be doing one last signing with George Perez, I knew I had to send some of my books. The problem was narrowing down which I would send. 
    Here are the ones I selected to send and they are all getting the George Perez Labels as well. 
    Batman #442 Double Cover !

    I am sending in Two  Millennium Edition Crisis on Infinite Earths #1 Chromium Cover  ( really fought myself between these or the original, but figured many other would go with the other and I can find one of those later) 

    A Final Crisis Legion of 3 Worlds Retailer Edition. 
    A Superman  Wedding Album Collector's Edition DC Universe Logo that was still sealed and I opened it to window bag it. 

    Superman Wedding Album Standard Cover DC Universe Logo Edition  that I had signed by John Byrne. 

    and Superman The Wedding Album Gold RRP Edition! ( really hope they keep this one in the bag backwards as is and he signs the back in gold to match. )
    And finally another Superman Wedding Album Gold RRP Edition.  This one was previously graded a CGC 9.6 . I also have the same request as the other. (Sign back in gold) 

    They were all packaged up and marked for the signings ( as you can see I also sent some Terry Austin books in as well . That will be another entry later.)

    TEC 880 NS
    Ok so I debated this one until it is probably too late, but sent it off today anyway.  Will see if I wasted shipping or if CGC will still take it. 
    I have a copy of Detective Comics #880 Newsstand that I got pretty cheap that was previously graded CGC 7.0 main defect is on the back and kinda looks like it breaks color as the press more than likely will not help. Still taking a chance to see. 
    Without further delay.. 
    window bag and  color.. 
    package.

    Amazing Spider-man #238

    By onlyweaknesskryptonite,


    Amazing Spider-man #238
    So this is one that I bought from a fellow boardie.  @Azkaban It currently sits in a CGC 8.5 case and presents better. The graders notes say: 
    Light spine stress lines to cover, Very light creasing to cover.
    I am sending it to Joey over at CFP to have him work some magic on it before it making the trip to CGC. Here are high resolution scans of it currently.  
    and the package ( although not showing label) 
    like the other entries.  I will update this when the book gets back from its journey.

    Bill Sienkiewicz Signing
    So with CGC backlog and the in house signings being announced almost daily, I decided I would send a couple more . This one I was torn on which books to send as there were several I had been considering.  Ultimately I decided on these two and opted for the remark.  Will see how this goes. 
    1st is New Mutants  #26( was CGC 9.6)  .
    I requested a Legion head sketch. 
    next is Transformers #1 (1st print) .
    I requested an Optimus Prime head sketch.  
    all prepped.  

    and marked. ( Hopefully they do not miss it and it gets pulled for the signing. )

    My Comic Shop Consignment

    By onlyweaknesskryptonite,


    MCS Consignment 34CGC
    Packaged up all of the books from my recent VCC booth and sales thread . I will be sending them off to My Comic Shop Consignment. Figured I would give them a try considering what other board members have posted about their results.  
    I am sending in 34 graded books. This is the largest single shipment of graded books that I have ever sent. Due to my CIS policy I shipped Fed Ex.
    Here is the invoice. 
    Total of 34 CGC graded books all in one box. Measuring 21"×17"×18" total weight was 49.54 LBS. FedEx $85 should be there Wednesday.

    Sara Frazetta Signing

    By onlyweaknesskryptonite,


    Sara Frazetta Signing
    Today I just got in my raw books that I am sending in for the Sara Frazetta signing.  I ordered 3 from KRS and of them only 2 really made the cut. One had two color breaking spine ticks. I chose the Mars Attacks Red Sonja #5 as I really liked the cover and similarly to Frank's work. Here are the raw pictures.  

    Also tried to make sure they could not miss this package in their mountain of  submissions.

    Man of Steel Raffle Store/ Customer Editions

    By onlyweaknesskryptonite,


    Man of Steel Raffle Store/Customer Editions
    Here are four books I just got back from CGC that originally were all graded the same. Man of Steel Trade Paperback #nn Raffle Edition. They had to go back to CGC due to Mechanical Error . Here is my submission form explaining the difference and it was accompanied by copies of the letters and the following images . 
       These originally were given away by Raffle to customers who filled out survey cards found  in Superman #1, The Adventures of Superman # 424 , and Action Comics #584  and sent them in . The winners that were selected as well as  their local shop each received a copy. They drew 1000 from each of the 3 contests.  So 3000 of each were produced.  ( 3,000 store and 3000 customer) 
    Each of these not only has a letter to accompany them, but these were the 6 part mini series bound under one cover. The Store and Winner Editions each had a different cover to #1 . The winners of the Raffle recieved one with a Newsstand Cover version and The Stores received a Collector's Edition Cover #1. 
    Here are the Graded and now noted differences on the label as well as the letters.
