Any leads?

Hoping to find some help getting a couple books signed by Christopher Lloyd.

Wonder if I'd be able to get sigs from Mike Giannelli or David Howard Thornton...

I have a couple Back to the Future books that I would love to have signed by these two.

I submitted my first book Standard tier, the turnaround time was 15 days when it was recieved (3/1). Now the turnaround time has gone down to 10 days but my book is still in G/E/I since (3/6). Is this normal?

I have a book in since 10/2022 and its still stuck in grading.

Pictures (before slabbing) would definitely help

This was my first mistake.  I wonder though, would CGC make good on the problem if a scan was provided showing the book in better shape than they graded?  Realistically who can prove fault then?

Sorry for the late reply BTW, life happened.  LOL

Check for any color loss due to rubs on front and back. CGC has become very harsh on those especially on Copper and Modern.

How are color rubs identified on grader notes?  I had several books that have notes indicating "wear on left cover" but when I sent the books in they were in awesome shape. 

Gives me a really bad feeling knowing CGC themselves may be damaging books.

Hello @EmoJackson,

I am sorry for the confusion. Your submission WILL NOT be able to be tracked using your submission number until it has been scanned back into CGC AFTER the CCS process. Once it has been transferred you will be able to track it once again. Rest assured your submissions will stay in line from when they were received and will continue through the process until they are completed. If you ever want an update on when they might be completed feel free to find our current Estimated Turnaround CCS Turnaround Times using the link below. Also, you can give us a call at any time for an update as they continue through the process. Let us know if you have any other questions.

Soo, that doesn't make me feel any better.  I would think it would bother others submitting books as well. 

Sucks feeling like your belongings are in "limbo" and being told to trust a system that can make mistakes.  

What happens if a submission is lost?

Todd McFarlane will NOT sign any of these books during the CGC In-House Private Signing: Venom #1 Color Variant Cover, Venomverse #1 B&W Variant, Venomverse #1 Color, Venom #6 Color Variant Edition, Spawn Retailer Thank You Variant. TODD WILL NOT SIGN ANY PARODY COVERS. He will only sign books and characters he has worked on.

Cool... but I asked if anyone knew why.  LOL

I have a 9.0 that has fewer color breaking ticks.  I wouldn't risk it.

Anyone know why McFarlane won't sign the Spawn "THX" book?

Thanks for the reply @CMatthews I'm sure you can see there are a couple flaws with the current tracking methodology.  These books fell off the tracker since they were older than eight months, ideally a customer should be able to track their order throughout the entire process (including through CCS).  When using invoice number 3977817 I'm provided with a blanket of "Your submission is in the “Received” status. Line item detail is not yet available." which doesn't provide much clarity without having to ask for support.  I have another batch of books going in shortly, but I fear that they will get lost in the process... how can customers be assured they wont?  What happens if they do?

@CMatthews I was charged for CCS pressing but still cannot see where the order is in "My Submissions".

Order # is CGC0458543019

Since TAT's are taking so long I think it would be beneficial to extend the time to something longer than 8 months.  

I have several books in with CGC for grading.  I checked today to see if they made it out of CCS and now the submissions are gone.  Has anyone else had this issue?

It was 20 packages of 50 mylars amd 20 packages of boards.  I'm going to contact them today and see if they optioned for alternative shipping methods.  Last time they only provided UPS next day.  

Early into 2020 I contacted E. Gerber to place an order for 1000ea of their 775M4 and 750FB.  E. Gerber had to look up shipping costs, and when they finally received pricing it came out to $400 to ship.  

Does anyone know a more affordable way to purchase their products?

Lovely looking Caliber Presents #1.  

This is going to be my first and very likely last year sending books into CGC for grading.  SS on some of my favorites may go in, however TAT, Newton Rings, and Slab Scuffs kill me.

Yes, there has been issues with downgrades. The risk exists.

That's my fear, I'll skip this signing.

, I have a tough choice to make. I like the 9.8 and it’s a scary risk for it to come back any lower. 

 

This is a giant issue that I'm contemplating right now.   I have a Wolverine Mini Series (SS Claremont)  that are in 9.8 - 9.6 that I would like to send out for Frank Milller's signature but I really don't want to lose the grade.

Has there been many issues with downgrades after repeat signature events?  

Actors:
Michael J. Fox
Christopher Lloyd
William Zabka 

Artists/Writer:
Frank Miller
Barry Windsor-Smith
Robert Kirkman / Charlie Adlard / Tony Moore as a 3 way.  (tee hee)

Clean book, if you ever decide to sell, I'd buy.

Men in Black 1 CGC 9.6

Men in Black 2 CGC 9.6

Men in Black 3 CGC 9.8

Lot of 3 for $550

 

Pm for these.

Thanks Jennifer!! I appreciate it!

I submitted a batch of books for the Jim Lee / Scott Williams signing event.  My spouse also wrote "Sign by Jim Lee" on the box vs just the regular initials.  I noted that the package was delivered 7/22 making the 7/30 cutoff, however the books have not been entered into the cgc system yet.  Has the signing been delayed?

When I submitted my question via the submission form I received an automated reply back from Dean Martin, stating they are just now getting to books received 6/14.  Which doesn't really answer my question.   Did writing "Sign By Jim Lee"  really cause the books to be mis-directed?  If so, how do I proceed.
