Signature Event Submission
itcamefromthecopperage replied to itcamefromthecopperage's topic in Ask CGC
Thanks Jennifer! -
Hi - I have a PGX graded book I'd like to submit for the Milgrom signing. Do I have to crack it out of the slab and prep it first or can I send it as it?

Private Signing Submission
itcamefromthecopperage replied to itcamefromthecopperage's topic in Ask CGC
Ok thanks. This would be for torpedo con in LA for the Jim lee signing. They have cgc listed as a vendor, but they might not count as a “con”. Jim Lee will be there, but I want Scott’s sig on a few too. So I want to submit those books to cgc there, and bring a few different ones for Jim to sign at the con. That’s the masterplan anyway. -
HI, Can I submit my comics for a private signing at a local con? Thanks!

Hi Jennifer, Thanks for the reply, I appreciate your insight. One quick follow-up if its alright: When you say "certain kinds of cleaning", could that ever include just a standard dry cleaning (no chemicals or solvents)? Like, if it were badly done or done excessively, to the point the grader could easily detect it. Could that be considered restoration, if not conservation?

I purchased a couple slabs from comiquero and they arrived quickly and without incident. I would recommend this seller. Thanks again comiquero!

The Alan Moore Appreciation Thread
itcamefromthecopperage replied to Jasonmorris1000000's topic in Copper Age Comic Books
CGC doesnt grade progs at the moment. They do grade reprints in standard comic format (the old Eagle comics reissues for example) but not the original progs. That could change though. About a year ago CGC opened an office in the UK, so hopefully that translates to them looking for local market opportunities and grading 2000AD would be good one, even though I could also see why it would be complicated comic to grade and slab. I think if they can find a way to make money doing it, they will. But that's just my speculation at the moment. Anyway, if that does happen, we'll both be happy we got our collections when these were affordable and easy to find! -
The Alan Moore Appreciation Thread

This thread has been up since May and no Halo? The travesty. Well, here she is in all her mid-80's glory, as only the great Ian Gibson could draw her. Better late than never. -

I don't think its a bubble in the comic book market in general, its more like a foam or froth. Some titles and types of comics are definitely overvalued and oversaturated. Anything related to a movie or TV show currently out or coming out soon definitely seems pricey, and the recent variant craze seems exhausted. Individual issues can heat up and cool down seemingly overnight. Collectible comic books in general are expensive, but so are all types of assets: houses, stocks, fine art, and all manner of appreciable assets are expensive. But this is driven more by macro-economic trends than anything specific to do with comic books. Interest rates are low, consumptive spending is down, the economy is doing well and people and companies are flush with cash to invest into things. I wouldn't say we are seeing a market-wide speculative bubble like we saw in the 90's. My advise: go slow, don't overextend yourself. Look for value in-between the bubbles of the foam.
