That has been going on since they explosion of exclusives.
Oh no doubt, but last two years I didn't have these issues. I was able to grab everything I wanted over the course of the con (minus the usuals like funky, etc).

Ugh, just confirmed with my friend, that was the case today. He said tickets were gone soon after they opened the doors. So basically he either tries again tomorrow or I end up paying whatever premium exhibitor's are charging since they seem to have 10+ copies already.
So I just got back from SDCC. A couple things. Last year I bought and graded his exclusives. I bought them this year but said hell no to grading because I didn't want to pay an extra 200 for cgc fees, and then grading fees on top of that. Also, they no longer require a witness since they put the books in a tamper free bag for cgc if you opt for that. The second thing regarding the marvel booth...something really fishy was going on. I went preview night, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday and each time tix were gone. I gave up for today. And it wasn't sold out as of last night when I walked by. But here's the thing, on Friday I was in the first block of people allowed to go down the escalator when the con started. I was in a group of no more than 100-200 people and they all didn't go to marvel. I arrived at the booth in less than 5 minutes of the floor opening and was told all the tix for the day were gone. The issue is these are not being taken by the general public, but by the exhibitors at the con. I saw a few stores and will not name them, that had stacks and stacks of these marvel exclusives. They've since been sold for a nice premium. I was highly dissapointed this year with regards to all things exclusives.

Rich, any way you can do the rogue cover or the jsc captain marvel exclusive (both found at the marvel booth)?

The genesis of the discussion began here, way back on page 181. In short, all books at SDCC were pre-signed, but there is a $30 "CGC signing fee" if you choose to submit the book for grading. So if two customers buy the same book pre-signed, customer A will get it for $50 if they just want a raw copy, whereas customer B will have to pay $80 simply because they wish to have it slabbed by a 3rd party. The argument is that the product is the same and that JSC shouldn't care or have a say as to what the customer wishes to do with the product after the sale.
Additionally, there is the potential scenario where a book is sold unsigned/signed via his online store. Typically, the signed book will cost $20 more than the unsigned book. Let's say someone buys an unsigned book online for $20. Let's also say they take it to the next con to get signed. They pay the $30 CGC fee and end up paying $50 for a signed book to have it slabbed. Let's also say that JSC has signed copies of the same book at his booth, but it's $40 (as all pre-signed books have a premium over their unsigned counterparts). If someone were to buy the pre-signed book at the convention and wished to have it slabbed, then they would end up paying the $30 CGC signing fee on top of it ending up with a $70 book. Both books are the same, but the poor sap who bought the pre-signed book at the convention ends up paying an extra $20.
All in all, I had the option to pass on the books, but in the moment decided to press forward for two reasons. One, I like the covers and I wanted the virgin copies. Two, I had a facilitator helping me who was likely very busy and I didn't feel like wasting their time while I mulled it over, especially since I expected the books to sell pretty quickly. The whole experience just didn't sit well with me and since then I've decided my money is better spent elsewhere. I have ordered two sets since (unsigned copies of the X-Men set and the Captain Marvel set), but I really don't care about JSC exclusives as much as I did pre-SDCC. And I definitely won't be getting any signed books from him in the future.
My experience as well. Only reason I went ahead is I wanted the covers, and had cancelled my unsigned trade dress set due to ASM 800 variant fatigue. I prefer to get JSC items unsigned and have bought through his store since, but will unlikely buy pre-signed unless it’s something I absolutely want.

ASM800's from SDCC came back, a little Christmas present to me, from me.
I think time has dulled the sting of the "CGC Tax", and the grades don't hurt either (four 9.6's and five 9.8's). I'm not as bothered by the 9.6's as some other collectors might be simply because I was expecting 9.4's because the issue was so thick that the cover stock was so poor on a lot of the regular copies found on store shelves. Still, these are likely the last (and only) JSC books I'll buy signed and subbed to CGC. That said, I do love his MJ and Gwen. Say what you will about how his female faces all look the same, these two particular covers capture the differences between the two main loves in Peter's life so well. MJ the fashionable and playful one. Gwen always the more book warmish one.
Same....mine arrived on the 24th. 7x 9.8 (including the two Batman 50 versions) and 5x 9.6. They all went to CCS for a press. Never again will I buy s/s at his booth for grading.

Eh never mind, my modern submission was verified today. The s/s who knows, although considering they are going to CCS so it will be a while.

Has anyone who submitted at SDCC been verified yet? First time submitting there as opposed to just mailing them in.

Just go with CBCS. They verify sigs without needing to witness them
In that case I may get the books back by SDCC 2019.

I honestly expect the prices to come down a bit to closer to 30-35 in a few months time. I’ll pick one up eventually.
