I'm likely to send Kingdom Come books for the in-house Mark Waid signing and debating if I should get them pressed. It's kinda been my practice to get books CCS pressed during a signing even if they were good to begin with to be sure in case they were mishandled. But these books' covers have a thicker card stock so not sure if it will benefit a press. Also, they are thicker bound books so I imagine pressing might damage and round up the spine. Can any of you expert pressers chime in? Thanks.

Just get a new unsigned Spawn 1 and have that signed. I don't know what makes your current book "beautiful" but it'd be better to own 2 with one of them a true yellow label.

Looks like those are color breaking spine ticks so no amount of pressing wherever you go can remedy those unfortunately.

Mr. Starlin signed it twice, with different sigs

Mine (with pressing) went to GEI last Friday.

My signing submission has already passed the pressing stage, which I assume the signing has already taken place. Does pressing happen before or after signing?

There's a sub forum called Ask CGC, ask them there and they can check for you (or email them). I can only speculate that it was skipped but I'm not a CGC representative.

Hi, I had 2 submissions (reholder and signing event) that coincidentally went together today for SFG. Can they be combined for return shipping to save on the cost? Order #s are CGC6124344227 and CGC5259432299. Thank you.

Milgrom books with pressing just went in today (9/9) for SFG.

Maybe you don't/can't. Just provide instructions and cross your fingers.

Good luck on that, I am on a similar mission. I instead had each of the 1st 7 Image books signed, Valentino's is the most elusive and the only yellow slab I'm missing as he rarely goes to cons or signings now. Portacio, Liefeld and Larsen are also getting tougher.

You think he will sign this?

Green (or blue). You said best, CGC did not witness it so it will never get a yellow.

Send a message to Rich Henn, he'll be there.

My opinion, everyone else will have theirs - Not a fan of Hollywood celebrity sigs on comic books. Fine on magazines but not comics. There are subjective exceptions and that comes based on my personal preference like Ferrigno or Campbell. - Agree on different colored pen ink on multi sigs, although you may get lucky sometimes depending on the cover art and sig placement. - Fading ink. I hate to be the 200th book signed from a single marker. - Smudged sigs - I have a Herb Trimpe sig that was likely stacked on over while it was wet - Artists that never had anything to do with the book. A subjective topic since you can make exceptions like Romita Sr or Stan Lee, so my opinion on it may change as artists eventually become "legends". - Ugly remarques, lots of examples with Bagley. Some of them are just improperly placed doodles. I would prefer a proper sketch on a blank cover or a simple sig. - Sigs on the inside pages, what's the point? Back cover may be acceptable but would rather have them in front.

Welcome to the boards. Navigate to the CGC submission page and select reholder on the comic submission form. As long as there is no physical damage to the book due to the crack or evidence of tampering it should retain the grade.

A good idea if only for your personal collection, won't resell and don't really care about the yellow label. And you can always reholder in the future. I've only come across one, signed by Quesada.

Reviving this thread. Anybody know if Mr. Valentino's going to make any appearance soon? Thanks.

Very nice indeed. I wonder if there ever was a body sketch done to complete a head sketch done by another artist.

Did you do pressing as well? I guess I'm still in the 8 week window from the signing date promised by CGC, but I should at least see movement out of CCS. Oh well.

Nah, still 'Received at CCS' as of today.

People have been getting their books shipped back but mine are still stuck at 'Received at CCS' since 8/3/21. No sketch just Jim Lee and Scott Williams sigs and pressing. Anybody else on the same slow boat?
