Purchased GI Joe 21. Fast shipping, good packaging, and great communication. Thank you!

Looking forward to buying/selling some books, thanks!

Is that offer open to anyone?

Got this signed at SDCC (thanks Rich!). I know it's not high grade/dollar, but was one of my original purchases as a young kid, and I loved Sergio (still do) and Mad Magazine back then. Newton rings are present on both sides, but you can only see them when when case is tilted.

Welcome, that's a nice book to find!

I don't have an account on their forums, but I decided to read a bit of them yesterday. I saw one where they mentioned you by name yesterday (assuming you are RMA?) and they thought you were trolling them or something...I didn't quite follow it, but the moderator also agreed. So, congrats I guess (and sorry if I'm misreading it)

Thanks for the advice, I'll definitely look into that next time. I did use USPS and thought it took a bit to get back...

This has been a well-written and interesting read, and I appreciate the time this must have taken to put together. Spent some time reading Mile High Chuck's old blog posts when I got back into collecting about 6 months ago, and these remind me a bit of those entries. I realize there are all sorts of opinions there, but they were certainly informative/interesting. Looking forward to more!

You can look in the "current turn around rates from CGC" thread to get a good idea of how long the different tiers take. I tracked everything my first time around, so hope this helps ----------------------------------------------- Since it was my very first direct submission to CGC, I tried to track everything (maybe will help other new folks know the process as well). It did seem to take a little bit longer than some other recent timeframes shown on the thread, but I do have them in hand now 4 Books, Modern Fast Track (items with a "-" are a status that shows up on the My Submissions section of the site) Mailed (from Texas) : 6/02/2018 Delivered (Florida) : 6/04/2018 -Verified : 6/06/2018 *invoice shows up on My Submissions Credit Card Charged : 6/07/2018 -Scheduled for Grading : 6/12/2018 -Graded : 6/13/2018 -Grading/Quality Control: 6/14/2018 -Shipped/Safe : 6/19/2018 *grades show up on My Submissions Delivered (Texas) : 6/25/2018

Back in the early-mid 80s, my parents met him at some convention for work or something. They got me a signed picture that had his regular face and the Darth Vader helmet side-by-side, and he signed the exact same thing I need to go find that...

This post in the "Signature Room" forum is somewhat related, and may have some relevant info

I think it's just for certain categories, and I didn't see collectables...hope/wish I am wrong

We should probably be nice, just in case....

Same for me. I know I'm very small potatoes in the CGC scheme of things, but I had my first submission a few months ago and have been discouraged in sending in my next batch (not counting my SS currently there). My first batch just had too many on some (not all) the books...

Both. Jackie says it in the finale as he is walking out with her.

Have you looked into either of these two places? I haven't used them, but I have been debating trying these (and Gweedo's, well until all this stuff happened). http://www.gradecomstore.com/graded-book-pod-museum-edition/ They have an option where you can put a UV protector on the slab, maybe like a screen protector? https://www.dynamiccomicdisplays.com/themed-cgc-cbcs-displays Some of these look really nice, but adding museum glass can make the price jump quite a bit (expected, I suppose).

Also Gwen Stacy...

I actually have one that went through a facilitator at SDCC, so I'll have to remember that!

I think I had 8 with that submission, and it probably depends on who you talk with...I just get too impatient

I tried with my last submission once it hit Graded/QC, but they told me to wait until the next day and I'll see it online (which it was)

Right, that's her "Fang" costume

Nice! I have actually been looking to get one of those

I had that happen to me today as well. I submitted offer and they accepted, but then I couldn't "Add to cart" from My eBay. However, when I went to check out with an auction win, it was already there in the cart anyway, so all was well...
