    Pirate got a reaction from oakman29 in Whats the best tape for Mylites?   
    I used to use scotch but now going to the little sticky color dots that you use for yard sale pricing. They remove real easy and are less likely to stick to comics like tape.

    Who is in charge of Signature Series?
     
    UPDATED Sam Peterson, email at speterson@cgccomics.com
     
     
    Where are my books?
     
    If you have an invoice number, you can call CGC customer service. If you do NOT, contact the facilitator who you went through to get your books signed. Don't call CGC without an invoice number. Also there is an estimated turn around time posted on their submissions page, use that.
     
     
    If I have a book with a yellow label already, can I add more signatures?
     
    Yes, contact CGC at show or submit through facilitator. Book must NOT be removed from slab or label is VOIDED.
     
     
    Can I get a raw book I had signed 20 years ago slabbed with a yellow label?

    NO
     
     
    Can I send in my DF signed raw book with a COA to get a yellow label?
     
    NO
     
     
    Can I send in my signed raw book that I have photographic evidence it was signed?

    NO
     
     
    My LCS gave me a signed raw book from their wonderful store signing, can I get a yellow Label?
     
    NO
     
     
    I have a great sketch at home on one of those blanks, can i get a yellow label?
     
    NO, with sketches a witness must pick up the sketch directly from the artist OR the artist must contact CGC and mail directly into service center.
     
     
    How do I get a Stan Lee book signed?
     
    Private message Desert Wind Comics or wait for specific signings by board members such as Kevin_Boyd and Paradise Comics
     
     
    What if I have a million questions about Stan signings?

    CGC onsites at select shows. See front page for details
     
     
    I will be attending a show CGC is setup at, how do I get books signed?

    Once I have agreed to send books to a facilitator, then what?
     
    Fill out an invoice and prepare your books for the signing. Make sure to write all your information including board name on the back of each bagged board. INCLUDE your money plus any agreed upon facilitator fees. Pack your items well. Here are links to important threads.

    Some examples of keys I believe need reviews.  I know the algorithm is based on rarity, issue, title.  In today's market price is a big indicator of rarity on keys.
    Werewolf by Night #32  a 7.5 is worth 250 points and goes for about $900 
    She-Hulk #1 9.8 is worth 440 points and goes for $300 
    Marvel Premiere #15 CGC 9.2 675 points worth about $400 
    Daredevil #168 9.6 925 points  worth about $400
    Amazing Spiderman #194 9.6 380 points worth over $500

    Surface shipping can be slow, this batch took 5 weeks.  Generally it's 1 week to 5 weeks as they come by boat.  I"m cool with that.  The following is not typical but shows how much @gojira cares about his packaging.   I will post a series of pictures.  The package was crushed, half submerged in water (the smell of wet cardboard was overwhelming)  This will blow your mind.
