I've had dozens of SS submitted..never has it been within a week of deadline...BUT, if no one has had their Peach Momoko SS submitted then I will relax..somehow, I doubt it (but at least it wasn't an expensive comic) BTW, my Mcfarlane from the most recent signing was opened within a few days of receipt and I sent it as soon as CGC posted it

it is a SS..although they dont know that because I didnt mark the box..IDK, maybe they opened it and havent inputted the submission but the deadline for this particular artist is July 7th. In the past they have waited but never anywhere this close to the deadline

oh , I know...it's a spoon shoot..

My submission was delivered to warehouse and scanned on June 7th..still no entry to submission. Customer service told me it can take up to 20 days (business I guess) to open and submit ...which is the turnaround time for Modern....so, I am concerned they lost my submission.

3/3.5

4.5

so we can say it's just a means to an end ? or is it worse than that?

Saw the first episode ...loved it About a 13 foot tall 19 year old kid..without getting into any of them, has many cultural themes of the day

I do kinda agree with you..sold my ASM 119 stan lee sig after having it for two months but many others dont Last week, an ASM 38 8.5 signed by Stan Lee auctioned for $901, while an ASM 38 (no sig) at 8.0 auctioned off for $265 ..both on comiclink, side by side.

has to be two different submissions

I have been part of a couple art collectives which included designers, musicians, artists, etc. This struggle to define the 'creator' of something as either the person who came up with the idea or the person who put it in physical form was very real within the collectives ...and probably the main reason why these collectives always disintegrated..co creator would work for some projects but for those who only generated an idea..it was difficult to give credit and that caused a lot of drama. And this was usually because the physical manifestation of the idea was several degrees removed from the original idea. I can understand Neal Kirby's frustration with Stan Lee because what I think he is trying to express is that an idea requires many stages to become reality and all those changes are as valid as the original spark, and in some cases, moreso. I don't know anywhere in which the original idea (alone) is credited with so much value as we see in Stan Lee's self defense. Nobel Prizes are not given out to people with an idea..you have to put the work into it (in the form of publishing). Entertainment awards are not given to ideas but to the actual released projects (to the public). I think Stan Lee contributed a great deal to the comic world..but so did Jack Kirby and he deserve the accolades and credit also.

May want to post images of the issue on 'please grade my comic' section to get a better idea of condition

it's bittersweet for me..still waiting for a submission to be opened and posted that was delivered over two weeks ago seems like this is all a crapshoot

This sat in GEI for ten days ...then PRESTO! ..Shipped !

It's because the logo department is fighting with the custom label dept....ever since that day the custom label department stole the logo department's yogurt..it goes back and forth...we can only guess what will happen next

When I get my slabs returned, they take about 2 days to get to Oregon and then they sit 3 days there before they head to seattle ..my only guess is that they sit for 3 days because they are waiting to fill up trucks..IDK

Okay, delivered two weeks ago...still not opened/put in submission..like good ole days

Seems interesting to raise the money to fund a comic..but, personally, I have enough to read and collect just from the traditional method

Not really

Ultimate Comics All New Spiderman 5 ugh, sold mine (below) in February..shoulda waited until the trailer came out...funny thing is, no other Miles Morales related issues have increased as far as I can tell

I sold a ASM 129 (6.5) on MCS last June for 2K....and one recently sold on Comiclink for 1200...but to put it in proper perspective..I bought the 129 6.5 for 700 in summer 2019 ( and that was FMV at the time, maybe a little under)

Okay, well last time I did economy it took over a year..the good ole days

you can only access MCS sold listings under that particular issue if it's going to auction or has been in a recent auction from the past couple months

I have noticed a lot less use of the "-ish" term..finish, goodish, etc
