Hulk 181 presents very well for a 3.5

Salute to those who made it to the top 10. 

Seem to be grading much harsher than CGC, hopeful to fare better this round. Lots to learn...

I'm in

really inconvenient for us that work weekdays to have the sub system be down on weekends....

still down

Twins!

Let's get Lee/Williams too...CGC if you're reading....

If you're referring to the in-house signings, it won't work because they're at different times. 

CGC answered someone's similar question on Facebook

I've  got a question for fellow boardies, I've got feed back from a couple guys...

I have a universal 9.8 tales of the teen titans I was considering submitting to get George Perez signature.

My only fears is that it doesn't get the 9.8 and gets a 9.6 with his sig...

What are your opinions?

I'm sure they've already told you, but there is no guarantee it will return a 9.8. Your best bet, should you have it signed, is to have it pressed as well through the signing.

Considering the current circumstances here in the States, I wouldn't be surprised if they're working with limited staff. I can only speak for my experiences, but I've yet to experience anything bad, that said, I'm much more patient than most. 

Hurts to say but I probably hold the record for "mechanical errors" from this signing. Don't think CGC is paying their workers enough to care if they're completely ignoring clearly written instructions/directions for which books are for which labels. It's even funnier because the invoice returned to me the 2nd time had it labeled correctly too. 

1st time receiving books - all special labels missed

2nd time receiving books - 1 special label missed

3rd time - we shall see...

That’s what I wanted Too.... They said license ended on venom so I can’t get it and I’m not guaranteed a nyc Spider-Man. So I could send but it might not get it.......

Their response didnt say anything to me about nothing being unavailable though Im thinking I should clarify on my return to sub for the newer one then if thats what they told you. NYC Spidey was still available when I filled out the reholder form earlier tonight, and they just announced a new Venom today it looks like.

they offered to Give me the nyc Spider-Man logo but there should be new labels within 2-4 weeks so idk. Talk to them. 

got a response back, they provided shipping label and just need me to send them back to get re-holdered free of charge so im going to do that. hope it works out for you. i was only looking to get the venom label and nyc spidey so hopefully they get it right this time.

wow, well thank you. That makes me feel better knowing someone is dealing with the same problem. 
 

call them if u haven’t tomorrow to get refunded. 
 

will u send urs back? 

If they can get the labels then yes, but from what I'm reading, their response to you was only an offer of a refund right?

The person on the phone also told me they couldn’t guarantee me a nyc Spider-Man label even if I sent them the book back tomorrow so idk. I’m just pissed off about this. But I’m happy with everything else, my signatures Todd did, The super quick turn around time, they price and everything. Just in their haste to get them back I didn’t get the labels I requested. Which isn’t the end of the world, I kinda wished they could do more for me instead of refunding me $10 for the labels tho. 

You're not the only one. I just got my books back today, all 5 I requested and paid for labels. No labels. I'm pretty sure I filled out the form correct too.

was yours pressed?

 

No pressing. Most were 9.4/9.6 anyways, with the exception of 2 Spawn #1's slabbed 9.8, returning as 9.8 

2x Received 12/6/19, shipped 1/21/20
5x Received 12/6/19, shipped 1/24/20

Edit: No pressing. Only sent in 2 Spawn #1s and both were slabbed 9.8, returning 9.8

No loss in any grades at all thankfully, now to see if the ink requests made it through 

Definitely agree that CGC needs to capitalize on send-ins with more artists/creators

I have a free account so no account number.  On the form should I just write “free account” in the account number field?

You can leave it blank, and it will probably help to use the same email/info you used to register an account here on the site/forum

If I put a $5 bill in my already signed book, will Todd pretend he signed it at the signing?

also does anyone know why he won’t sign that specific short list?

He doesn't sign books he had nothing to do with/didn't get paid for basically, and doesn't do ratio/incentive variants out of principle. You can hear him talk about it here

Another related question - if you were going to choose between:

Spawn 1

Spider-Man 1 green

Spider-Man 1 silver

Spider-Man 1 gold

to send in for the signing, which would be your choice?

These are all my original, direct market copies and not planning on selling.  Just wondering if you could only do one, which would you choose as the best SS candidate?

Personally, I'd go for Spawn since that is purely Todd's own original creation and what he will be most known for in his legacy.

Hi, so just to clarify. If I have a SS book to send in and they crack it open to add another signature, will they update the label with both signature info?

Yes. 

I've read 2 people on Facebook saying they've called CGC and they said they will crack slabs for free, you just have to provide a window bag.

I also emailed them and got the same response, but nothing about the bag or a $5 fee.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Questions, I currently dont have any paid memberships, if I were t purchase the Premium ($149) would I be able to use that 149 credit towards the $89 fee per comic, can the credit also be used towards the marvel labels?

Submissions for the private signing only need a free membership but if you're submitting multiple books, the credit/membership pays for itself since those would be used towards everything. Unless billing/accounting says otherwise.

registry is down, i was verifying some books last night and got through just fine, not working this morning
