Will there be any facilitators at this event later in the month?

will cgc have a booth there? getting a couple of my books signed

What would it take to get a John Byrne one? I know he hates that kind of stuff though. What's the most you'd pay per book for him? I'd break open the piggy bank for that knowing it would potentially only happen once.

The absolute irony of you, the post OP, forgetting

I know lol. I had them prepped and sitting in my office. I was actually ready to send in way back and then decided to hold because I was going to combine the shipping with my Liefeld books. All good tho.

ugh. I totally forgot to send my books in for the Ross. Had them sitting on my shelf for a month. Wonder if it's too late?

I hoping this FIRST signing is a sign of things to come.  I can't afford to send everything I want signed LOL

First grab for me is:

SDCC Batman 125 sketch cover

Detective 1,000 Shadows cover

Uncanny X-Men 500

Green Lantern 1

Timeless Captain America (regular)

Timeless Daredevil (regular) for my son -- his initials are DD

 

in close for alternates:

JSA Shazam cover (the black covers)

JSA Black Adam

JSA Green Lantern

JSA Flash

Captain Marvel 1 sketch cover

Star Wars 1 (the regular cover, I missed out on the homage)

 

Then there's the GOTG 3000 covers, the JUSTICE covers, his Captain America run of covers, etc etc etc --- somebody stop me !!!!

 

 

 

I didnt know about that Uncanny 500. Just bought it. That's going to be the 2nd book I send along with the MOTU he did in 2022.

Now, what to send? I have a very dope Master of the Universe that he did recentlly that I'll be sending in. Was thinking about the Timeless Heroes 1 per store variant or the SDCC 2022 Batman. Decisions, decisions.

Gee what's wrong with this picture?? I guess that 20 day turnaround doesnt account for the extra month of re-submission for not QC'ing their work. Sad

They'll probably use this new rule to help justify it somehow.

"Based on feedback from prominent members of the collecting community, Certified Guaranty Company® (CGC®) is implementing a change that will reduce the number of defects that are identified on the comic book label."

Damn... This is disappointing.

1. Gem Mint decided to make that video. He needs PR, that aint it dude.

2. Nerdy Girl is a friend, Adam is a good dude. I do believe she was getting copies for others, as she does help out friends.

3. The exclusive hype is still garbage and will remain that way. Flip at your own risk.

4. CGC grading those books is embarrassing. Its a manufactured book and should be a green label.

yeah but, 75 or however many copies she got. Black Flag is more at fault than anyone else. but still...

Yes. 

Or maybe it depends how much you're willing to pay. 

 

or how much "influence" you have.

CGC is fully aware of what we graded and stand behind them.

 

SMH. Way to lose credibility.

I went for the first time this past weekend, great show. Picked this up from my guy, Elveen

People actually have magazines graded? I thought the only important "magazines" were early TMNT issues...

Apparently I've had too much to drink tonight

Some stuff is worth sending in. I had an old Nintendo Power Magazine #1 that I wanted to have graded for possible sale as well as an additional magazine for the PC.

I've had two magazines in since August 2021, not that long, but noticed on the current TAT page that its an average of 255 days. Is there any reason as to why it's so much longer than a comic?

came in here to rant, but my two mags have only been there since August, or at least entered into the system in August. SMH.

Pretty excited to just get the announcement of CGC's Shang-Chi-star Simu Liu signing. Thing is, CGC has had my copy of Shang Chi's first appearance scheduled for grading since mid-July. It's September 5th now. I'm aware of the turnaround times and I'm not too confident that I'll be able to get the comic back from CGC in time to get it in on the signing. Since the book is in CGC's possession now, I was wondering if there's any way to have it added to the signing list?

Sorry in advance if this issue has been covered elsewhere. If it were a common comic I'd just go pick up another copy and send it in, but it's a Bronze Age key.. not so easy to just grab another one.

They wont unfortunately. I wanted to to have a J. Scott Campbell book I have in for signing moved over for his signing and they said they couldnt do it.

This was the response they gave me:

Thank you for your email. Unfortunately, changes are not allowed on orders already submitted.  I am sorry that we cannot accommodate your request.  Due to the extremely high volume of submissions, it is no longer possible for us to divert valuable resources into locating and pulling orders already in house to make changes.  

Kind of BS, but what can you do.

I actually just submitted issue 1 of this. Found it in my mom's garage a couple of weeks ago.

yeah, I am. I reached out to them to see if they could facilitate CGC, but he's never worked with them before. May just have to get the sig and send to those other guys

I've got a couple of these out now for Michael J Fox and Christopher Lloyd signatures. Hopefully will be able to get Peter Cullen at some point.

In the same boat. Mine was submitted back on Dec 14th. Still waiting in received.

How can we get more info on the submission page other than "received" when items have been sent in. If we are submitting multiple comics in package, it would be helpful to know what books are associated with each order number, especially when that info is on the digital order sheet we fill out to send books in. For instance, I sent in 4 different books for three different signings in the same delivery to CGC. It would be nice to see what books we submitted under each order number on the site. I'm trying to track down a book now that should have been a part of the Claremont signing that's only showing "received" and hasn't moved to "scheduled for grading". This individual book information isn't even on the receipts that are generated and sent via email.

Anyone having trouble with the submission tracking tool today and it not showing your submitted items. I logged in to see my items that had recently shipped and its not showing anything on the page for me. I'm sure it's just an error becasue it showed all the items last week, but figured I'd ask.
