Phrawst

I think... my book is moving through?

Saw some more blanks on Facebook.. absolute fire!

Some more of the revealed pieces are insanely gorgeous.

So how is he working on them if not?

I'm sure he is finding a way.

There’s always next time I guess. 

Maybe I'll get lucky and he'll do many small doodles in the blank spaces on the very crowded cover I chose. (FF348)

I took a look at the 2-3 examples of head sketches that I was able to find online, that he had done at the last signing..there was a very nice Logan (though no where near as elaborate as the ones being done this time around) and went with that, figuring if I got something at all like that I'd be happy for $120. I also went by the two samples shown in the CGC announcement which looked pretty detailed to me (those were drawn on an X-Men print and are actually fairly decent sized as the print is pretty large); so with that limited info in mind, I sent in eight books; Five sketch covers and three published covers with enough room for a decent sized remarque. I'm amazed at the pieces that have shown up so far; I can only cross my fingers I get something in that range on mine. However long it takes, I'm fine with. 

 

The pieces so far have been crazy.

It is upsetting knowing what others are getting, and because others are getting what would be a much more costly, full sketch cover we are being left waiting with no info on when it is going to be completed.

Art is a busy dude I'm sure!

Although not really publicized,  the first opp Art did people sent in blanks he did the same thing.  I think most of the people sending in the blanks hoped for similar results and lucked out.  It was definitely a gamble, but I hear where you are coming from. 

Lesson learned!

I do not have any new information at this time.  Sorry.

Cheers.

@CGC Mike  can we get an accurate update with what is going on with our remarque orders? Thanks

From the wording of Mikes last reply it seems to me that they don’t even have a date set for when this will happen. Probably why they weren’t able to provide more info. 

Probably.

Really anything would be better than the silence they gave us, until there was enough chatter from us. If this thread would not have gotten any traction I am quite certain they would of never said anything.

All we want is some communication as to what is going on with this.

I tried reaching out to the sig series IG account will report back.

So, I just reached out to someone that knows everything that goes on in the SS program.  We have all of the books.  The artist did not take them with him.  We will get this wrapped up as soon as possible.

@CGC Mike so now we have to wait for him to fly back to Florida with no idea when/if that will happen?

Uh, wait what's happening?  The remarks aren't done (I have one in there), and they have now been broken out of their protective slabs (I had a 9.8 slab) and what, shipped to California?  Ya'll better be real soft on grading these or you're going to have a ton of complaints.  There is no way I would have sent in my book if I knew that was going to be the workflow.  This just seems like a disaster waiting to happen. 

Interesting.

Patiently waiting!

splits are on CGCs no-no list. It doesn't take much. Stains too. A small spot on the back cover can be grounds for 2-3 grades below how the book appears. In general, the fees for their in-house are high enough that you either need a really solid book, or a desire to own something regardless of the grade

I'm presently working on getting my favorite covers signed by artists I love. This cover is very up there for me for Campbell. 

It's obviously no longer a 9.6 so is there any point pretending it's one in that slab?

split that length I'll guess maxes in the 7s

Brutal. Maybe I get one of the other books that reuse that art signed instead.

was it like that when you submitted? 

Bought it this way. Only paid $100 CAD so I'm not salty in that regard. 

Just not sure what to do with it now. I can't sell it as a 9.6 so should I just send it to the signing and resign myself to whatever it comes back as? 

Wanted to send this in for the Campbell signing. Buuuut I'm thinking I take a massive grade hit (even though it's obviously not a 9.6 despite label) 

Sent an email hopefully not too late to get in.

Submitted 3 books for the Campbell signing and opted in for CCS pressing. 

The status on the order has always been "received at CCS". I see now the signing event is done and the status is unchanged. 

Should I be concerned?
