My Ninja Turtles 4 2nd prints were just delivered today, one is a 9.0 and the other a 9.4. Pleased with their grades. The 9.0 actually looks better than the 9.4, but I guess there is an ink pull on the cover that I can’t see.

Several of the others which were scheduled for grading on 4/5 just finished grading today and yielded excellent results (see images)! They must’ve done an awesome job pressing them. Of note, I had the #1 third print signed last year and didn’t know much about pressing so it came back a 7.5, got quite the bump to 9.2 and is now double signed.

Now just waiting on my Raphael 1 first print which I had signed/remarked/pressed. Sitting in received status since January but was hopefully signed and remarked at the recent signing.

Well my Eastman signed Donatello 1 and TMNT 10 are both scheduled for grading as of this morning. I can't wait 

I assume you had just submitted for signing and grading and not pressing, correct?
 

Mine are all still sitting there as “received” but they were able to confirm that they were signed. I sent in 9 comics total, all Mirage 1-4, Raphael 1, and Fugitoid. Wish there was more clarity in all of this. Everything was usually logged into the system within a few days of delivery, including the specific comic  titles in each order. I probably won’t send anything else in for signing or grading until they have this a bit more streamlined.

Hi there,  We were also sad that we could not get all the books signed while Kevin was in town. I recommend reaching out to our Signature Series team and they can look up your order. And if you find that your books did not make the initial in-house signing, they can assist you with canceling your signing order if that's what you're most comfortable with.

Thank you for your reply. I was able to get ahold of them and they said my comics were signed, the status just hasn’t been updated from received. Thanks again for your help!

Hello,

I read that not all of the comics sent in for the Eastman signing were signed, which is disappointing. Is there a way to find out if my comics were signed? They arrived in 3 separate orders, the largest was submission 3769642. 
They were all marked as received on 1/7 and 1/8 I believe, but have not changed status since then. They are all getting pressed as well. I hope they were all signed because I’m not really comfortable with the comics traveling outside of CGC to be taken to Eastman for signing. Thank you for any help!

The remarque option, will be more detailed than his regular turtle head. He is not guaranteeing a turtle head with his regular signature.

Thank you for the reply, appreciate the insight!

Hello,

do you know if Kevin Eastman will be including his basic turtle remark with his signature like he usually does? Or will a remark only be included if paying for the $110 for the remark? I’m assuming those remarks will be more detailed than usual, but just wanted to know before I submit my comics. Thanks!

Maybe that had to bump some of your comics up a tier? Did you estimate FMV on the low low side?

I estimated on the lower side, but none of them would be worth more than maybe $200 even after graded. So I don’t think that’s it, but who knows... I’ll just email the billing department to see what they say. This is only my second submission and I don’t remember if the last one had these extra charges. I’m assuming your submissions usually don’t then?

Hello,

I was just curious what the additional $50 or so in fees is from on my recent submission? Specifically, the 10.07, 21.92, and 9.03 charges? Just curious because I don’t recall seeing that much in additional fees previously on top of the grading, shipping/handling, and processing fees already included in the 397.00 charge.
