Moon Knight was in Wonder Woman 32? 

pretty sure WBN is the right abbreviation

60 cents

75 cents in some circumstances

wait until it arrives and notate the true cost listed on the postage

from there you should be able to determine what handling and packaging costs were and if they are within reason

I have a couple...

that’s more than a litter

Brittany McManus (Signature Series Director title as of end of last year) just recently said, almost every person that has come to do a signing this year will do one again in 2021 (even in conjunction with shows/cons possibly returning) ... given her newer responsibilities and her statements sounds like CGC looks to be in the in house signing business for the long term

I also don’t know if she misspoke but she also said John Romita was coming this year .... maybe she meant to specify Junior but the interviewer put up a picture of Sr.

interview was on Superpower Review (can find on YT)

Will be nice to have another chance for Perez (if he is one of the ones returning) but Romita Sr and Alex Ross still top my want list

https://collectormount.com/shop/ols/products/comicmount

can be used as a wall mount or easel style stand

so for only $120 I can get Saad to sign "who the hell is Sandra Saad and why did I pay $120 for her to write on my book"  ??!!

based on current FMV from 1 source, if it falls to either a 9.0 or 8.5 it would lose $125 in value ($550 to $425)

same swing but in the positive if it went up 1 grade to a 9.4

consensus will say, if you are happy with your current grade 9.2 which seems very solid for a book of that age, then it is not worth risking 

there are too many variables that can go wrong ... damage in shipping the book again either to or back from CGC, improper handling of the book by the facilitator or signer, a grader with different thoughts on a 9.2 than the original grader, etc, etc

find another book and go from there .... good luck

I am really curious about that Woverine 1 in 9.4. Any chance you could post a better picture in the please grade me thread so we could check why it would get that ?

 

  

I think you meant to address this to @Legion HQ

I just got this one back today

Clean sigs, great placements

unfortunately those newton rings on Spidey’s waist are a bummer

other tips I would add from my vast experience with having books signed (1 ... but hey at least I went in informed)

familiarize yourself with the talent’s signature and make your window spacious enough to fit said signature

pick an eye pleasing spot on the book for the sig .... this may seem obvious but I’ve seen numerous books with little thought for this ... you may be limited by the busy-ness of the art on the cover 

write on the window box tape what color you want the sig done in if you have a preference or want to avoid getting lost in cover art ... signer may not always heed your direction but it’s worth the ask if important to you

multi board the book in the bag .... you don’t know who will be handling the book and this may prevent unwanted damage

well I just received my signed book from the CC signing and my mood went from pure elation ......

 

....  to major disappointment in a matter of just a few minutes

props to team CGC (Jennifer, Brittany) for taking care of my issue with a re-slab

got my book back again today and it looks much better, while there are a couple of minuscule newton ring spots around the sig it is nothing like the original slab .... hopefully in the future they find a way to make the slabs 100% free of this effect

What day is Bagley actually going to be on site at CGC? Cutoff was Aug 14th, should be this week right? Or early next? 

FB updated recap says next week

I find it odd, did they say your books are being pressed. I haven't seen a single person with their graded Steranko books. Also were charged by ccs before they begin pressing right, yet I was charged for pressing by ccs then the status on cgc changed to received by cgc, I can only assume my books were pressed before this supposed signing they say happened. 

again, books are not pressed for the SS events until after the signing

CGC did an updated recap today on their FB page and lists Steranko under completed signings

Steranko’s own Twitter post confirms the signing has happened already the week of 8/2

This week hosted a CGC SPECIAL EVENT at which I did a massive, witnessed signing for comics and magazine collectors the world over! Deepest THANX to the beautiful and efficient BRITTANY, who organized and structured the effort, and to JOSH, who made the 12-HOUR SESSION a success!

A rep from CGC told me it already happened but I doubt that. It sucks to know that our books are just sitting there.......

why would you doubt it, what reason would CGC have to lie??!

if you look at CGC's FB feed, Brittany commented that the Snyder signing was completed last week (that post was dated 6 days ago, so just about 2 weeks ago)

I cannot post the direct link as I am not registered on FB but you can confirm what I am saying in the comments of CGC's post from 7/29 regarding "Let's Recap, Shall We?"

If the book is unread how do they know what they are listing

Thinking this is not a 4.0

Maybe at its highest, lowest a 3.0, but 3.5 still a "fair" price

Fantastic Four featuring The Frightful Four in a 4.0 would be un4getable

make sure you are logged in

go to cgccomics.com

click on My CGC (upper right) >>> My Submissions >>> View Status under Submission Tracking

look under status of Order # in question and see if it says Received or any other status of movement

breathe sigh of relief

Today..... My four FM SS comic books are back from the presses and  show status as received.... only a matter of time. Should be just under five months from original receive date at CGC.

To be fair you had until the end of May (originally) to submit the books and then the signing was moved back a month and didn’t take place  until 7/14.  Given they said 6 weeks for grading and pressing they are actually ahead of schedule

anyone else still waiting for their Crain books?  Mine still say "Received 6/9/20".

They were there 5/11. I have two books that were in for the Miller signing as well. They still say "received".

I assume they were being pressed, if not there would be cause to be concerned
