before you rush into anything, I would suggest taking pictures of your slabs (front and back) and post those pics in the following sub-forum >>>> https://boards.cgccomics.com/forum/42-hey-buddy-can-you-spare-a-grade/

yes, the inside of the book will not be visible but more schooled members here can observe and see if they see pressable defects and can potentially gain insight from grader notes tied to the submission number

if it is determined, pressing/cleaning, etc may get you a grade bump (always the chance for the opposite) you should weigh that against what the additional cost of that will be and what your intention is for the books in the future

if you do decide to go forward I would seek out a respected pressing service that is going to give your books attention they may deserve … in my limited experience CGC Pressing (formally CCS) has not been that solution that I would confidently recommend to anyone other than needing the most minimal done

best of luck in whatever you decide

CGC won’t have anything to do with the scheduling

you’d be better off reaching out to Celebrity Authentics

also, there is another existing thread about this

 
and yes it sucks to be left in the dark when someone else is holding your collectible(s)

Would be nice if we weren't charged before the date is even set up. Don't get that really. And if it is going to be that way it should be made clear. 

• Books will be received into the CGC system when they arrive and will be safely stored by CGC until the event. (Please note: Payments are processed as they normally are at the time of the collectibles’ arrival at CGC.)

Anyone know when this is happening?  (Just curious as I went to start a Gaiman sub and saw my Gibbons books in the tracker LOL)

per their FB post from today, this has just completed …..

We know you guys are going to love this weekend’s #SignatureSeriesSaturday because the CGC Signature Series crew has officially wrapped up our signings over the pond with superstar creators #CharlieAdlard, #AndyLanning and #DaveGibbons! Get a load of these deadly sketches and Remarques graced upon your submissions that you’ll surely see movement on soon! Drop a comment if you spot yours and make sure to keep an eye out for more behind-the-scenes looks from our diligent #CGCSignatureSeries team!

as posted in the progress thread

really happy with how this looks, sure would have liked the extra .2 but didn’t expect it

also in hindsight probably should have asked for the sig in orange, that would have probably popped

funny how someone who can make such amazing art has such an ordinary sig

I see why his YT channel doesn't get many views.

That's bold! It's favored I hear!

So it wasn't an option, and just happen to work out! Man I wonder if that would work with Campbell 

I think you are confused 

AH! remarques definitely were offered

Ron C is saying he sent in the blank sketch cover because he paid for it

Hughes didn’t just do it out of his kind heart

nice offerings, glwts

I often wonder if they do pressing sometimes

I often wonder if the "after" are after CGC opens your submission and "before" pics are before CGC slabs your book

Hi all!

Similar to Wonder Woman, Joker, Catwoman, (Sensation #1, DC #40 and #122 respectively), and many other great characters, the below books should be given the designation “first cover appearance of _____” 

3.    Amazing Spider-Man #51 - Kingpin

Depicted prominently on the cover.

 

 

100% this

from the Thomas guest column .....

Quote

Without Stan Lee, there might have been some good stories … some splendid art … but it’s highly unlike that there would have an overarching Marvel Universe.

was Lee not the first to come up with the editor footnotes/annotations referencing other events/appearances/flashbacks etc as well as speaking directly to the reader as well as giving printed flattering nicknames and call outs to the bullpen and such 

if so I 100% agree with that quote

At least it shipped, hope it comes back done well. I'm hoping to see some pics of these sigs eventually 

I'm curious what books people chose

I'd have chose Harley Quinn 1999, but that may be so old hat as I haven't heard it mentioned anywhere in a long time. 

Marvels #3 (Surfer cover) 

was between that or #4 (Spidey cover) but there was a fingerprint on that acetate that wasn’t coming out

Ross book moved to GEI today

Ross book show shipped but with tomorrow’s date

6/27/23

never saw it go to QC status, given what I’ve seen and experienced from QC I shouldn’t be surprised

Still waiting:( can anyone from cgc help me out ?? I sent mine soooo long ago 

what kind of help are you in need of?
Ross signed starting the last week of May

estimated turnaround time for grading (no press) is 6 weeks

they are still within that window

it matters not when you sent the book in

patience

Any chance of getting Lou Ferrigno? 

there was supposed to be one in 2021

https://www.cgccomics.com/news/article/8895/

we would ship to our neighbors to the north but we don't want to get blamed for our books smelling like smoke when they get to you
