Hello @Lady Death Footstool,

Thank you for your question. This is a common misconception. When your order is received into the system and visible on your submission tracking page, it is automatically placed in the earliest status for the respective submission. At this time, we do not have a status to show submission is waiting for the signing to take place. Because of this, your books are currently waiting for the signing to take place and then will begin being processed through pressing. I am sorry for the confusion this has caused. Let us know if you have any other questions. 

@MattM CS isn’t it best to eliminate common misconceptions when possible?
also given that CCS was supposedly rebranded to CGC Pressing what better time to update the verbiage used when books are received

Label notes capitalized.  A reliable "tell" that the grader intended this book to have a Qualified (Green) Label.  An Encapsulation Room error.

wasn't there a period of time when people were submitting with custom labels to bypass the green qualified label .... this looks to be back from 2020, I believe they now have the safety net in place to prevent that from happening, no?

#1 want now …

Steranko

get him committed for a SS event while at HeroesCon CGC, this is long (3 years) overdue

I keep playing the lottery so maybe? 

 

I've resigned myself as that is a book I'll likely never own. 

sell all your Spider-Man books to pay for it

I agree.  CGC needs to own their work, accept ownership of previous 9.8 grades, etc.   

If a book is merely cracked and signed -- then slabbed -- it should get the same grade as it came in with.   

If the book is submitted with a request for pressing as well as a signature - it should be graded again.  Only people hoping up the grade are paying for pressing.

It makes ZERO sense books get downgraded.

so say I have a book previously graded a 9.8 by CGC that I have let sit in the sun and now the cover is visibly faded and I send it in to merely be cracked and signed, is it still your belief it makes zero sense for it to be downgraded? /advocate of the devil

and yes, I was "bothered" by the audio issues at my IMAX showing as well

google another grading company on the internet that starts with C but doesn't end in C

Also, anyone else find it weird Comics is not centered?

have you seen how some comics sit in their slabs or looked at how they position the hologram on their custom labels?

why does CGC use the scales of justice on their logo

is it supposed to represent the grading scale?  because there is certainly little justice to be found 

no drug joke yet?

Ross has not signed yet and is scheduled to start doing so next week

anything with pressing services will have a "received at CCS" status (until they rebrand their message) and anything without will have a "scheduled for grading" status

The color and placement isn’t that big of an issue by itself,

if it’s any consolation, the sigs (color and placement) actually present pretty well

newton rings, shards, scuffing of the case …. well that’s just all in a day’s work at CGC

The crystal­-clear plastic’s superior optics unleash the newton ring’s true color and vibrancy.

"celebrity"/actor signings tend to run higher ... guess they have better agents 

Todd can more than make up for his $125/book in volume comparatively

Hello SS fans,

I am not a fan of SS but I was used to have many signed books by Stan Lee, Joe Simon, Frank Frazetta, Joe Kubert, William Shatner & Leonard Nimoy and many others like Michael Golden (last one 2018 with Russ Heath).

It's kinda cool to have Alaqua Cox signing the books. She is deaf like me but I am not sure if it's worthy to have her signing my key issues (DD #9-11).  She never acts in her life until she got a big role in Hawkeye and Daredevil as Echo. I am the part-time actor too but I spent 45 years in acting and never got any big screen or on Broadway. She considerably was very lucky to land a big role but how long will she be in the movie industry?  Lauren Ridloff who is a deaf actress had two big roles in 9th season of Walking Dead and Eternals. She is a veteran actress but her name isn't bigger not even CGC invited her for SS. Her name is forgotten quickly. I don't mind to have David W. Mack signing my book. He is well-known comic book artist for sure.  It would be great to have both Alaqua Cox and Mack signing my book. I don't know how often do we see Mack signing the books - I don't recall if he ever signs books.

Maybe it's one time opportunity for Alaqua Cox.

Should I go ahead to have her signing mine then wait for Mack is available to sign my book (it has to crack the case and I have to pay it again) or just leave them alone. 

Welcome your opinions here.

Jolly 

you may have answered your own question when you say it may be a one time opportunity to have Cox sign your book

I have never seen the D+ Hawkeye series but I would think that if she has any staying power there would be the chance for other opportunities in the future

it is a feel good story that she landed the role and it sounds like you can relate with her as you share some commonality 

As for Mack, I searched the CGC news stories and I don't believe he has ever done a CGC in house signing but that isn't to say he won't ever do one in the future.  I know having seen videos that he regularly  signs at conventions, so if there was one you would be able to attend with a CGC witness on hand there would be a chance to have his sig added to an already signed book while maintaining the yellow label 

I can't answer if $125+ for her signature is worth it to you .... all I can say is do what is within your means and what makes you happy

I have a number of SS books displayed in my collection because it makes me happy to look at them

fruitless, unfortunately

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?

(extended) deadline 5/5 has passed

the anticipation of having your CGC shipment arrive at your doorstep (for those who didn't look) used to be wondering what grades the books came back as

now it is more the dread of what issues exist with the slab(s)?

maybe CGC should include the info about what newton rings, shards of plastic, scratches, mislabelings, etc we can expect in the graders notes so we can be prepared ahead of time

or maybe they are just preparing their next $ide venture of grading the slab itself

TOS 52 without hesitation between those choices 

not sure I understand your question but if you want a yellow SS label you need to have the book signed and witnessed by CGC

from there you can get a standard yellow SS label or one of their current yellow custom labels as seen here https://www.cgccomics.com/news/article/7873/

and in special instances they will have talent specific custom yellow labels for SS events (ex. Todd McFarlane, Alex Ross)

Anyone know the date he is signing?

If I recall correctly there was an image of slabbed SS books that hinted at sometime around the week of Memorial Day
