received back my JRJR and JSC submissions over the last 2 days mixed feelings let's start with ASM 238 signed by JRJR biggest disappointment here falls back to a brain fart on my part .... I knew the book I was submitting did not have the Lakeside Tattooz insert ... yet the primary reason I wanted to submit the book was to get the book slabbed with the custom Hobgoblin label before it was retired by CGC .... I knew I was going to get a green/yellow qualified label but it never hit me that because there was that small strip of green on the label there is no custom label in these circumstances ... lesson learned the sig was done where I indicated I wanted it and am happy it is done bold ... yes I know it is just his initials but that was all I was expecting onto the JSC book not much to say, sig is where I asked for it .... only regret is maybe I should have specified a color (silver) ... while I appreciate that the wallcrawler's primary color (red) was used it kind of gets lost in the dark a bit ... I also saw some in orange that he did, that while seemed like an odd color choice, popped new Black Cat custom label would have been nice but clearly it was just made available now not back when I submitted ... still don't know why they haven't fixed the hologram placement covering up a good portion of the art both books were pressed by CCS though I am about to abandon that pretty soon as I honestly have seen no indication on any recent submission using their services that their "trade secret process" has done anything to improve even the most basic fixable flaws an amateur presser could fix lastly, both books are able to shake a bit in the slab ... give neither came back with Newton rings I am going to say CGC has likely done something recently to keep the plastics more separated onto the books ......

I’ve also noticed this with 2 books I just received back I just chalked it up to a change by CGC to reduce incidents of Newton rings

Hi CGC I assume this error in expectation is somewhat on me ..... I submitted an Amazing Spider-man 238 that did not have the Tattooz insert included for the John Romita Jr in house private signing The primary reason I submitted this book was to get this book slabbed with the Hobgoblin custom label before it was retired I just received my submission back today and it came with a green/yellow qualified label which was not the custom label would it be fair to say that qualified books yellow or otherwise are not able to receive a custom label in any way? I guess I could have indicated with my submission to have this graded as a defect at a lower grade in order to get the non qualified and custom yellow label, yes? thanks in advance for any feedback and maybe this can help others in the future

my submission provided for the open lot

JSC book shipped today, 1 day after the JRJR book unfortunate these couldn’t have been consolidated to save on return shipping would have had to request that when submitting but that would have required holding until the McFarlane book was signed as well

the people receiving them already are books that CGC brought with to New York Comicon where Todd signed some …. the remaining will be signed sometime this month when Todd travels to CGC in FL to sign in house …. this will take p,ace over multiple days and possibly (though not probable) multiple visits depending on what the submission volume was

JRJR book shipped JSC book G/QC ... of course the day CGC announces a Black Cat custom label

other than the slight damage to a case from 2013 what possible reason(s) in your mind would there be for this slab to have been cracked open and replaced by either the same or different X101 book signed by both Lee and Claremont?? seems like the most probable answer is general wear and tear to the slab from handling over time or damage from shipping seems like you have a line of communication with the seller so I would just flat out ask if he/she were aware of the damage, if they were the original owner and knew how it came to be, or if it wasn’t there prior to them shipping to you (if that is how the transaction took place)

Mile High-heels

first one was held in Tampa FL in July of this year https://www.cgccomics.com/news/article/10102/ I would keep an eye on their news announcements or social media for further such events

JRJR and JSC books both GEI and McFarlane book checked in as received today

JRJR book went to GEI status today (?) didn’t know he signed already (no social media posts by CGC of this) and never saw it hit SFG maybe I got it confused with the JSC submission noted above as that only shows SFG status now and I thought it said GEI yesterday

and mine has yet to be checked in yet …. relax, breathe

not sure why you guess that ..... when this was first teased on 8/1 Todd specifically said he would "head out to Florida in December" https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=5334144126661404

or they will just leave the book at your front door while you are out of town and will sign for you yep, that happened to me recently

GEI status today on the JSC

books for the Romita Jr, Hanna, Wells signing were noted as due to CGG on 9/16 same date as Palmiotti and Connor and that in house private signing hasn't occurred yet I wouldn't sweat it

How do you press a comic? We get asked this quite often, but our process is a trade secret. It’s a process we have spent thousands of hours developing through research, testing, and pressing hundreds of thousands of comics. https://www.cgccomics.com/ccs-pressing/

has CCS ever shown an inside look at their facility and processes? somewhat telling when the company's own marketing video doesn't show a single press (in general, not even in action)

discuss MCS response posted here

thanks for the update and your efforts @CGC Mike this is good news

and as I mentioned in a post on the Sig Room sub-forum, they have no problem presenting it correctly in their marketing materials @Brittany M.

just when I though CGC couldn't be any more incompetent they prove me wrong funny how they get it correct in their marketing materials but can't get it right on the final product they might as well have just put the hologram over the "odd" in his name on the label to double Tbag us

my JSC submission (with a press) hit status SFG today

did it have CCS pressing services? If not I wouldn’t put too much stock into the SFG status as that would be the first status listed when received
