Schedule for grading - 6/24/22...marked Received - 6/21/21...

Happy Anniversary to me! "Received 6/21/2021"...not a word on them.

Marked "Received": June 21, 2021. Marked "Shipped": June 15, 2022 for 1 of my three submissions lines. One of them is marked as "Grading/Encapsulating" while the other still says "Line item detail is not yet available". Will I hit 1-year? Who's excited?

Ooh!! 10 days until I hit my 1 year mark from "Entered". Not a peep from CGC. So excited...

Oh man, if Laird came out of retirement to do a signing, can you image how much CGC would break? Everyone who just got their Eastman turtles back would slap a new label on them and ship 'em right back. Just look at what Eastman's signings did to TATs and backlog!

Signing for Fleecs and Forstner - signed on 11/30, shipped today.

I don't think Brzrkr's going anywhere beyond cover or less...way over hyped/produced. Anybody disagree? I'd love to be wrong.

We all gotta guess sometimes! Any thoughts on speculation on 55?

Still holding out for Brian K. Vaughan, Neil Gaiman and Stan Sakai. I know Vaughan is at Baltimore coming up. Any handlers willing to take (far too late) submissions? I'd also be interested in Cliff Chiang. If they could get Peter Laird - can you imagine the backlog, considering what Eastman did? They'd make an absolute fortune (again).

Last shipping marked as sent! Thank you CGC, Kevin and Ben for this offering. Also, thanks for dealing with all of the insanity of this particular offering. Now, pending USPS working, I've now upgraded my grail!

Could not be more pleased with these! Especially the #4...it went up from an 8.0!

One of my two shows 5/5/21 and hit GQC on Friday...so I feel they're making good progress! The one I REALLY want back, though, went SFG on 5/10...We're almost there folks!

Have they ever done a signing where such a large percentage of the submissions are magazine size? I mean, all of the Last Ronin submissions are magazine, in addition to the original Mirage. I imagine this case was unique in their experience so not being able to anticipate the bottleneck is understandable. That said...I'd really like to get my Mirage books back!

I'm looking for somebody to help me get some issues signed. I know there are people who I can ship comics to who take care of "official" signatures. I am not looking for graded/signed issues.

Anybody have a hook up for getting CGC verified Sakai signatures? I keep seeing them pop up on ebay. I know he did a signing with "the other one" a while back. Any plans for him coming to CGC?

Sweet! My first 9.9!

They'll post the grades and comments (if applicable) as soon as they mail it. If you're impatient (like me), you'll check and peek ahead. If you enjoy suspense, wait until the box arrives.

Three books into G/QC! The remainder just moved to SFG. Progress!

Some of mine just did too...but the one I REALLY want back is still "received". Glimpses, yes...but still...this wait for the one is hard!

Anybody WITH a press have a status beyond RECEIVED? I have a few books out and was curious if there's a notation in the dashboard to indicate that they've moved onto pressing from signing or if we just get a notification after press. Does anybody know if there is a way to check the signing status of books that are due for a press as well? I know the press adds 3 weeks post signing. I'm wondering if my books are in the second wave of signing or if, somehow

If they could pull an Eastman/Laird signing, they would make a whole lotta money on the event.

Thanks, all! So, I can be "not surprised but somewhat disappointed" with a 6.0 and "shocked and elated" if above a 7.0...all assuming no surprises.

Press would help with visual appeal, and that would be worth it to me. I know a press won't do a bit of good with the color breaks! Thanks for your insight!

These are photos from the seller. I don't have others. The first picture is a weirdly angled front at least? They might be giving me more pictures today. I asked about "missing/torn pages" and was told "no" and "I can send you some more pictures tomorrow".

Hey folks, I've come across a mid-grade Albedo 2. There are a few defects, including a CB dent on the cover (lower left) and some spine breaks. Inside seems good. What grade do you think this could achieve with and without pressing? I'm trying to figure out what would be fair to offer a seller.
