My old eyes cannot see the spots you are referring to, maybe place a arrow pointing to the spots, also, can we get a full cover shot?

Also, that book does not appear to be a NM/MT 9.8, with the uncentered staple, the corner wear with color loss

CGC is very forgiving with uncentered staples and miswraps. 9.8s are very possible if everything else is in line with 9.8 standard. The other company is not forgiving on these defects 

I’d like to get a book that is already signed and slabbed in a yellow label signed by Bradley Cooper. CGC no longer has this signing available for submission but Twincities still does. Would I be able to send in to them directly and keep the yellow label?

How would that remotely make sense? The card would still be a 9.5 under the blue label grading standards.

“Blue Label Grading Standards”  

you actually typed this 

I’m in and I’m going to win. 
 

open to side bet pool if anyone is interested

I am having this issue as well. I tried signing out and it is still happening. 

Well thank you. I tried that yesterday and it hadn’t scanned in yet. I was just thrown off by the tracking saying it was delivered to a front desk. 

I’ve submitted hundreds of books over the last few years and everytime I do the tracking always says that it has been picked up from PO Box. My most recent sub says it was delivered on Monday but reads differently than I’ve ever seen before. I am 100% Sure the package was addressed correctly. Please see the picture and let me know if I should contact USPS. Thank you

Hi @KaileeS CS, will the Signature Series get the new label design as well?  If so, can you share an example with us?

Thank you! 

I hope not

If I send in a Marvel Card at 9.5 can I get the 10 but keep the classic Blue Label?

Much appreciated. 

This was literally received 8 days ago and was shipped 12 days ago. So by no metric has the 14 day window closed

This is pretty frustrating. I sent in a book to be reholdered to notate it being a Newstand issue. I wrote that it was a Newstand on the paperwork. I also taped a note to the slab explaining that it was a Newstand as well. Of course when it gets posted as recieved there is no mention of it being a Newstand. I emailed customer service to explain that this needed to be fixed. This book arrived at my house last Friday. I was out of town and I just opened it and of course it doesn’t have newsstand notation on it. I attempt to use a mechanical error to send this back to have fixed and it says the window to do this is closed. Despite the fact that I am supposed to have a two week window from the day it was received. So two things….

1. I need help to get this fixed, I’ll attach the info about the order and a screen shot showing FedEx delivered last Friday. 
 

2. If you are going to make newsstand notations available you guys need to be be aware of how to identify newsstand books. This is a Star Wars book from 2003. The direct sales have “Direct Sales” printed in the UPC. Newsstands have “Star Wars:Universe” printed in the UPC.

Doing so will create false perceived scarcity as all the many newsstands graded from 1999-2022 will not be listed separate in the census. Unless that 23 years of data is present then it is tantamount to encouraging a lie. Same as it is now with multi-pack stuff.  Unscrupulous sellers,dealers, auction houses and flippers will make a killing selling books to the uniformed advertising them as "newsstand 1/1".  Therefore I'm sure CGC will do it

 

I don’t disagree with your point however there isn’t any point in noting it on the label if it isn’t going to have its own sub catagory in the census as it’s very obvious if a book is a newsstand, with some exceptions like dark horse Star Wars and a few others

They shouldn't.

Who shouldn’t what?

Any chance I can still get something in on this? I just realized it was scheduled

The Reason I ask is because I can submit a book to be signed and graded through Celebrity Authentics up until July 21. Obviously I’d rather just submit through CGC and my own account. Please consider opening this back up to public as this signing isn’t likely to occur any time soon

Honestly I assumed that would be the case when this was rolled out. As simply denoting newsstand on the label isn’t really that helpful as most collectors can easily determine this for 99% of books. 
 

please consider adding this feature

I recently dropped one of my SS Slabs (oopsie) which cause a slight crack to the holder. It looks like no damage was done to the book. The book is a 9.2 and after looking at it, I really think it could benefit from a press. Is there anyway that I could submit for a reholder and have ccs press the book while keeping my yellow label? It looks like once I choose reholder I cannot select CCS pressing as an option.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You’ll have to resubmit to be pressed and graded. Don’t let people scare you with the downgrade stories. You’re more likely to get an upgrade as you are a downgrade. Downgrades are a very bad advertisement for CCS

Perhaps they can use the price increase for Quality Control.

They are using it to subsidize CSG which is an unmitigated disaster

Does the $210 include any variation of the Chiseled auto? Do we have to notate which Chisel we prefer? These are important questions that need answering

He's not the only one doing this. It's a free country...he's not putting a gun to your head. Just like the recent Tradd Moore art drop...willing seller , willing buyer. If there's no demand for liefeld's creative sigs, then he may reduce his prices or offer something else. So long there's a demand. And seriously speaking the fact that we are still speaking about liefeld after he stopped making anything of note for decades speaks more about his legacy and place in the comic world pantheon. BTW I dislike his art intensely.

The fame that Liefeld still holds doesn’t surprise me. The kids that grew up loving him are all 35-50 years old now. He is bleeding the nostalgia for all he can and more power to him. Even more impressive is that his “Drop Shadow Chiseled Autograph” is the most significant artistic creation he has had in 20 years and his fans still love him. 

I thought only CSG changed to from a Gem 9.5 to a 10.

In case you missed out on getting one of Rob Liefeld’s Chiseled Signatures, we’ve got great news!!! Rob has agreed to open up an additional number of spots for fans to grab some more of his awesome Chiseled Signatures! Don’t wait though, because these will likely sell out fast. If you want to grab yours, be sure to head to CGCcomics.com and fill out a new submission form now!

 

Rob Liefeld ‘Chiseled’ signatures selling out at $210 a pop has caused me to lose complete faith in humanity.
