So glad that CGC was bought by a billion dollar company. Their improved communication and turn-around-times has been amazing. /s -

I actually Tweeted at Walt Simonson. He didn't know of any signing scheduled. LOL Not too surprising if he has managers/handlers and such making his schedule. But suffice it so say, as of last week, the signing didn't happen yet. -

It would be nice to know if they've done the signing. The cutoff date was June 30. For the Miller/Jansen signing, they posted on Twitter. Do they always do that? Anyone have info? Thanks -

Have you? Or are you just being lazy?

Seems a good idea. They're both going to the same place. Once it gets there they can divert one box one way and one the other. Wondering if you ended up doing this. -
I have no basis for saying this (not that that ever stopped me before), but my guess is that CGC is under internal pressure to maintain the same grade when cracking one of their own slabs and submitting the book for signing. Imagine if it were known that a comic is often damaged by them with frequent down-grading happening. This would be very bad for their business. Of course they say they can't guarantee the same grade, but still, it benefits them to be known for NOT damaging comics.

In-House Private Signing: Frank Miller & Klaus Janson

It went to Sched. for Grading on April 28th. "Scheduled" delivery was May 10th. FedEx lied and said the business was closed and was unable to deliver (they do this, I believe, when they have too many packages to deliver and want to quit early). I believe it only was in that stage for 2 or 3 days and sat in the grading stage for almost all of the rest of the time. -

I think she was referring to her 9.6s and meant they were strict on giving out 9.8s.

Mine went to "Scheduled for Grading" today. No pressing. Prior SS. I can't wait to see the remarques! -

I agree. But I meant, no one has more practice at cracking a slab. -

I also think that no one should be better at cracking a slab, than CGC. Right? I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I sent in a 9.8 Daredevil (minor key) with Stan Lee's sig. on it, to get signed and remarked by M & J. I'm keeping it no matter what, anyway. -

I've never seen a definitive answer to this question. My guess is, CGC does not want to be known as a company that ruins the quality of a book during one of their royally exclusive Signature Series events, so they probably are under some pressure to keep the grade as is. If the only way they will authenticate a signature is through their exclusive events, they should have some standard for quality control - or quality-keeping control.
