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

i.e. HIS WIFE

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

Yeah, you could have just stopped here.

Tell that to the many, many people who've complained about getting a lower grade after submitting for SS.

Have you? Or are you just being lazy?

I could send  two different boxes inside a bigger box 

 

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’m feeling like submitting this for the Simonson signing would be a mistake.

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.

Any idea approximately how long your book sat in the "Grading/Quality Control" stage? 

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.

Got my book back. Now triple signed and with Miller and Jansen remarques.

So cool.

What did you hope/expect the number of 9.8’s to be?

 

 

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!

According to twitter the Miller/Janson signing occurred this weekend. 

Can you link to this?  Thanks

 No one will take more time and better precaution than you, bar none. 

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.

Any updates on this signing? When did it happen? My status for the books I submitted still only says received. 

I called them about a week ago and Miller and Janson have yet to be scheduled to come in to do their signings.  That's all I know.  I wish I knew more, as well.
