No, this isn't what we're talking about at all. As for your last sentence, to whom are you referring as it being "their right"? The creator to charge, or the criticizer to criticize...?

Hey, aren't you a facilitator who encourages creators to "charge extra" for CGC...? 

It is the “right” of the creator to charge IF that is what they choose to do.

As for are we a facilitator who “encourages” creators to “charge extra” for CGC? The answer is we “RESPECT” the creator’s rights and decision to want to charge a fee. It is THEIR right and THEIR decision to charge a fee. We don’t encourage or discourage it. We simple RESPECT it. We make nothing more from a creator who chooses to charge a fee, we simply pass the same charge onto the customer.

Just as it is YOUR right to choose NOT to pay the fee and to walk away from getting you items signed. And we RESPECT that right as well.

What you DON’T have a right to do, is LIE to a creator when he asks you the question if the book he is signing will be graded or not. It is because of actions like that, that has caused creators to do what they do, such as using specific facilitators or handlers to PROTECT them.

JUST SAY NO to two-tiered, discriminatory pricing.

JUST SAY NO to "oh, there's raw pricing, and CGC pricing" FOR THE EXACT SAME ACTION...signing a comic.

JUST SAY NO to people asking you what you plan on doing WITH YOUR OWN PROPERTY, when it's none of their damn business in the first place.

And yes, I'm just as much of an addict as the rest of you. I paid Claremont his extortion fee, I mean, his "CGC upcharge"....$3,000...at the NYCC, when he would have signed the exact same number of comics, in the exact same way, if someone said they WEREN'T "CGCing" them, for $1500. Yes, I paid it. Yes, Chris Claremont discriminated against me.

But at least I got to deal with Claremont MYSELF.

Creators can charge whatever they want...if Neal Adams wants $10,000 for his signature, more power to him. But if he's charging a DIFFERENT PRICE for the EXACT SAME SERVICE, based on what he thinks you *might* be doing with YOUR OWN PROPERTY...that's discrimination, and ought not be tolerated.

This is the first I have heard of facilitators asking customers what they will be doing with their books?? Unless you are referring to facilitators asking a customer if they are grading their book, then the facilitator, especially one who manages/handles a creator needs to make sure a creator's wishes are respected and observed. As for criticizing a creator for charging a higher fee for books to be graded, that is their right.

Is this still open? 

Would he sketch / remark on a WWBN 32?

It is closing this week. So get your payment and book in immediately. The remark is the same price as a head sketch.

I just bought the "Rise of the Black Panther" from here as well. I can't find anything online about this, and even the website certifying the signature is difficult to track down. 

 

It also appears as though the price fluctuates as I was charged $250. I'm pretty disappointed in myself, I should have known better.

Thank you for your help ExNihilo, I've contacted Excelsior and will update the thread if I receive a response.

I can't even find any information regarding the "Rise of the Black Panther Marvel 1 Variant edition" so this is looking less and less legitimate.

Looking to add Romita Sr to an already CGC SS book...How long from when we signing happens will they be sent to CGC? Just looking at estimated turn around times...Thanks!

If the book is not on a invoice waiting for any other creator. Then the book usually is submitted within a week or two depending on our travel schedule.

Assuming Romita Sr...correct?

yes

Excelsior does not have anything to do with this nor would they know anything.

Can books submitted for David Michelinie be held for Todd or is the time between events too long? Thanks 

Yes books can be submitted to be signed by BOTH Todd and David.
