Excellent. Thank you Jennifer.

One is Modern and one is Standard. Checked their tracking numbers in the search field on the CGCComics.com page and both are confirmed to have arrived. Let me know what you can find out as they still haven’t been entered into the system yet. I’ll send an email to the address you mentioned as well. Thanks!

This is the message that’s currently on the CGC Submission Fee page: “Now opening comic book packages delivered the week of February 21, 2022.” Last Friday it said: “Now opening comic book packages delivered the week of February 7, 2022.” I have a two FedEx tracked packages that arrived on 2/10/22 that still aren’t in the system. Does it take a few days for them to show up or should I be worried that they haven’t been entered? Thanks!

Hello, sometime in the future I’m looking to submit a book called Bone Coda and I’m unsure if it will receive a Qualified label or not. It was released in 2016 for the 25th anniversary of Bone and is a half comic book/half historical essay. It’s 9 by 6.5 inches and a little more than a quarter inch thick (not sure if this would be considered a magazine or not, as it was produced in prestige format). The copy I’d like to submit has a paper bookplate that was attached to the first page and includes Jeff Smith’s signature & a written number before a printed “500”. These were given out at the 2016 San Diego Comic Con when the book was first made available. I’m guessing this will be Qualified but I’m not sure since the attached bookplate is not visible. Will it indeed get a green label or a blue label with a notation? Would I submit it as a magazine or a modern comic? Thanks!

From the latest Frank Miller signing. Full story found here.

I have the Ross cover signed by Jeff in 9.8 and one signed by Alex in 9.6. Hopefully, a Ross opportunity will come up soon so I can complete the 9.8 set. The book above was from a slab I bought in the Jolly Comics ComicLink auction back in 2017. I’m not sure if I posted the Vess book in this thread but here it is again. Was a raw copy of mine signed by Jeff and Charles at the 2014 Heroes Con.

It's been a LONG time since I last posted a book of mine to this thread but I think I've got one that's worth the effort. Back in August of 2000, Jeff Smith published a "regular series" Bone book for the first time in a year. He took the time off to both work on the various spin-off series (Stupid Stupid Rat Tails & Rose) as well as plan out the third and final act of the Bone saga. For the first and only time, he had three guest creators collaborate on three different covers for issue #38: Charles Vess, Alex Ross, and Frank Miller. It's my plan to have each of these covers signed by Jeff and the guest artist in 9.8 and now I have two of three thanks to the latest Frank Miller opportunity:

A little off topic but I don’t think everything he mentioned is true. Has CGC ever guaranteed a slab would retain its grade thru a signing? Certainly sounds incorrect to me

My understanding of the subject line of this thread is that a book needs to be the only SS on the census for a particular issue OR the SS book with the single highest grade. There is no way to know from the census which books have what signatures and, as far as I know, CGC has NEVER guaranteed that a book will maintain its previous grade after a signing. What you say about the last book you posted could be true but it also doesn’t belong on this thread. There are currently 11 Signature Series books of this issue (Justice League Adventures #1 from 01/02) with the grade of 9.8.

Skipped Grading/Quality Control and went to Shipped today. Both were slabbed 9.8s and stayed that way. Thanks to the CGC signing crew!

Exactly. It was previously pressed more than a decade ago and didn’t think it needed it

On a submission that recently shipped, I got the following notes on a 9.6 that wasn’t pressed: very light bends to cover, very light rippling to cover. It’s scheduled to be in my hands on 3/1, but without looking at the book, these sound like pressable defects, do they not? Haven’t submitted a book that’s on the 9.6/9.8 border in a while and wondering what you guys think of the text the graders used (was a Walkthru). Thanks!

Mine went to GEI today

7.5 is probably the max with the sizable crease on the bottom left corner of the back cover and the color-breaking dent among the eyeballs on the left side of the front cover. Still a nice copy

Are you referring to Gold, Silver, and Bronze collectors when you say “they” ignore Signature Series books when counting the best copies of a particular issue? Perhaps I have the wrong impression but SS books are very much a part of the conversation when it comes to the top Copper and Modern copies of key issues. Admittedly, I only know Cerebus from the various threads on these boards but I imagine its collectors include Signature Series books among the best in the census.

Hello, please take a look at the score for Bone #11. The primary problem with this series is that so few come up for auction but this issue has seen at least four sales in the last year for 9.8s: 4/11/21 for $295 shipped, 9/26/21 for $109, 10/10/21 for $156, and 1/16/22 for $288. Current 9.8 score is 44 so I think this needs to go up a bit. Thanks! Score adjusted 2/21/22

I’m not going to post links as it will inevitably get this thread locked for politics. All you need to do is Google “Maus” and “ban”. The word “ban” makes everyone lose their minds apparently which I think was the intent. That word should not have been used in this context.

I would think so too but the parents in this one school district don’t agree. It’s their decision for their own kids in a single classroom, which doesn’t fit the media narrative of a massive conspiracy to erase the Holocaust in the south.

This whole story has been sensationalized. The book wasn’t banned, it’s simply being replaced in a lone subject’s curriculum (8th grade language arts). In fact, it may not be replaced at all if the school district can’t find a better alternative. The good part about this is that more Maus books are being sold which is never a bad thing.

Are those photocopies of the Thorn book? I’ve never seen one in real life, only images.

I have no idea what’s going on here. Have a nice life.

But they haven’t been signed yet.

Just received a reply from CGC and they said the signing has not occurred yet. Perhaps they mistakenly put the “Scheduled for Grading” designation on my submission because it obviously doesn’t make sense

So they’ve gotten rid of the “received” status? He could be coming in a second time if they had an overflow of late submissions I just checked the last Miller signing thread and most people had the “received” designation before they were actually signed. I don’t know…

I sent in a couple books and my submission currently says “Scheduled For Grading”. Does this mean they were signed? Don’t remember from past signing events.
