What's happened to Joe and Paul?

 

I have not seen an official CGC response in this thread posted in quite a while.

Just drop the book off , when its ready go to the CGC booth to get an employee , and pick it up

 

Thank you.

This will be the first book I have attempted to have sketched and the first to get graded...has anyone who has done this previously know if artists mind you leaving your comic on their table while you go to grab someone to get it?

I am not the type of person that would put anyone out in any way. Hopefully there will be other people there doing the same and I won't feel like the only one.

Just make sure you ask the artist if it is ok to have CGC witness and slab the book. Some of them would prefer that you don't do it. In my experience I have yet to run across an artist that wouldn't let you do this.

OK, I have a cgc 9.8. I take it to a con, and you guys crack it out and witness the signature. Will it get the same grade?

Has anyone just signed the inner well? Would that be a SS label?

[shortstack comics]

If I sub books on-site at a con for SS for two signatures and only one of the signatures gets done, does CGC hold the books until another opportunity for the second sig, or grade with the one?

If you ask question regarding Signature Series in the woods and neither Paul nor Joe is there to answer it, have you really asked a question?

I remember I used to field a question or two in this thread and some reps at CGC said that only CGC employees should answer the questions. I've since been a silent observer here.

Why don't you do a little bit of research yourself & see if you can figure out the answer?

It depends what tier they are. Prices are on CGC's main page. Modern's start at $27

 

Con Guide Question- Call them and ask. 1-877-662-6642. "Yes hi I have so and so con guide from SDCC it is this size.....will you grade it?"

 

Steps before show- Prep your books- there is a thread in the Sig room that shows you how to do that.

 

Then go to the show, drop the books off to CGC.

 

Good Luck,

Sean

Oh so I don't actually get to see my books getting signed I just give them to cgc ?.. See I've got books graded before but am clueless about ss because I have never done it

 

 

[NYComics]

And if you are not lucky and a CGC witness is not next to you in line then you are

 

If you want to get the book's signed yourself try to arrange with CGC so that a CAW can assist you at the show for a brief period of time.

I gather they sign with sharpies can you state which color sharpie you want used on certain books ?... For most I generally use metallic silver for my own stuff

 

I am checking out the first post now man I got lot of reading to do!

[TSwift25]

What are the rules regarding an existing SS (in holder) adding a signature?

 

Thanks for the help (in advance)!

Is it true you can have someone trace over a sig on a raw book & then the book counts as a SS ?..
