Take a look here or call CGC thenselves.... most likely $32 or $40 depending on how fast you want it. And then there is the shipping back to Canada which can be a real bugger since they only use FEDEX AIR. Then the artist themselves may charge for the signature but that is different per artist.

As of last week CGC did not confirm that they will be attending FanExpo which I thought was pretty strange since it is such a big show. I know I am looking foward to seeing a strong US and Canadian dealer list as well as a CGC booth.

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bruno_s4]

So apparently it's official that CGC will NOT be at FanExpo 2011?

That seems very odd to me what with so many artists attending.

I hope for SS fans that there will at least be a SS witness?

It does amaze me that CGC will avoid the largest such show in Ontario but they came for the Wizard World show. I guess it all comes down to 'who you know'.

 

Has there been a 'big guest' announced yet? I realize the guest list is growing (and great as it is) but traditionally there has been a Stan Lee/William Shatner type person.

[VintageComics]

I believe that CGC has an agreement with Wizard. Still, would be too bad if they did not attend the biggest show in Canada and one of the larger shows in North America.

 

 

[MattAllen]

Not that I know a damn thing but I remember hearing the same thing the last two years, both of which CGC ending up attending. Where did you hear it was official that they're not coming?

An inside person at CGC

[Kevin Boyd]

Interesting. I haven't spoken to Harshen in a while, but it did sound like they wanted to do it the last time we spoke (in March). I wouldn't say they are definitely not coming yet, but they have to book a booth if they do(!).

 

I'm not aware of any current arrangements with WW for them not to come, as that would preclude them from doing shows like NYCC and C2E2 as well... which I don't see happening.

Maybe it’s time for CGC

to begin to think in the first branch

outside USA.

 

Canada is a huge market,

and Toronto a good place

for a central office...[/font]

It will never happen.

Canada is not that huge a market.

I'd say we are about equal to about two US states in total CGC business.

Right. I didn't meant to imply that they don't go to non-Wizard shows, only that it seems that they have some sort of agreement to show up at all Wizard shows...and this I don't know for sure, just speculating.

 

[Buck Biggins]

Wish I could go to this show.

Why can't you?

Was the 'keynote' type guest ever announced?
