Hey everyone, i have a quick question. Im doing/ have done commisions on a blank variant and the paying person wants the book submitted to be graded as a signature series. How would i go about doing that? I have absolutely no idea if i can even have it submitted as a SS but ive heard you can. Do i just send the book in with a note that says "I drew this, Grade it!"

 

Any info will be very much appreciated. Thanks for your time.

The easiest way would be to bring it to a show and hand it to CGC there. If you (as the artist) are mailing the books directly to CGC, there's a 10 book minimum:

The only way to know for sure is to call CGC and ask, but my gut feeling says that if you submitted this book without a sketch, it would end up in a Qualified label slab due to it being a frankenbook.

 

If you sub it for SS, the frankenbookness would then most likely affect the grade, and you'd end up with a CGC 0.5 (or NG) book.

Ok, thanks for the advice. I think thats what the customer was saying it would end up as and was ok with a NG as long as it got labeled as an ASM 300.

You can't solicit books for SS without CGC approval.

 

And how's the market been for you?

 

Oh, wow, i didnt know that. The above post was the only time ive ever asked someone if they wanted a book done for a SS. Should i delete that? Sorry, I've never (ever) dealt with any kind of signature series so this is all new to me. I've just done a few recreations on blanks and the people i did them for are interested in getting them graded now.
