At least you dont have to go through Desertwind for Stan SS anymore.

Suck it dork. Like Tranny said, most non-insiders don't know about this important fact.

No but at least I know, twerp.

[Gsims718]

Maybe if you would have told the art rep you were a true collector, and the 25 copies you were getting CGC SS'd were for your grand kids, he would have worked with you. Noob.

 

If you have a problem with people selling comics for a profit you came to the wrong place chump.

 

And if you're so thin-skinned that you get butt-hurt about missing out on SS chances when the info was in the SS forum weeks in advance, you're in the wrong place. Chump. (thumbs u

 

 

 

 

Well linguini backed off, but he's still going strong.

 

I couldn't afford the hobby if I didn't flip books. My post was just to give linguini a hard time.

I've only gone through NYcomics for their masters signing anyways. Always heard desertwind ran the show at cons. No longer the case?

No, you buy tickets from Stan's manager, Max at their Stan Lee collectibles booth and as long as a CAW witnesses the sig, it's good for SS.

 

I only knew because I was acting as a personal CAW during the show.

[joecgcmaniac]

One problem we saw at the CGC booth was that we were mistakenly informed that there'd be an Adlard signing Thursday evening which would eligible for SS. We'd given out this information to a bunch of people before Adlard's rep informed us that no SS would be allowed for that particular signing.

 

I really hope this isn't the model he's going to adopt for future shows - it's one thing to limit SS for a specific creator to private signings throughout the show; this is what CGC is now doing with Kirkman and it worked great at NYCC. It got the dealers out of the public signing lines, and allowed Joe Schmoe who didn't want to wait 3 hours in line an easy way to get a couple of books signed. It's a win all around.

 

But ... telling people that you won't sign a single thing for SS during the entire show because you want to make sure you have time for the "real" fans is lame & disrespectful. Particularly when any regular convention goer (eg. somebody who's not a member of this board) would have had no way of knowing that that was going to be the case.

 

Why were you surprised?

 

You obviously read EvilAsh's thread, you were the first one to post a response. It specifically said that he would not be doing any other SS signings at the show.

I love it when greggy is being helpful.

This really isn't common knowledge yet.

 

People still don't know Truman won?

I had to edit it because I said it wrong

Surprised about what?

 

CGC was told that there'd be a SS eligible signing Thursday evening - which they relayed to customers coming up the booth. It turned out to not be the case.

 

It's got nothing to do with EvilAsh's thread :shrug:

This quote from the thread seemed to be pretty clear in the fact that there weren't going to be ANY other SS eligible signings. Since you saw the thread, I wouldn't think you would have been surprised by the fact that there weren't going to be anymore SS signings.

 

**This will be the ONLY way to get Charlie Adlard SS at NYCC 13**

Due to his convention schedule Charlie has asked that all SS for NYCC is handled at a pre-arranged private signing. This will allow Charlie to spend time with fans at the show and get all our SS needs handled in a controlled environment. This signing will be held off site before the convention.

 

CGC will not certify any signatures by Charlie unless they get done during this private signing. This signing is in coordination with and on behalf of Hero Initiative. Neither Hero Initiative nor Skybound will be submitting any Charlie Adlard SS books independently of our signing. As per Charlie's request we will be doing one signing before the show starts for SS.

I don't know how much clearer I can be - CGC was informed that the Thursday night signing would be eligible for SS. It was even printed on the SS cheat-sheets CGC brought with them to NYCC and handed out to their customers.

 

EvilAsh isn't Adlard's art rep - he's not the one who set up the rules for Adlard's signings at NYCC.

Fingh is legend.

 

My friend conducted an interview with Peter David at NYCC and a variety of topics came up. During the course of the interview, PD mentioned a children's book that he had written. After the interview my friend bought a copy and asked if he would be willing to sign it. PD asked if he should inscribe it, "To eBay"

 

As my friend was packing up his recording gear, I hung back and asked PD on his thoughts on the CGC SS and people making money off of his signature.

 

Long story short, he replied that if someone buys his books to have him sign them and makes money off of them, then they will come back and buy more of his books, keeping everyone happy.
