Possible but not likely.  Really depends on the size of the package but I've had Priority Boxes take a week from Europe.

Size actually matters?

Im planning on cosplaying (and spending $100's on books too!) but I'm worried the main piece I ordered from etsy won't arrive by Friday. It shipped today out of Italy. Anyone think it's possible for it to make it to Iowa in a week? 

Maybe with Superman's help! Oh, wait, he lives in Kansas, sorry...

Not seeing many Variants for the show.

I'm considering driving down from Michigan for this con and I'm looking for some advice.  I mainly go to cons to buy and have never gotten a signature before but I really want to get Stan Lee to sign my issue of Amazing Spider-man that has a letter I wrote in the letters section.  There are zero SS copies of the book on the census and I know time is running out if I am ever going to get this done.  

I checked their website and while they are selling advance autograph tickets for several other celebrities and comic book guests, they do not have that option for Stan.  All they say is that you can buy an autograph ticket on the day of the show.  I am wondering if anyone has any advice on this?  I won't hold you to it, but what are the odds that I will actually get an autograph ticket at the gate?  Do they sell out in seconds?  Any other tips and tricks would be very appreciated.  THANKS in advance!

Is this something you want to do in person or just want the signature?

Great question. You won't be able to interact at all with Stan, so unless you are keen to see Stan sign the book in person you could always do a mail away signing.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I guess my preference would be to get it signed in person so I can see him actually sign the book.

Right next to where Stan will be signing at C2E2, there'll be a facilitator set up - talk to them before getting in line and they'll make sure the book gets witnessed and is eligible for SS.

Thank you so much.  I'm down for any wait period in line but do you have a best guess as to how long the wait is for Stan?  Is there a better time of day to go?

Ive waited for Stan many times. My best advice is to find out first thing in the morning what time he will be signing (usually 11, 1130 or Noon). I would get in line before then and be one of the first. If you wait until later, the line can get long and it can be an hour or even 2 for a wait. At ECCC, in late afternoon on Saturday, I waited about an hour to hour/half in line for him. THEN, I waited 30-45min for CGC forms to submit my books after the signing. 

If you go early, its also my opinion that his signature is better since his arm is fresh. I also window box my books with a tighter space to force him to focus his attention so his sig isn't messy. Anyway, my 2 cents. Good luck!

(AND if you are submitting your books and the facilitator will let you fill out your form before, snag a form and fill it out while you are in line)

Looks like he is signing Saturday at 12:15 (after his panel with Frank Miller) then again at 2:45. Although I would guess that Saturday would be the busiest times.

GREAT information, thank you so much!!

Driving part way tonight so I can be there early tomorrow.  Can't wait for my 1st big Con of the year.

[manetteska]

The final countdown.

 

 

See some of you there tomorrow.

I'll be wearing this shirt if anyone wants to say hi.

[G.A.tor]

I'm not there

[sirwesker]

Would someone be able to pickup an exclusive hardcover at an artists table and ship it for me? I'd cover all costs plus extra for your time. I'd really appreciate it!

As in, not going to be there?? Or not there yet? Or not there, in a kind of metaphysical sense?

Well, I'll be there, and hope to see you there, G.A.tor!!

Nice! I'll be sporting my Professor Radium "I'm mad!!" shirt. Look for the crazy green guy.
