Prince Namor Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 That's actually a pretty great idea. Habby2324 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post steveinthecity Posted November 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 2, 2020 Please correct me if I’m wrong, but these don’t really give the creator clear direction as to where a sig might be most desirable.

Yeah, it's a "great idea" if you don't care where the sig ends up. Otherwise, not so much. Jeremysitb, Chaz G., AGGIEZ and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big difference, buying these gives CGC money. Buying the others does not. Corners, SuperTom, enigmatech and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are top loaded and there is no adhesive on these anywhere. The window also has a scooped bottom which helps protect the comic when inserting it into the bag.

The window also has a scooped bottom which helps protect the comic when inserting it into the bag. This is the first year of not only getting my old comics slabbed but also doing these signature signing things. Initially I was making my own window bags but I found that I was handling my comics more than I wanted when making the desired window bags. I then discovered those premade blue window bags, which was definitely a stepup but I found that you still have to be pretty careful when slipping both the board and the comic through the side of the bag. Now seeing that you can have a premade window bag with putting board and comings from the top again peaks my interest..... but it will be awhile before I send any more comics down for signatures.

celluloidbuff Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 The demo video showed bagged/boarded books being inserted. To actually use, do the books get inserted raw with a few backer boards? Also, do these get returned with your graded books to reuse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGC does not return any materials sent in by the customer. Good question! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obsidian00 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I love the concept...I just think the signature windows for the bags are a bit on the small side which limits the creators options. Even the examples they used in the video shows signatures that are outside of that signing window. To achieve that, the artist would have to remove the book from the bag which defeats their purpose. Now bags that had perforated knockouts for the top middle and bottom that would give the customer a bit more control would be more ideal. I know there are additional costs for that but just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ares Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 (edited) the funny part is in the images use to promote the service parts of the signature are under the yellow Edited November 5, 2020 by Ares djzombi, obsidian00 and Chaz G. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
