P0TAT0ES Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I quickly skimmed the forum looking for info on this signing event but didn’t see a recent thread so forgive me if this has been asked recently but is anyone else waiting on books From the Kevin Eastman / Ben Bishop signing? The CGC site is pretty cryptic about the dates to expect my books signed and I haven’t had any status updates since “RECEIVED” on Jan. 7th. I believe they bumped the cutoff to FEB 15th but still wondering what a feasible turnaround for this submission will be. Have they been signed? Will it update to scheduled for grading eventually? Sorry I’ve had a few books graded but this is my first signature series. I’m a pretty patient dude but also get ansy when I have high value books floating around in limbo out there. Any information is greatly appreciated. Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revat Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 As some have stated, Cgc doesn’t update their customers or update their website as consistently as possible in every case. for the OP or anyone else with similar questions about signings, it will probably have some value to check social media of Cgc and the creators. Also, Cgc has paid customer service reps that won’t get mad if you call or email. ADAMANTIUM, P0TAT0ES and Chaz G. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhymenoceros Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Just got an email from CGC stating there were so many books that Eastman did not even have time to sign them all... so they are taking books to him in 3-4 weeks to finish it up. : "Kevin Eastman Signing - There was an INCREDIBLE number of books submitted for Mr. Eastman -- so many so, he did not have enough time to sign them all, so we are bringing the books to him so they can be completed in roughly 3-4 weeks. " I'm sure with my luck my books are part of the delayed batch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan. Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Looks like I won't be seeing my submissions for at least two more months. greggy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had mine delivered to cgc, one in dec and one in Jan You'd think since it was pushed back to March, that these would be first in first out and have been signed idk I tried calling, thinking it's been a week since the signing, and that maybe I could confirm if they had been signed. It was all kind of vague, other than the rep said, nothing was showing up on their end that it "had been signed but they are all still processing" I tried to ask when? to justify any call back, but looks as though, I just need to wait to see if my received date updates after expected TAT for pressing but this doesn't say much but oye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Eaton Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I have five books for this signing as well as clean/pressing then grading. My status simply shows RECEIVED as of 1/28/21. Does anyone else who is waiting for books have a different status than RECEIVED? I am a patient man, but would love greater clarity about the remaining turnaround time and whether steps will be taken to expedite any of the books that had to be taken to Kevin.

I think they might of underestimate how many books were going to be sketched ..the other signings have been either really expensive or just no sketching at all . As far as first in , I didn’t know about that part ..but it would make sense this stack is first . Flip side is my normal cgc books have been sitting for almost 3 weeks with no movement ..I know they just sent the email , I understand the delays there.

rexinnih Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Mine were received 1/6 but also have pressing in the mix. Hopefully were part of the signed group but can be patient for a few more weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngh81 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 (edited) I sent in 2 books for Eastman the week before the cutoff, one magazine sized and one standard sized. Both to be pressed. The magazine currently shows a status of “grading / quality control”. The standard sized has a status of “received”. CGC may have split them up due to them being different sized books.

Kchung Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 mine was received 12/4 no pressing... and still shows received. doesn't look like first in first out is happening for this big signing. not in a rush anyways so just have to wait and see.

Ryan. Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 My guess is that any books that were to be signed by just Ben or both Kevin/Ben were done while both guys were there, and the ones that were to be signed by just Kevin will be sent to his house.

His house? I have 2 books and one magazine submitted in December. Will we get a special signed in Eastman's house pedigree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
