Hi,

I would like to know if I  could bundle books for Walt with other books which I want graded and pressed but NOT signed by Walt. International shipping is quite expensive and it would not make any sense to send two  separate boxes to CGC. I could send  two different boxes inside a bigger box and write WS all over the single comic which I want Walt to sign. Thanks

Seems a good idea.  They're both going to the same place.  Once it gets there they can divert one box one way and one the other.  
Wondering if you ended up doing this.

When I put in my tracking number V0394879202 it says the package has been delivered to CGC but it has yet to show up in submissions. I hope it doesnt miss Walter Simonson's signing because the Signature Series book is packed inside the carton as its an international shipment. Can anyone from CGC tell me its fine please ?

[Rotcod]

It would be nice to know if they've done the signing.  The cutoff date was June 30.  For the Miller/Jansen signing, they posted on Twitter.  Do they always do that?  Anyone have info?
Thanks

[Rotcod]

I actually Tweeted at Walt Simonson.  He didn't know of any signing scheduled. LOL 

Not too surprising if he has managers/handlers and such making his schedule.  But suffice it so say, as of last week, the signing didn't happen yet.

My books show at CCS hopefully they are not pressing then signing.

Books for the Walt and Louise Simonson signing hit received for me on 7/1.  Boxes had to be labeled WS or LS on all sides to be opened in time for the signing. Otherwise, boxes delivered the week of 6/7 are just being opened this week.

So glad that CGC was bought by a billion dollar company.  Their improved communication and turn-around-times has been amazing. /s

CGC posted on their Facebook page yesterday that the signing is done. They have clips of Walt doing remarques.

Is there a way to see these without Facebook?

My first set of books from this signing shipped out yesterday. Just waiting on my Thor 337 remarque to show up in the grading room.

Hmm...wondering if anyone who requested pressing from CCS with their submission received their order?  I had pressing selected and it move from there to status of GEI on 9/14 and has been there since.  Seems awfully longer than past signings.

I would have liked to have Mrs. Simonson's autograph on my HOS 92 but man. I have read all these threads about CGC's poor customer service and delays. Then to read the Simonson's didn't even have an in house signing scheduled? Pass. Then theoretically wait for 6 months or more to get my book back? Pass. I miss the days where I could go to a signing myself and have some control over the process. Pay Neal Adams his $60 and get a nice signature and a hello.

My submission is like yours, I submitted mine for pressing as well.  

Mine went into G.E.I. (Grading/encapsulation,imaging) on 9/23 and like yours has been sitting there since than.

Just out of Curiosity I called C.G.C. last Friday (11/5) and talked to customer service about that.  What they said was my order would ship in "5-7 business days".  At this point that seems very highly unlikely.

I've ordered many Signature services through their program in the past and whenever it went into the the G.E.I. status I could count on at least 2 maybe 3 weeks at the latest to be shipped, now its almost 2 months!  I also have a Roy Thomas signature that's close to the 2 month mark right now that's still in G.E.I. status!!

Just wanted to let you know your not alone!

3 books with just a signature hit G.E.I. on 9/17 and 1 with a sig + Remarque on 9/23... and then nothing. Like the spinning wheel when you're waiting for a page to load. Spinning and spinning and spinning and... And I've seen someone selling a Walt Simonson signature book in the Current sales forum from this signing which makes this doubly frustrating.

My Simonson  remarque book has been stuck at GEI on 09/21 and no updates . I called a month ago and was told it should be any day still not out of GEI, so I guess technically they aren't wrong. 

My books that just had Walt's signature were sent in a week later and were shipped back to me on Sept 20.

Just wanted to give you a quick update on my order.

On Tuesday 11/16 moved from G.E.I. (Grading/encapsulation/imaging) to Grading/ Quality Control.  Than on Wednesday 11/17 I got a shipping notice that its on its way.

Just wanted to let everyone know, I hope everyone's order comes back to them very soon!

So CGC is running about 3 weeks behind on the in-house signings (14 business days in your case). That seems within reason to me.
