LudaToke Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I had mine signed up for a press so some of them are making their way through. Fingers crossed you see movement soon. wiparker824 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rexinnih Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Got mine back finally. Happy with the X-Men 1 (9.8) but bummed the X-Men 4 went from CGC 9.6 to 9.2 with "light stain on top of back cover." First time I've had a slabbed book come back lower after pressing. topedaddy, Kerdese and LudaToke 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I clean, press etc.... before sending them out. This one came back a 9.4, with NO grader comments! Will be asking CGC what they were shortly. Glad that tactic worked for you so far, but it would be optimal is the pressing was done after someone handled your comic and sketched on it then passed it back to people. I'm surprised they all came back 9.8 before. And CGC doesn't give grader notes at 9.4 level, so asking them wont change anything. They don't exist.

Realize we sign the waiver when submitting but I'll get over it. I've benefitted from good bumps in CCS pressing so just one set back is expected.

wiparker824 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 My book (CCS Pressing + Jim Lee sig only) that's been in GEI for weeks has now made it to Grading/QC... so that's something. LudaToke and rexinnih 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine shipped today, not going to complain with the 9.8 but it did seem odd to me as it states mine was “signed by Jim Lee on 12/4” and all the images you all have been posting have been signed in early November… guess they had multiple signing dates? bobotski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks to be the case. Mine was a November 1, 2021 signing so that is why it is already back. I have had that happen with other Signature Series events (the signing is broken up into more than one day). What are you waiting to get back? Signature? Remarque? Sketch? Just curious and like seeing what everyone else got back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooray! Mine finally shipped as well! Says it was signed on 11/1. It was a single book with just Jim’s signature. X-Men from the early 90’s and Jim Lee are what really got me into comics as a kid, so getting my X-Men #1 is a childhood dream come true for me. It’s one of those nostalgia pieces in my personal collection that might not be worth a ton of money, but it’s one I’ll probably never let go of. Side note: If you haven’t had the opportunity yet, pick up Jim Lee’s X-Men Artist’s Edition published by IDW. It’s insane. LudaToke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the “deluxe” cover (the one with the double gatefold with all the variant art). I babied that thing when I was kid thinking it was something ultra special and ultra rare. Little did I know how many millions and millions of copies it actually sold 😂. Otter1775 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerdese Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 One more week and my Jim Lee/Scott Williams SS will hit two months since "grading/quality control". I did not expect this one book to be out 6 months. ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jomayn333 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Finally have a shipped notification on my submission. Sent in two copies of Batman 608 (2nd print) for triple signature. I had both pressed. One is marked as 9.4 white, the other 9.6 white. No grader notes. Once I get them, I'll look them over.

Fills up the cover; not some puny drawing. And the sig pops in red. That's worth every penny. Now, is this a sketch or marque? I'm not clear on what the difference is.
