Maybe we could arrange a quick meet up with all board members who are there? Including welcoming @Terry JSA who is showing up for the first time?

My GF was bringing a book to get graded, thinking she could get it done within the convention's 3 day period. Thanks for any info on this. Hi. This (see link) is what CGC posted on Baltimore a couple of weeks ago. I imagine if they were doing on site grading, that would have been highlighted there. Backlogging and turn arounds, on the home front, are probably preventing doing any on site grading for now https://www.cgccomics.com/news/article/10729/baltimore-comic-con/ lordbyroncomics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otter1775 Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Good afternoon fellow collectors. This will be my first con, since SDCC 97. I’m curious as how to ascertain CGC witnesses for books I’d like to get signed? Any guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

You stop by the cgc booth and tell them you need a witness. They will probably put you in a line and you wait for a witness to help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FanBoyOfMarve'nDC Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 On 10/19/2022 at 10:55 PM, comicstock said: Does CGC get so many submissions at a show like this that they have to stop taking books at a show? I was thinking of taking the 7 hour drive up to Baltimore but I want to be sure they'll take my stuff via Express Dropoff... That happens with on-site grading cons, as they can only grade so many books before the show ends. Even than, I subbed books on a Sunday and they were accepted- just were taken back to FL for grading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FanBoyOfMarve'nDC Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) Anyone know if Garth Ennis will be staying for all 3 days? I've got a bunch of books for him for CGC SS subs, and would rather go to the show on Saturday or Sunday as that'd give me more time to press other additional books for submission for blue labels. But the last thing I want to do is get there Sunday morning and Ennis is long gone. Edited October 24, 2022 by FanBoyOfMarve'nDC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the guest list, they take your worry into account and specify when a guest is only there Fri-Sat only. Baltimore is really great about that. ttfitz and FanBoyOfMarve'nDC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOWEVER - if you do come on Sunday to see someone in particular, I'd be sure to get there early. Some folks are there all 3 days but leave before the end of the show. The line for Ennis last year (with attendance down due to Covid) got pretty long at times, too (I actually showed up once before his actual signing time and the line was already closed). jimjum12 and FanBoyOfMarve'nDC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocHoppus182 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 (edited) Is there any type of meetup during or after the show? I’d like to say hello, even if just for a minute or two. I’m a big guy, have an X tattooed on the side of my head and a giant beard. If you see me, come say hey!
