Signature event question 1 1

[SpiderParker]

When you submit books to a signature event and the artist price is say $90 per book, does that include grading or is that extra?  Is it different for each event?

 

Use this an an example.  https://www.cgccomics.com/news/article/10920/David-Michelinie-Signing/

$90USD will get you the signature, yellow label slab graded. S&H options are up to you whether you use CGC methods on the way in or your own. Return shipping will be some extra. Always good to submit more books to benefit from that.

If CGC cracks your books from previous slabs I believe adds $5.00 fee. Other than that you're not paying additional slabbing costs above and beyond the price they give you in the Event pricing ;-)

If you do plan on sending some in, just follow the instructions as they indicate how to prepare books and ensure each book has the paper card particular to your book from the slips you print out for the signing along with CGC's copy of the transaction on paper that you'll print. For RAW comics they want the books stacked in order of how they are on the sheet  "order list" as well when you're packing them. Put the artist's initials on each side of the box in this case DM so it's noticeable by the staff that receive the packages from the fedex or USPS people upon receiving it or retrieving your package from their storage area when they get to your stuff.

For the example you provided - the $90 includes his signature, the grading and encapsulation.  Shipping to / from is extra as is CGC/s $5 handling fee.  If you want pressing, that's an $20 extra.  Any other extras will cost... extra (i.e. custom labels, cracking open a slab, etc.).  Hope this helps.

The CGC Private Signing fee for David Michelinie is $90 per item and includes: 

• David Michelinie’s signature
• Estimated turnaround time of six weeks for CGC grading 
• Estimated turnaround time of eight weeks for CGC grading and CCS pressing (an additional $20 fee applies for CCS pressing)  
• Encapsulation with the iconic yellow CGC Signature Series label

Thinking of sending to Michelinie event.  I have a book that was signed and graded for Todd M event.  When submitting for this event, does the book have possibility of being upgraded after another pressing after being alright signed?

There's a remote possibility anytime for your book to go up or down. If your book had minor creases or something it's possible that a press could turn it up a notch. Good luck if you take that route ;-)
