I agree with injury2eye

You do not have to be a member to submit directly to CGC. I've been sending books directly to CGC from the begining without a membership. I am a free member here & I am a free member of the dealer I use to submit my books directly to CGC and still receive a 10% discount. I personally use comicspriceguide.com. I don't even have to log in. All you have to do is click on the 10% off CGC link and it will take you straight to the submission page. I pack my own books and send them out. I send

WOW!! Looks like majority of people are in love with CGC

I haven't heard alot of people griping about their price hike (just a few). I thought there were going to be more than the 3 that I have read so far. No wonder they are doing what they are doing and getting away with it. Not enough people are speaking out. I can guarantee you they will see less of my hard earned cash.   CGC remember NETFLIX. They lost alot of customers.I've been collecting on and off since I was in Jr. High. Just a couple of years ago I stopped buying comics (again) on a regu

CGC special Stan Lee Signing

What did you submit? I submitted a copy of Amazing Spider-man #129 that I bought from a local comic shop for around $100 (the most I've paid for a comic so far). I waited & waited for the opportunity for it to be signed by Stan and there it was an email by CGC promoting their special signature series with Stan. I could've sent a couple more comics but the Long Beach Comic Con was around the corner plus I wanted to save some money to attend and submit some more books for CGC signature series.

my very first CGC signature series submission is here!!

My first signature series!! good or bad experience? Well, now that I'm alittle bit more knowledged. I now know that if you want it signed be there and witness it for yourself and do not rely on a CGC rep. to handle your book like it was worth something. I will try to describe the signed books. 1st. Amazing Spiderman 606. 9.8 Even though it got a great grade and is signed (9.8). The spot where it as signed is not that great of a place. Can barely see the signature. It's in purple and its betw

my very first CGC signature series submission

I turned in 3 books at the CGC booth at the first ever Long Beach Comic Con. I've been sending my books to CGC now since 2005. My first CGC was at the first ever Wizard World in Long Beach. I have been submitting ever since. Now that a convention has returned to Long Beach I thought I'd give the signature series a try. I did not witness the signing but called and confirmed they were signed. Now what grade did they get? I will find out tomorrow when I give them a call.They were signed by J. Sco

need to organize my collection

Anybody know a good hopefully free software to catalog and help me keep track of my growing collection of Raw & CGC graded comics. Anybody know a good hopefully free software to catalog and help me keep track of my growing collection of Raw & CGC graded comics. Like most of you, I have so much that I don't know what I have anymore. A software that doesn't require a monthly or yearly fee. Any feedback would help. Thanks.
