Most of these decisions are soooooo subjective. Just make sure you’re working with the best possible facts and assumptions. if it’s true junk you can Craigslist it super cheap like $10 per long box just to get rid of it and save you the space or drive to goodwill

As a general rule, the first thing I do when trying to figure out a signature is to look on eBay for cgc ss comics signed by the people on the front of the comic (if they are shown), and see if any of them match up with the signature I have.

Well CGC has graded millions of books. So I guess the answer is yes, they haven't handled every transaction perfectly from start to finish. Unlike other companies that have handled millions of transactions exactly perfect in every single possible instance. Hope that helps answer the question.

as it appears to be hand painted, there may be some benefit to posting about the general geographical location as it may be a local artist. Additionally, if you are capable, you might be able to ask an AI program to identify the signature.

I hate it when restaurants charge me more than the actual cost of the food ingredients. It’s unfair, a shameless money grab that being said, get the terms straight beforehand

Also, if you wait for the big sales, 50-60% off from MHC and you know in advance that the grading will be suspect, you can still fill large runs/collection holes at average prices or catch deals on comics that have blown up but prices haven't updated yet (if the timing matches). As stated, probably not sustainable for a new business, but they can make up for it with volume now since they're already established

I'd say if you have an opinion about CGC policy, you should probably contact CGC directly. Other than that, if you aren't declaring a postal insurance value on your high value items, good luck to you.

Just contact cgc customer service directly to make sure you get every aspect right. sometimes policies and processes change, and may be looking for different things for each pedigree/collection. you can check the cgc website for cgc contact info good luck.

It’s pretty subjective Does it add value to the user equal to or above the extra cost of the label do I’d lean yes in this case, for me persona ally

CGC does not do authentications of signatures not witnessed by CGC. SO DO NOT SEND IT IN NOW. HOWEVER, they will start doing so soon. I'd wait for press releases to come out, and then contact CGC customer service about the entire process. It will be a new process, lots of chances for things to go wrong. So I personally would keep in contact with CGC customer service to minimize the chance of mistake/error/delay/damage/loss.

The TMNT stuff? I guess the movie didn't come out til 1990. Up to you if you include or not. There's the Dune comics, the Willow comics - Marvel Big Trouble in Little China comics that came in 2014 from Boom. Whatever the first appearance of Conan the Barbarian (and friends) is.

This might help, but to really get traction you might need a local victim. But certainly worthwhile as a consideration.

It would be easier for folks to help you if you provide screenshots, but CGC is not perfect and definitely their user interface isn't perfect, and can vary based on the device and internet browser you use. So this might be a better question to ask CGC customer service directly good luck. they have a website with customer service contact info.
