It’s dependent on the book and the grade of the book. And to a lesser extent the look and placement of the signature. if you want, you can do a bit of research comparing eBay sold prices for signed and unsigned copies in the same grade. Get as many data points as you need what he was charging means largely nothing at this point

I'm not sure what other option there would be than contacting the company and letting them know your address changed. Maybe there are other options, I don't know. Regardless, I think one would have to contact customer service at some point. CGC has a company website. You can go there and look for the contact info for customer service. Like many businesses, CGC customer service has telephones and email. You might even be able to find them on social media if that is more your speed. Good luck.

It depends, but yah the grade matters generally. Especially if comics are newer. so if it doesn’t matter to you, then you’re in luck

good advice take the books you have, and research yourself which auction does better on similar books, and of course factor commissions and fees. Also consider Mycomicshop, which might be pretty good for some books.

Assuming 9.8 CGC SS with both signatures exist, probably 3x to 5x the price for the 9.8 version. (also assumes no 10.0 exists)

I think you could pay for a press for this and the defect would probably press out, leaving an ok chance at a 9.8 if this is the only flaw. As for the rest of your questions, lay out specifics and use complete sentences, and provide information to make it easy for other people to give you help. If you want to buy a book for a signing, do it if it makes sense for you. Plenty of people buy graded and/or ungraded books in preparation for a signing. Nobody knows your situation or preferences but you, and every book and situation is different. Good luck.

I was more alluding to the fact that he didn’t go to anyone’s home/property and steal comics. Or make tangible, criminal threats of physical harm that would be viable in court. I’m not sure internet rants would rise to the level. At least to my limited knowledge. It seems like all books were voluntary physically given to him. these are factors that would often more likely lead to incarceration, or longer terms of incarceration. Of course it also depends on the jurisdiction and judge/jury/lawyers and the situation at large. I just wouldn’t get my hopes up about significant jail/prison time.

I hope everything goes right going forward for the victims, and that suspect faces justice with harsh punishment… but I wouldn’t get my hopes up about a lot of jail time. Nothing was taken by force or physically stolen, and the defendant doesn’t seem to have committed or threatened any violence.

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.

Shirts v skins

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.

some of you guys need to start making clever ticktoks and instagrams like they do with sneakers and pokemon/sports cards. Get the youths to see comics that way.

Every jurisdiction is different, but this sounds about right. In many cases the local police are more concerned with things that involve danger or destruction. It seems like with this specific situation, all money and comics were willingly handed to the company, and that agreed upon services were not provided. Obviously with all the facts presented here it appears to be lean nefariously into the realm of criminal, but as was stated, many police would dismiss this as a civil issue, especially if they were understaffed (or just lazy). I know there are other agencies to contact that have already been contacted, like Oregon DOJ, or USPS, or the FBI/DOJ, local PD, but one could also consider contacting the local District Attorney's Office. I know that for the county I live in (not in Oregon), many fraud cases are referred by local PD to the District Attorney's Office, who have their own staff of sworn police investigators. Again, I have no idea if that applies in the Oregon county in question, but for those gung ho folks who want to examine more options, that may be another one to examine. The other benefit of this is that the DA's office might be more aware of the other crimes some related parties may have committed, and be able to connect dots better on a larger scale (or help them solve/pursue other related cases), or possibly help out if some of these comics show up as evidence in other cases.
