  1. Newest batch of three (3) Signature Series (Fast Track, no press) listed as RECEIVED on 12/03/2019. Crossing fingers I'll have them back before Christmas.
  2. Welcome to the CGC boards! There is a terrific resource available from fellow collectors in the following thread: Be sure to click to the last page(s) since that data is the most current. We've all had our battles with patience when it comes to our comics, but this thread will tell you whether your expectations are reasonable for stated versus actual turnaround times. There are lots of factors that play into it, especially if you chose to have your book pressed which usually adds considerable time.
  3. Three (3) Signature Series (Fast Track Modern, with press) received back at CGC from CCS on 11/20 now Finalized/Imaged/Shipped 11/25. All three came back 9.8. Can't wait to see them in hand.
  4. Later in the day, changed back to Grading/Quality Control. Crossing fingers I'll get the shipment sent out this week.
  5. Weird. They just changed status from Grading/Quality Control to Scheduled for Grading on the three SS books.
  6. Three (3) Signature Series Received on 11/20/2019 moved to Grading/Quality Control 11/22/2019. Missed the SFG in between.
  7. The batch from 09/25/2019 has now been updated with a new Received date of 11/20/2019. Must have just got them back from CCS. It's almost too much good news in two days' time.
  8. Okay, this was the fastest moving I've ever had. Updated 11/19/2019 to Scheduled for Grading, then Grading/Quality Control same day. Got on just now and listed as Finalized/Imaged/Shipped. (Fast Track Modern SS, no press). Many thanks to @Rich_Henn for his facilitation of this group of comics from Rhode Island Comic Con. Still no movement on that other batch of 3 from 09/25/2019 (Fast Track Modern SS, press)
  9. JTC's doing the first issue of Star Wars: Rise of Kylo Ren and Star Wars: Empire Ascendant, both due out in mid December. Not sure what his plans are for Vol. 5, but as long as we keep buying them, I imagine he'll keep making them. There are so many more on my wish list that he hasn't done yet.
  10. Batch of six (6) Signature Series received 11/14/2019 (Fast Track Modern, no press) now listed Scheduled for Grading 11/19/2019. Still no movement on batch of three (3) Signature Series received 09/25/2019 (Fast Track Modern, press).
  11. Batch of six (6) Signature Series listed as received on 11/14/2019 (Fast Track Modern SS, no press) Still no movement on batch of 3 received 09/25/2019 (Fast Track Modern SS, press)
  12. Thank you very much! Could I bother you to fix the scores? Some of them are 0 or 9 for a 9.8 Signature Series. That seems off. Done. Thanks!
  13. I sent a link to this thread to my Spawn-loving youngest nephew. He's going to love it.
  14. We must be around the same age, because I've used that same expression a million times myself.
  15. The difference for me is I would've been in a barber shop reading those. Nice photo!
  16. CCS just charged my credit card on 10/17/2019 for the press. Still no updates otherwise.
  17. Well, I wish you the best of luck in your new position. Hopefully the team they've hired is being trained by you prior to your departure. I've seen too many times where all the accumulated knowledge, shortcuts and other secrets don't get passed along and the new ones are left to flounder until they figure things out. I'm going to be a bit selfish now and ask for a couple additions to the Star Wars Action Figure Variant Covers set: Star Wars #64 Wonderworld Comics Edition - Cert. # 2504360001 (the regular action figure variant for #64 is already in the set; this is a second cover with same issue number) Star Wars: Age of Republic - Count Dooku #1 - Cert. 2495460064 Star Wars: TIE Fighter #1 - Cert. # 1429636004 Thank you! Set updated.
  18. Two guests, two knock-'em-out-of-the-park announcements. This is already shaping up to be great.
  19. I'll definitely stop by. I had the weirdest convention (for me) there last year. I only did about 2 hours' worth of comic shopping the entire weekend, so please forgive me. I spent most of my time getting commissions, talking (and talking and talking) to creators and having them sign my books, a couple panels. There were long lines for many of them because they took their time and really talked to their fans. Those interactions are priceless to me. The only celebs I saw close up were two voice actors from Red Dead Redemption, and that's only because my nephew's buddy wanted their signatures but didn't want to brave the long lines, so they hit up "good ol' uncle" with the Fast Pass. Last year's con is also the first time I've ever been even the slightest bit embarrassed. I was talking with Jim Starlin for a few minutes as he signed some of my stuff, and when I was done, his female assistant motioned for me to lean in and she whispered, "Your fly is down." Oooops! The embarrassment was probably worse for Jim, being at eye level and all.
  20. Tickets went on sale today (10/8/2019). First guest announced: John Cleese http://planetcomicon.com/
  21. I can only imagine a $50 cheap motel will have the words "Movies! Mirrors!" on the sign and have rooms you can rent by the hour.
  22. Three (3) modern Signature Series (Fast Track w/ press) submitted after this past weekend's Cincinnati Comic Expo: Received 09/25/2019 (super fast thanks to @Par2ch hand delivering them )
  23. Went for some Justice League Dark with a Swamp Thing / Zatanna commission from Ashley Witter at last weekend's Cincinnati Comic Expo .
  24. A little out of character for my normal collection, but this will be a Christmas present for a nephew who loves these guys. Great price. Couldn't pass this one up.
