  1. I sent 2 books to CGC via UPS for George Perez’s signature on JAN 27th.

    JLA/Avengers #3

    Avengers/JLA #4

    Interstate shipping wasn’t even necessary. It was from Jacksonville, Florida to Sarasota, Florida. I anticipated and the Manager at the local UPS agreed that the package would be delivered the next day. I didn’t expect a problem meeting CGC’s January 31st deadline.

    As of today, nothing and the UPS Manager opened an “investigation” on my behalf because the last known location of the shipment was on Friday, January 28th at the UPS processing facility in Sarasota.

    The local UPS Manager has been very helpful and kind but I’m sick about it. At this point, I just hope that UPS recovers the books undamaged. I’m very sad that even if UPS recovers the books, CGC will just say, “too bad it’s too late.” It’s terrible because of the unfortunate circumstances and special nature of George Perez’s in-house signing.

    I suspect theft. CGC should really consider an alias name and address for receiving shipments. CGC’s name and the artist’s initials on the box are a dead give away to anyone in the know that the contents are comics for signature/grading.

    I wonder if CGC will accept the books if UPS pulls a miracle and find them? If not, will CGC refund or credit my $202?

    If I ever do this again, I’m driving the 3 to 4 hours to Sarasota and delivering the books myself.

    The George Perez aspect is really bothering me. The news of his health was so sad, I grew up admiring his work, and I was in awe at how cool he is to say that he wanted this opportunity to connect with his fans.

    Totally down today.
