  1. Hi - I have a PGX graded book I'd like to submit for the Milgrom signing. Do I have to crack it out of the slab and prep it first or can I send it as it?
  2. Ok thanks. This would be for torpedo con in LA for the Jim lee signing. They have cgc listed as a vendor, but they might not count as a “con”. Jim Lee will be there, but I want Scott’s sig on a few too. So I want to submit those books to cgc there, and bring a few different ones for Jim to sign at the con. That’s the masterplan anyway.
  3. HI, Can I submit my comics for a private signing at a local con? Thanks!
  4. Yeah, that seems to be consensus. Some folks can be insistent though! I appreciate the insight.
  5. Hi Jennifer, Thanks for the reply, I appreciate your insight. One quick follow-up if its alright: When you say "certain kinds of cleaning", could that ever include just a standard dry cleaning (no chemicals or solvents)? Like, if it were badly done or done excessively, to the point the grader could easily detect it. Could that be considered restoration, if not conservation?
  6. Im not worried. I just want to know. Its come up in discussion on other forums and I'm just trying to get a straight answer one way or the other. I did ask CGC too so maybe I will get my answer.
  7. It can though. Poorly executed cleaning can leave eraser scuff, scuffed staples, obviously missed areas of the book. Those things can affect the grade obviously, but can they lead to a conserved or restored label is basically my question.
  8. Hi, This question came up in a comic book cleaning group I'm in: are there any circumstances where a completely chemical-free cleaning can lead to a conserved grade? There is some conflicting thought on this. It would be great to get to the bottom of it.
  9. If a comic is dry cleaned to the point it causes certain inconsistencies between the appearance of the cover of the book and the appearance of the comic, could that cause a conserved or restored grade? This is the book in question. Could a chemical-free cleaning have caused this?
  10. I purchased a couple slabs from comiquero and they arrived quickly and without incident. I would recommend this seller. Thanks again comiquero!
  11. CGC doesnt grade progs at the moment. They do grade reprints in standard comic format (the old Eagle comics reissues for example) but not the original progs. That could change though. About a year ago CGC opened an office in the UK, so hopefully that translates to them looking for local market opportunities and grading 2000AD would be good one, even though I could also see why it would be complicated comic to grade and slab. I think if they can find a way to make money doing it, they will. But that's just my speculation at the moment. Anyway, if that does happen, we'll both be happy we got our collections when these were affordable and easy to find!
