  1. Why did they say they couldn't press 6 of them?
  2. You’re in good hands. If my knee is better by then I’ll also be there to use their services.
  3. I guess all of us need some luck. Here’s the SM 1 I sent in.
  4. Mine just checked in for McFarlane also. I thought I figured out a way around all of you suckers. I sent my McFarlane books in with a Jae Lee submission just before the cut-off date for JL, but the Jae Lee's checked in first about 2 weeks earlier than the McFarlane's.
  5. I don't like comics with significant defects or restored comics, as many others don't. We all know the yellow label is still on these and there is a witnessed signature and that signature is good. When people say "true yellow" they are referring to the 95% of the green/yellow labels that have "name written on cover" and that makes it look ridiculous. Collect what you want, there are a lot of "cheap" qualified/ss labels out there for you to buy if you don't have a problem with it.
  6. Our community doesn’t have to do anything. I agree that this would not be a “true” yellow label and would not want it in my collection, but I would like a Spawn 1 yellow label.
  7. It is worth the risk, as long as you are happy to get back a lower grade.
  8. My favorite for the 30centers is https://recalledcomics.com/Marvel30CentVariants.php
  9. They can be submitted, but they will not get yellow ss label. You will get a green qualified and maybe get “Stan Lee written on cover”, but you may also get “name written on cover”.
  10. Not worth it. You will get a lower grade, the signature will be poorly placed and illegible, label will be miss-marked so you’ll send it back for a reholder, during all this time the market will fall off a cliff for comic books and your book will be worth half what it was before you sent it in. Or none of this.
  11. great sketch, but I would send it back to have them add the "and sketch by"
  12. This is a sales thread. Are you selling this? If so list the appropriate information.
  13. I think remarques were done first. My Remarque is on its way back to me now, but my signature only hasn’t moved.
  14. Placement, placement, placement. Signature placement makes all the difference in the world. My 100% biggest gripe is when I window a book and it is removed from the bag for a signing. I get it the creator/writer likes a certain place but I've researched examplars and know what their signature looks like and where I want it.
  15. I don’t know anything about investing in comics, but it’s still possible to make more of these as Todd still signs (should have an upcoming signing in December). Yellow labels can be cracked and signed by CGC or a facilitator.
  16. Yeah, and it pairs quite nicely with another I have from him.
  17. CGC has posted a lot of the creators signings and remarques. Luckily they posted mine from Jock.
  18. Most of these I had done myself in person or through a facilitator (still hope to get a JRSR I have in through a private signing). I have purchased some, a few more than I would like due to Covid. Good call on the Wolfman’s. I’m hoping that he would write “editor-in-chief” below his sig so it gets noted by CGC on the header. I have almost all of the westerns, but missing 1 or 2 which is what I have for him. It’s been a bit of a ride since I do collect other SS comics and I don’t want to spend my whole cash allotment on 30c’ers.
  19. I typically add ccs pressing to my in-house signings (probably done ~50) and have been generally happy with the result. I've had 1 higher value book done, Hulk 180, and they definitely helped the book as there was a corner crease and some waviness that they removed.
  20. I'm sure this group will be rather upset with me but thought I would share my 30c SS collection here. My goal (I'm confident its not achievable) is to have all 30c signed by at least 1 member of the creative team or creative team adjacent (character creator, eic...). Some are double signed, some are remarked... Grade doesn't really matter to me and if I found a particularly high grade I probably wouldn't want to risk the grade. This isn't all of the collection, nor do I have all my 30c autographed (who would I even have sign the TGK's or RHK's?). I do have a registry started https://comics.www.collectors-society.com/registry/comics/PeopleSetDetail.aspx?PeopleSetID=147162 Allow the flaming to commence!
  21. My Jock remarque just went to SFG. I wonder if they took them to SDCC to be signed/remarqued?
