USPS, take pictures of all books incase claim. I've never had a problem from MI to Florida.

...us old guys, in the old days waited up to one year for our comics to be graded and misplaced comics to be found, to surface.

I bought too many short boxes from a guy...made the bad decision to recoup some of my money. Sold a full short box of mint AMS #150 and up...(not even sure what was in box, I was overwhelmed) for $75 on market place. Guy wanted to meet at local gas station, he couldn't get his money out fast enough and leave. My regret to this day...all good though, it made me slow down and check my boxes on future purchases.

Agree on 9.0...welcome to the world of grading...we all think our comics are "9.8's".

I have gone back and forth on this, trying to balance risk and reward.  Floor vs ceiling.  Would appreciate your thoughts about sending this in.  Looking only at expected ROI

 

 

I rolled the dice! Sent my 9.4 in for sig. and press and new label! Do it!

8.5 didn't peak at other guesses first!... but get it cleaned and pressed. 8.0 or less if that's lower staple is pulled too bad.

Insure heavy, never know what could happen en route, and return. Sent my #300 right into hurricane Ian for signing. It made it...I think...no update in submissions yet.

...and be patient, your waiting game could go 6 months-1 year.

Bag and board! Just feel lucky you own it!!...and keep it and read it! 1.0

...figures my ASM 300 is enroute for the signing event...

Yes hold off on grading...put your money into something else. Bag and board...and read! Good find!

Just boxed up, and sent ASM #300 9.4 for this signing, press and clean while it's there. No concerns.

2.0 without peaking at other guesses. Luck to have one! Maybe the guy blocked you because just too painful to see after sale...maybe just weird guy. Either way, you won.

One book sales do work better. Thanks for the proof. Congrats to all.

Wow! Just received mechanical error back from CGC. It's perfect! Thanks to Jen and crew for excellent follow through! CGC came through again! Thank you.

6.5 agree! Keep the 6.5 you got and keep looking. Hidden problems

Careful, I sent one in and thought it would go up 1.0...it went down 0.5, I was crushed. Sell it high and buy an 8.0 low.

4.0 without peaking at other guesses. Wow!

Thanks Jen! Your always on it!

Evening, I wonder if I'm being too picky? Just got back SS Star Wars Annual #1 by Walt Simonson. Got a 9.8! Problem is I count 7 smudges on inside of well and one outside scratch...I requested a clean and press. Does Walt sign after clean and press? Also do the inner wells get wiped out before they place comic? Also can I send back in for a reholder, does CGC cover this? I just opened box 5 min ago. Thanks for any help.

ps- I'm so happy with it! Just want it to be right for my collection.

Sorry of glare on pics, it's the only way to see smudges. First smudge runs from right shoulder to left knee, Second pic has two on orange and one over face. There are more. Third pic has two spots between S and T in STAR WARS.

* maybe a suggestion, new employees, wipe out wells before encasing? I'm not sure how this happens...

"A true artist"...I like following the process! Great job.

You can't get one yet with CGC COA until Sat. 9am, that's when they go on sale. On J. Scott Campbell site

Thank you Jen!

The email response,

While we normally do not accept a COA for previously acquired signatures, we are making an exception with this scenario since we will be at the signing and sealing the books. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us at any time!

What I get out of it...anyone correct me if I'm wrong...Is CGC and J Scott Campbell teamed up for a 1 to 300 exclusive signing. You buy book(waiting list) on his website and CGC witnesses and cert. the book and encases, CGC COA included. Amazing that it's 10/12/21 and it's not for sale yet, and they want it in their hands by 11/19/21! It says expect 2 week delivery( cutting it awful close). Maybe it never gets to you first? It's sent directly to CGC? But then why would they say package with CGC COA?...unless your mailing it in...confusing...

1.On submission form, I type in J.Scott Campbell X-Men#1 and it doesn't come up. Please help...Can't find comic title in list. 

2. Confusing, is this only for the 1 of 300 CGC edition...or can the 1 of 2500 be submitted with COA and they give you a CGC COA upon mailing back to you, after he signs? Thanks
