So there was a CGC facilitator at the Real Steel event?

Interesting posts and all valid opinions, though I agree with Jesse-Lee that the "point" of Momoko's art is that it is unconventional and allows (forces) all of us comic book fans to see things in a different way, which is what art does. To me, it's refreshing to see comic art that's not just a copy of everything else out there. If nothing else, I like that she does not focus or obsess on anatomical perfection or extremes, which seems to be the fashion these days with so many other artists.

I can't wait to submit my SME 15 for his signature, but for some reason I don't see the option for his autograph in Chinese. Can you look into this and fix it?

That’s just crazy good stuff. I mean, most of the sketch covers shown in this thread look like they were professionally printed and are so much better in terms of being fully realized, final pieces of art, compared to the sketches I’ve seen done by more “established” artists, like JS Campbell, Jim Lee, or Frank Miller, which tend to be more “cartoony” and simple. I wonder which are more valuable on the market.

Wait, those are sketches? Drawn directly on the comic book? They look like they were printed!

FYI, I actually was just able to confirm with CGC that books being submitted for full page sketches do NOT need to be window bagged, which makes sense. However, books submitted for remarques still need to be window bagged.

Oh, I see. So I guess that's how most of the cover art shown in this thread was done - i.e., sent directly to the artist first rather than submitted through CGC's private signing/sketch events. Thanks for clearing up my confusion!

Hey all, I’m new to all this sketch work on comic books but find it really fascinating. I’m thinking about submitting some blank cover books to CGC for Jim Lee to sketch on, but I’m a little confused about how to submit them. If CGC requires all books be window bagged for submission, how did you all get these artists to fill the entire cover with their sketches, ie. edge-to-edge? Not to mention the back covers?? I’d really appreciate any pointers. Thanks!

So, which issues would be best for her signature, in terms of resale value?

Has anyone gotten a sketch cover done by Jim Lee? Is it worth the $875 CGC is currently charging to get one (and what would you submit/request)? Apologies if this is off topic!

Wow, how much did that cost?

Well, I think the submission site has finally crashed for good. It's just a blank void now...

Anyone else having trouble with CGC's online submission portal? It's taking forever to load and keeps crashing Guess everyone else is trying to submit last minute before the price gouging begins...

Oops, just realized that's a Silver Age book. Lol.

So I noticed that Strange Tales 159 has gone ballistic this month. Over $4500 on HA and almost $4k on eBay (both 9.6)! https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1312&_nkw=strange+tales+159&_sacat=0&LH_TitleDesc=0&_sop=16&_osacat=0&_odkw=amazing+spider-man+201&LH_Complete=1&rt=nc&LH_Sold=1
