  1. Would also be interested in a heads up for any Ben Edlund signing. Thanks in advance.
  2. i swnt in 14 books over 2 submissions. The first submission was 3 graded books that were part of the December session. IH 340 , ASM 300, and Spawn Batman. All were T McFarlane. 2nd submission all raw. 11 books Spawn 1, Spawn 9, Spawn 311 (boseman sketch variant) , Batman 423, Asm 311, 315, 316, 317, spiderman 1 (silver, gold,and green ). Only Spawn 311, asm 315, Batman 423 and spiderman 1 silver all were Todd McFarlane, the rest T. McFarlane. I didn't make any special requests outside of placement and ink colors. To be fair, he ignored those requests for Spawn 311 and the end result was much better than what I had asked for. So 4 out of 14. The one that puzzled me was ASM 315. That cover is so busy, that would have been the last I would have expected a full signature on.
  3. I believe FedEx and Ups are delivered directly to their loading dock at CGC. I believe that post office deliveries are handled differently. The first few submissions I sent in were usps and went exactly as you described and turned out fine.
  4. I think the 25 book minimum he is referring to is specifically for grade prescreening..
  5. I first saw him at a Mid Ohio con in Fall of 1988. He has not changed. The line was long that day, and I would kind of step to the side to see what was taking so long at the front. Todd was taking the time with each fan to ask how they were doing, if they were enjoying themselves. This was shortly after his start on ASM. He was obviously enjoying himself, kidding around with the person who was seated next to him (Keith Giffen, iirc). It made the wait in the line a lot more tolerable. Compare that to Jon Byrne at the same convention. He obviously didn't wat to be there. Next, get the book signed, Next. Two very different experiences for the fans.
  6. I received the email on March 12th. I sent out my reply with instructions on March 15th. I have still not received any sort of confirmation that they received my reply. I resent my reply on Friday April 1st. I have had nothing but positive experiences with the in house signing events to this point. So I guess I was due. The longer this goes on though, it will definitely overshadow the positive experiences.
  7. Sent in a shipment which was received by CGC in my submission page on 2/2. I was charged for pressing at the time, which has been my normal experience with the Signature Series events. I have yet to receive the instructions email they said to wait for. It has been three weeks now. During those three weeks, they have added mutiple other signing events, and yet have still not contacted all of the customers for the Perez event about their options. I would have thought that options email would have been sent out en masse like the cancellation notice was, and immediately after the Wolfman and Starlin signings were announced. the fact that some have received the options email and others still have not is frustrating. I will probably break down and email them next week. It seems like a massive customer service failure, for an event that no reasonable customer blames them for not occcuring. Yet their seeming apathy with regards to the resolution of this, is not reflecting well at all.
  8. 1) Todd Mcfarlane 2) Mike Mignola 3) Ben Edlund 4) Peach Momoka
  9. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. A few years back there was a rumor that Tom Cruise and John Travolta were kicking around the idea of a remake, an idea that still leaves me in cold sweats.
  10. Based on previous signings, each one would have to have a separate invoice. If you had two books say for Bagley alone they could be on the same invoice. You can ship all three together in the same shipment to cgc. Make sure you initial for each of the three invoices on each side of the outer box (BB, BB/MB, an MB) yeah it seems redundant, but best to be safe. You can combine the return shipping as well.. On the bottom of each printed invoice write " combine shipping", They will recalculate the shipping costs when received, and ship them back as one shipment rather than each invoice separately, if you desire.
  11. Per their response to my query Thank you for your email, If the book's cover is entirely foil, unfortunately we cannot press it. If the outside cover is foil while the interior cover is paper stock, we are able to press it. The foil covers that can be pressed have certain limitations due to the raised surface of the cover. In some cases, bends are too deep or large to be effectively removed because of these limitations. If in doubt, please utilize the CCS screening service to determine if your foil cover is a good candidate for pressing Hope this helps if someone else has a similar question. Thanks to everyone who gave feedback on this
  12. I would like to thank everyone for their responses. The book in question is wonder woman 26 the photo foil convention edition. I sent out a query to customer service to see if they will even accept such a pressing.
  13. I am sending a book in for a signing event, and as a general rule when doing so, order pressing, to counteract any possible indentations from the signer. However, this book has a foil cover. Is there a higher risk of damage for this during the pressing process than a "normal cover? If so, would pressing still be recommended after the signing? Thanks in advance.
  14. An extra two months is nothing. I submitted two books for the Geoff Johns signing. Deadline for submission was 12/15/2020. Long series of reasons for why the signing was delayed. One creator was living in Canada, covid restricting international travel etc. At present, I can't even view my submission as it has passed 8 months in system. I assume it will pop up when the books finally reach grading. overall, the turnaround time for these signings has been good, but there has been outliers.
  15. Today, I noticed that a new status description has been added evidently for more transparency in the submission process. "Received at CCS" is showing on each outstanding invoice that I have. Two books submitted in December for the Geoff Johns signing. Books submitted in June for the Simonson signing, the Silvestri signing, and the Bagley signing. And now books submitted in July for the Jim Lee and Art Adams signings. I have always understood that CCS received the books after the signing event. Should I be concerned about the July books in particular seemingly already at CCS, before the signing, since the deadline for those submissions is July 30th? Or does it seem like some sort of umbrella description to cover the first receipt of the books at CGC? Thanks in advance for any insight provided.
