Can no longer hold books for SS?!? 0

[story cover & art by...]

Any truth to this and if so when???

second time I heard about this last night... that facilitators have to send books back to CGC within a week-month?!? Can no longer piggyback books to multiple cons?!?

I have recently paid big money for multiple sigs with two major facilitators... I haven't heard from them in regards to this?!?

doesn't seem to be anything on the boards about it, if I was worried about it I'd call CGC directly right now.

If your facilitator hasn't mentioned anything to you yet, then I wouldn't be too worried about it, assuming you're using a long established facilitator with a strong reputation.  But I would contact them just to make sure.

The rules as I understand them (dating back at least a few years) was that books can be held for no more than a month once signed and all holdovers have to be approved by the SS director.  From the sounds of things, facilitators have been able to stretch this out a bit with the blessing of the director.  I can't speak in any official capacity, but if they start enforcing the month limit, it's not a new rule; it would simply be enforcing an existing rule.

My understanding is that it's no more than one month between signatures, so that the "hold" period can be stretched out as long as a signature is added no later than a month after the prior signature.

One of the most respected facilitators has been holding one of my books for many months (might even be a year by now) and I have no worries.  He got two of the signatures and has just been holding it to get the last one.

PS. I just checked and the original signing happened in July of last year and he was supposed to get the final signature at SDCC.

Agreed.  I have gone through the same thing, and am extremely glad the books were held so I could get some difficult multi-sigs on a book. I have utmost faith in the facilitator and it doesn't bother me a bit if my book(s) sit out there indefinitely with the right person.  I know they are in good hands.
