I'm glad that we subbed when we did! CGC doesn't say specifically when the Todd signing is, only to have the books in by Dec 9th. I'm sure it won't be too long after that though.

BUT at 3 week TAT for non-pressed and 6 week TAT pressed, it shouldn't eat into too much time or concern with our subs taking longer  

went down from 25 business days to 22 on modern slow-track

I'm thinking CGC will be very very busy after the 11th of December until the new year

Have questions I haven’t seen asked yet, will the post-office ship with the “TM” written on all sides of the box? 

Thought the only writting permitted when shipping were the addresses. 

And, does cgc accept money orders, cashier checks or electronic payments for direct submissions?

Thanks!

I didn't have any problems with the post office, CGC received mine ok.

CGC takes credit cards and checks.

I hope the Todd MacFarlane signings work well for everyone.

Did anyone see if we could request a certain color of signature by Todd?

I know starlin the artist has a severe allergic to silver markers...

That's a good question

I don't know how it works with comics, but with sports memorabilia the signature should be on the number or logo and it should match the color of jersey, for instance blue jersey, blue Sharpee. Generally the number or logo offsets the jersey color.

I guess with books it would probably what comes out the best

I know someone asked that earlier on, but I don't think they were ever answered.... I'll check

Does anyone know if the normal discounts apply for this? (dealer discount)

Confirmed that this is a no. The all inclusive price for this signing is what everyone pays. It's not too bad considering Todd's sig fee, CCG grading fee, fast track etc.

[brownies8701]

I got my AMS 300 pressed & graded this past spring & came back a 9.2.  Now I want to send this same book back & get Todd to sign it.

Since I was happy with the 9.2 grade and would like to get the same grade, is it overkill to think about getting it pressed again (and save $20)?  I'm concerned the people handling my book after CGC cracks the case will cause the grade to decrease.

Also, is it not good to get a comic pressed multiple times, especially in a relatively short amount of time?

Just Because CGC Sent Out A New Email, I'm Posting The Email In Case It Contains New Info

Ugh I wanna do this so bad. So many things to buy these days 

Wonder when the next chance for sig will be...I usually prefer getting sigs in person...

[Xenosmilus]

Apologies if someone asked this but I have 5 books I want to send in.  2 of them I want to get pressed.  Based on how the submission form is set up it appears that you have to submit two separate order forms based on their instructions. One for the books you want pressed and one for the non-pressing books.  Is this correct?

[Antyreal]

Yes, you will need to do 2 forms

Please anyone correct me on this if I am wrong - but I heard Todd does not do grading/witness signings at conventions.  He will sign raw books at conventions - but not for grading.  Again I may be wrong on this (maybe its a comic urban myth) but I have heard it more than once from different people.

This is true. Todd does not allow grading/witinessing at conventions. Only private signings can get a yellow label.

Just buy an existing signed book. This sig opp is one of the highest charges I’ve ever seen for McFarlane.

Think if you ask ccs, they’ll say of course you should get it pressed again. Personally, I find better pressing elsewhere.
