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

Really? It seemed like a fair price with grading included. I’ve been itching for it since I want one of the new variants signed and slabbed. But I suppose I could wait for them to come to the after market.

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.

Agreed.

What did you learn about whether dealer discounts apply to this opp?

Keep those new member questions coming folks. I’m here to help. Never to criticize or belittle. Serving our benevolent overlords. Please. Let me help you help them. And you. 

[Shawngk]

Ok. I’m new here.  How does a graded book come back like and will there be a certificate of authenticity for the sig.  just curios, this is my first Cgc comic.

No. The yellow label is the de facto coa. It comes back via usps registered mail by default, I believe.

If you look toward the top of this subforum, there is a thread specifically for newbies to find some beginner information about CGC SS.  Additionally, you should check out the CGC website in general.

Just filled out my form....Man it ($$$) adds up fast!  Fingers crossed they are not down graded!

They don't.

If I put a $5 bill in my already signed book, will Todd pretend he signed it at the signing?

also does anyone know why he won’t sign that specific short list?

He doesn't sign books he had nothing to do with/didn't get paid for basically, and doesn't do ratio/incentive variants out of principle. You can hear him talk about it here

[Buzzetta]

Just shipped out three books still in their CGC cases.   I paid the $5 fee per book for CGC to do it.   Let's see how this goes. 

[Turtle]

I'm impressed by how much activity there has been in this thread.  Good for Todd!

Neat opportunity for new people (like me) to sig series. Ironic that the main reason im doing this is for resale value yet the value after the thousands of new sig series McFarland books is bound to plummet.

Yeah I get that, I mean the retailer thank you, high ratio variants etc

I have a free account so no account number.  On the form should I just write “free account” in the account number field?

I'm excited to hear about it though! Going big or Going home always is interesting, can't wait to see and  for your results!

There are plenty of new "members" here and they apparently are more important. Isn't that always the way? Jettison the old. Welcome the new. 

There are plenty of old "members" who are perfectly capable of getting along with new "members", I hope it happens more  !!!

I was thinking this too.  I have a Hulk 340 I was thinking about sending in, but its probably no higher than a 9.0 at best, and I know values will plummet once people start getting their books back from CGC in the short term.  I’m actually now leaning towards finding a cleaner copy this weekend, or skipping the signing and checking ebay in a few months.  So hard to decide though, the submitting and waiting for a grade is all part of the fun and I’m not really looking to sell anytime soon.
