Question about Remark Requests
1 1

5 posts in this topic

Hey everyone, new member here. Got back into comics recently after a 20 year or so hiatus and had a question about the etiquette of requesting remarques. I apologize if this has been asked elsewhere, I searched the forums and presented my query to a gentleman down at my local Google, but neither venture was particularly helpful.

I'm submitting a CGC 9.8 graded copy of Tiggomverse for the in-house signing and remarque by Marat Mychaels in September. I followed the directions and prepared a separate window bag, and was debating on writing quick notes on the painters tape surrounding the window sections. For instance, I wanted to write "sign here in purple" or "remarque/ sketch here" along with some small details, like color or size. Is this okay to do or do artists get a bit annoyed by notes around the windows? I also wanted to add a 3rd (small) window and request Marat to write "1/1" in a certain spot. I feel like that's asking extra as I'm already getting his signature and a small sketch, but I think it would look really cool on this particular comic (I know, I'm a weirdo).

What are the generally accepted parameters pertaining to remarque requests, window bags, etc. so I don't submit it and have the artist roll their eyes, or reject my submission for excessive fussiness? Is it normal to write notes to the artist or is that frowned upon? Why am I spending so much money on a remarque for an issue of Tiggomverse? Any and all answers to the above would be greatly appreciated!

I’d read through the Cgc rules and terms, and if it’s not prohibited then ask Cgc directly the best way to get this done

Thanks Deadpoolica. It seemed pretty normal to me but I wanted to make sure before mailing it in. Revat, should I post that in the "ask CGC" section of the forums?

I think that's fine, but I personally would contact (probably email) cgc customer service directly, make sure your specific situation is addressed, and you open a specific dialogue so (if needed) CGC staff can walk you through the whole process.
