brettfes Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 https://bleedingcool.com/comics/jason-fabok-apologies-for-comic-shop-charging-50-to-sign-three-jokers/ there were some red flags before the signing like not answering questions, not releasing pricing or signing time/details... but it ended up being a total mess. When your talent ends up going behind your back on social media begging forgiveness to their fans and pushing customers towards another facilitator/agent to help make it right... well, that’s pretty bad. Pity, cgc signings are not complicated to run or promote... there should have been more than enough of this issue around not to charge $25 for it, and unfortunately it’s a very bad black eye for both cgc and Toronto - which has a long successful track record with signings and sig series. Yikes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yikes! The term “Jokers” is appropriately applied here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the uniformed customer, it looks like Cgc is affiliated with this event, and certainly approved the parts of it that relate to Cgc. An average customer may not be able to distinguish who they should be disgruntled with. similarly, many creators already have the opinion that Cgc SS = reckless wanton profiteering at the expense of creators and fans. This impression may result not wanting Cgc involved at their future events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill throw mine out there and I have had nothing but good experiences with CGC SS thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All about 1st impression. That's how opinions get formed. What I didn't get from the article is whether Fabok was paid the full amount of $50 per sig. Or did the store keep the $40 difference.
