| Hey CBCS forum members, I was wondering if we could get together an official list of people/companies that will transport comics from Con to Con for witnessed signature verification. Please post which grading company(CBCS, CGC, or PGX) followed by who to contact or where to go for the information we seek. Example: CGC - DesertWinds(link/number) As the list builds from responses I will edit them onto here as a master list. Please also notate if you have first hand experience(confirmation) or if it's just something you have heard about, seen at a con, or read about online. Thank you all! R E S U L T S: CGC New York Comics (www.nycomics.us) - Rumored good Desert Wind Comics (www.desertwindcomics.com) - Good /w small caveats Agents of Slab (www.agentsofslab.com) - Florida based, seem expensive Prestige Comics (see "Prestige Comics/Collectibles" Facebook) - Great reputation CBCS Trinity Comics (www.trinity-comics.com) - 1st Hand THUMBS UP CBCS Scheduled/Private Signings (see "CBCS" Facebook) Excelsior Collectibles (see "Excelsior Collectibles" Facebook) Genuine Collectibles (www.genuinecoa.com) Collectors Choice Comics (see "Collectors Choice Comics" Facebook) PGX Contact PGX Directly (phone/email) **AFTER 8/4/17, MAIN POST WILL LOCK - I WILL CONTINUE TO SUMMARIZE LISTED GROUPS INTO POSTS WITHIN THE THREAD** |

 I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for.

Quote:Originally Posted by DarthLego You know I'm not sure anymore, but from like 2012 and before all I remember seeing was the DesertWinds lady at every Con I went to...with her giant CGC signage. Maybe they've been replaced since then or did some shady stuff? Can anyone atest to DesertWinds being a good/bad option? I remember they never charged me the $100 for my books back then, so that was good...but it did take like 6 months or more which was less good. |

| This is from the Official CBCS Signature Program facebook page pinned post. "ADAM HUGHES (only through Trinity Comics private signing), J. SCOTT CAMPBELL (only through CBCS scheduled & private signings), STAN LEE (only thru Excelsior Collectibles, Steve McDonald, Jeff Avigliano, Genuine COA & Trinity Comics private signing), JIM LEE (only thru CBCS & Trinity Comics private signing), JIM STARLIN (only thru a CBCS witness or an AW working the CBCS booth) & FRANK MILLER (only through Trinity Comics private signing)." This list is subject to change. ALWAYS double check before acting on this!! I have NOT seen Trinity advertise a McFarlane signing event yet. I'll double check with CBCS tomorrow on the accuracy of that. However, this list is posted by Mark Roman, head of the CBCS Signature programs, so I assume it is legit. Also, CBCS does occasionally do private signings at cons and you would go through CBCS to do that. Those events are usually announced at the same time they announce they will be at a con. That means that it's usually just a week or two that you have to get books to them. And even then, they sometimes only accept books dropped off at the event. |

Quote:Originally Posted by comic_book_man My issues with Desert Wind/Celestial have been pretty minor, mostly having to bug them to invoice me, but they still got the signatures while I was waiting to pay so no big deal. I have heard some horror stories though and I don't doubt they're true; comics seem to be something where when bad things go wrong they can go very wrong and I've had my share of such experiences elsewhere. |

| Never been willing to stand in line for a signature, seen some long lines. I'd stand in line for Kirby though, (if only) | ||

| Cgc- Agents of Slab http://agentsofslabs.com they are the guys that are here around me in Florida. But they seem a bit expensive to me. I like to hunt my own sigs, most of mine are still in raw. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by dielinfinite @dielinfinite Thank you! As I was updating the main post I saw the 24-hour warning message above. Darn.  That's OK, I'll just try to get as many as I can in 24-hours and any late ones I'll repost in bulk if they accumulate. So far we've got a decent list going.  @Krazywan @Jesse_O @RyanHicks @drchaos Correct so far? |

| I have to add Prestige Comics/Collectibles Signature and Pressing Services. I've dealt with Chris Toledo there and have always had great results. They will also get signatures on items other than comics for you. Just fyi - their presser is Josh Avery. I've not had anything personally pressed by him. www.facebook.com/groups/1702231126730913/ |

Quote:Originally Posted by dielinfinite I agree. I have purchased comics through him and he was great to deal with. And I've not heard anyone speak ill of him or his pressing. I just can't personally testify to his pressing, yet. |

| @comic_book_man CGC has a rule that prohibits their witnesses from witnessing for other companies so as a general rule, if someone does CGC they won't do others. | ||

| Ok - I edited my first comment. I was reading the post incorrectly. As of right now, NO ONE is authorized by CBCS to witness Todd McFarlane or Robert Kirkman signatures. This is, of course, subject to change. | ||
