| Surprised it took them that long, think they had already canceled it like a week or two ago due to his bad health. | ||

| Very sorry to hear. I wonder if they will offer an option of a blue Perez label where those proceeds could still go to he and his family? Was fortunate enough to meet him at Comicon back in 2000. Such a talented, gentle, humble man. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by KCBatmanFan they should offer a label in his honor and charge us extra and donate the cash. if cbcs were able to do this i would love to send in comics. lets one up cgc here and with all that mr perez has given us lets give back. can cbcs offer a perez type label and make us pay say extra $10 and it goes to charity in his name |

Bronte private msg quote post Address this user | |
| I think the best way to honor him is to see if you can contact him or his family and ask how he would like to be represented whether he has an existing gofundme or charity. There is no way cbcs can generate labels without his consent, and given his health I wouldn't even approach him with that idea unless he has a dramatic improvement. Edit Here is his Facebook page. Someone by the name of constance recently posted on hos behalf. https://m.facebook.com/TheGeorgePerez/ |

| I'm a bit curious now about what will happen with my book as I also paid for pressing from CGC. They charged my card the $20 for it, so I assume it will be pressed before it is sent back to me. | ||

| I sent 3 books, 1 raw and 2 slabs. I heard they have a George Perez blue label that would be graded, maybe even just reholdered with the custom label. I think the proceeds would still go to George and his family. Probably the best case scenario. | ||

| I sent in four books for the signing, none slabbed, and got an e-mail last night saying the books were received into the system. I checked, and the full amount was charged for all four books. I did opt for the Perez custom labels, but I have yet to hear of any "options" I have for the books. Has anyone gotten that follow up e-mail yet? | ||

| I was charged the full amount and haven't heard anything yet, either, but I would imagine that they have a whole lot of customers to contact. So @pandorasdad they just said they were sending your books back? No option to go ahead and have them slabbed at the standard rates? I had mine pressed, so I'm not sure if that's already happened what that will mean. |

| I did reach out asking if I can have my books transferred over to the Starlin Signing. I had already invested over $100 one way shipping, so at the very least I want them graded, not returned raw. This was their response. Hey there! Thank you for your correspondence. We are methodically working through all invoices for George Perez. We will reach out to you with options when we get to your invoice. We ask for your patience until you receive the email from us with the options. Thank You. Take whatever meaning out of this you want. |

Quote:Originally Posted by jayscomics Yes, I didn't spend that much on shipping, being from the U.S., but it's sunk cost (as I imagine return shipping is as well). So if I have the option to just have the books pressed / graded as normal at the regular non-signature price I imagine I will proceed. |

Quote:Originally Posted by ComicNinja0215 This was also my main reason. I paid $75 to ship them down, most of which was insurance. Best case scenario, I am out that money, but I can easily make up the difference and send the books in to CBCS and get the correct grade. I do not mind letting them grade the books without a signature, as there is no viable CBCS option for three of the four, but I can get Starlin to sign my DC Presents 26 and have CBCS grade it. I suppose I will just wait and see what they say before I make any decision, but they are mostly likely coming home raw. |

| you would think cgc would wait until the books were signed before billing the orders. now you all have to hope they credit the charge cards in timely manner and lets not forget they have to pack up the comics and ship them back. which how they operate can be months. and in good faith you think cgc would pay half the shipping cost back to the customers. zero, nada |

| cgc could have asked the customers in good faith we are taking half your shipping cost and donating it to charity and they ship back the comics less the shipping cost. shit i would even say donate $20 from my order to it. cgc is so shitty its not even worth it |

Quote:Originally Posted by Bronte That’s awesome! I was able to snag the Absolute Edition for a steal a year or two ago but I’ll definitely double dip on this EDIT: Ordered two copies! I’d been considering doing another custom bound book in the vein of my Marvel vs DC/Amalgam book collecting all the other Marvel/DC crossovers. I wasn’t going to include JLA/Avengers since there wasn’t a tpb and the indicidual issues are too expensive to chop up for such a project |

Quote:Originally Posted by KCBatmanFan I have already been charged for the pressing, but not the slabbing. The email I got, which I have to think was a form email, said that I would be contacted later about getting my book back, so I don't actually know what's going to happen. I'd love to have the book slabbed anyway with a blue Perez label and still give that money to his family. |

Quote:Originally Posted by ComicNinja0215 I'm leaning that way, too. But if I can get a blue Perez label and it still gets money to his family, I'd do it. That label would look real good on my comic wall. |
