| I think I’ve convinced myself to save my money and send in a handful of books (including a McFarlane signed one or two), to CBCS verification. I’ve been putting it off but might as well just get the lot in. | ||

| IMO, Chris Hemsworth is a terrible portrayal of Thor. He doesn't have the chiseled features, he doesn't have the accent, and he looks like it's been years since he last bathed.  |

Quote:Originally Posted by Towmater IMHO - having seen a ton of Frank Miller "signatures"...hard pass. He's one of those creators who just doesn't seem to give a toss about legibility or being creative; his "signature" is just a scribbled line. I wouldn't pay a penny for his signature, and I'll bet his remarques are rushed (and lame) as well. Same thing with Garth Ennis and Alan Davis. I'm not making any comment about their artistic talents (they're professionals, I'm not...'nuff said), just giving my two cents. Yes, Todd charges a high premium, but at least you can READ HIS SIGNATURE and there's a certain "aesthetic" to his signature that's pleasing to the eye. Fun fact: I attended NYCC during the last year of Jammin' Gene Colan's life, and even he, with partial blindness and a host of other physical ailments, took the time to give this fan a legible signature that I cherish to this day. |

| I got a response from cgc. They want the window bag even if they are pressing Below is the email. Thank you for your email, Yes we ask that you still provide these for the signing, Here is a link on how to make your own window bags found in a post on our chat boards: https://www.cgccomics.com/boards/topic/241753-how-to-window-bag-your-books-for-ss-with-photos/ |

| In theory they crack book out and the graders never see Edit Granted I'm hedging my bets and using cgc window bags |

| I suppose I could use CGC window bags but I reallllly don't like his signature on spidey...might make my own (if I send in) and try to get it where the window is in the 300's to the right of spidey? also worried about grade drop...but I suppose a 9.2 signed is "worth" about the same as 9.4 unsigned? |

| I had sent in a chromium 300 at a 9.6 pressed and it came back as a 9.8 so there is a "chance" of a better outcome.... | ||

| I know CBCS recognized CGC witnessed signatures and keeps them in place. Not sure if the same holds true the other way around. Quote: Originally Posted by multi007 |

Quote:Originally Posted by KatKomics I would double check that. I remember a while back seeing something that CBCS would only honor cgc yellow labels from a certain date and going back. This was caused by some CGC controversy with witnessed signatures a few years back. I lose track of all the "controveries" of both grading companies. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Hcanes @Hcanes it was that way for a short time. The decision was reversed. CBCS honors CGC Signature Series slabs from any time frame now. And, CGC has never honored CBCS witnessed or verified slabs. |

| @multi007 They used to explicitly state a 5 dollar fee if you didn't include a window bag. This time I didn't see that in the wording. But I didn't go hunting for it either |

| Well, Just sent off my 2nd and final shipment of books for TM signing... Bought several graded 9.8s Signature Series King Spawn (Greg Capullo), 9.8 Spawn #1s, and one Venom #1 to send off. Picked up several King Spawn #1 Variant B and H raws to send in too. Fingers crossed the grades remain (and the raws come back with) 9.8s...  |

| @Bronte definitely. I sent one 9.8 graded in to get signed too. Here’s the one I sent in. Good luck! This is a chance of a lifetime. Don’t miss out, you’ll regret it.  |

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

| So I have 28 books I am sending in for Todd McFarlane's signature. Even though I never paid the $199 annual fee I was able to log into my account and complete the online form. Usually grading fees on dealer accounts are lower than those for other accounts. Before CGC introduced the annual fee I did the previous McFarlane signing as well as submitting books for Robert Downey Jr. For both of those signings dealers were charged the same price as everyone else. Is there any reason I should pay the $199 annual fee if they allow me to submit these books without doing so? |

| @drchaos I also submitted a book to CGC's Todd McFarlane signing. I do not have a CGC membership but was allowed to submit. This is the only signing, or submission for that matter, that I'm aware of where CGC has allowed without an active membership. I don't think you can submit anything else, in-house signings or otherwise, without a paid membership. | ||

| I just sent another 4 books to be signed. I think my dumb ass sent 4 different submissions. The only good thing about that is the credit cards got hit at different times so I didn't get railed with one big bill. For some reason, I kept remembering stuff at different times. I really need to get organized. | ||
