Are there ways to send in comics to get signed by the artists? Living in Montana it seems like all of the Comic-Con or Signature Events always take place in either the East Coast or the West Coast. They never come to the Midwest as far as I know. If anybody can help me out with that let me know text[/b]

I know that CBCS offers some signing events. That's how I got two of my books signed.

For this option, though, you're limited to whoever CBCS has an event set up for. You can check their website for details, but I don't believe they currently have any events scheduled.

@DMD161 Welcome to the forum...
CBCS does (or has) offer signing opportunities several times a year.
They are currently doing some, errr "restructuring" we will call it.
Check the website as @StraightArrow mentioned for new & or upcoming signing events.
It's a big part of the grading world, so they should hopefully get this figured out soon.

CGC also offers this as well but you need to check on their site as they seem to get all the famous artists/writers scheduled for these events. I just got a mail about a signing coming up for Dan Jurgens and Brett Breeding

I did bite the bullet on the Wolverine 50th anniversary signings CGC had but not a big fan of doing this as it gets expensive!!!!

@DoorCntyComicColl cgc charges way too much for most artists.
The only one I did with them is McFarlane. Still way too high, but unless you are able to get him to sign at a show after standing in line all day, it was the only way to get Todd to sign.
Example: Conway at cgc was 50.00 for the signature. CBCS was 30.00
Thomas at cgc was 90.00 for the signature. CBCS was 50.00.

Hey, I got one of those Gerry Conway sigs through CBCS! Mark Waid, too! I think with encapsulation, signatures, and shipping, I paid somewhere in the neighborhood of $120. Not a bad deal!

@Nearmint67 Totally agree but from what I understand the artists and writers make a ton as well (and I think well earned!!)

I bit the bullet because I had all 4 books in the Wolverine mini series as CGC 9.8s. I ended up getting 5 signatures on each book (with those folks up in age).. I calculated with the cost of the original encapsulation from CGC to get the 9.8 (Payed cover price per book as I bought them back in '82 when they first came out/shipping/etc.. total cost about $30 per book) and then resubmitting them months later for their signature series I must have easily dropped close to $270 per book for total costs (shipping to CGC/5 signatures cost in signings/re-encapsulating/shipping from CGC)...

Its expensive....
