| I did think of you when I saw that. But you wouldn't have received the 25% off grading. I'm not sure where you would have saved more. | ||

If I send in a book that has been signed and has a sketch on it as well, what would the label say? |

| It will say Verified Signature with sketch, I believe. I have one that says Witnessed Signature with sketch.  |

Quote:Originally Posted by Nearmint67 When it's witnessed and the sketch was done at signing it'll say "(with sketch)" next to the signers name. When it's verified (like in the case of this promo), the signer's name is on the top line & "Sketch on cover." is on the bottom line. |

I just thought of something else. My submission is signed on the front cover and signed and sketched on the interior by the same artist. Do I have to pay twice?  |

| It would be nice if the date for it to arrive at HQ is longer though, since if I ship them from overseas it won't arrive by the deadline. | ||

| yikes!!! I have a box somewhere with mostly singed books - main problem is are any of them worth grading!!!! I mean...a bunch of DF books before I went to conventions then of course convention books - but some are just signed by creators I love and the books are dollar bin books....choices choices!!! For some of the DF books maybe a grade with no press and free VSP would still result in 9+ so send to MCS to auction off??? |

One has been delivered and the other is in USPS limbo. Not to mention my subs for the previous discount code. I'm going to have PTSD once all of this is over.   |

| @KatKomics I know, right? You have my sympathies. I have friends in Canada and I can't mail them a Christmas card. I check on this situation daily. I think once the strike is over, there will be customers that have found alternatives and will never go back to Canada Post. |

| Priority 3 day. Everything went from expected on December 2, 2024 to expected delivery date Unknown and just sat there. Basically all parcels have had an extra 7 to 9 days added to the delivery date. The one exception is the book I mailed @HeinzDad. I sent it UPS Saver where UPS delivered it to the local post office for home delivery. That took three days. |

| Can anyone advise if this discount will apply to multiple signatures on a single comic? I have several that I want to submit that have around 7 different signatures | ||

| That's crazy. USPS must be slammed and short staffed. I will be using Fed-Ex again. Costs more, but the books get delivered. |

Might be the right time to send this one in.  Without the promo, it would be $22 for grading, but $65 to verify the 3 sigs. |

 These might be going in along with my swampy signed by Bernie, a bill morrison signed Itchy & Scratchy from @Heinzdad and anything else I can think of that has a signature that I don't want to spend money having pressed. That $ adds up fast. |
