| So it's still about 50/50 on whether I attend the upcoming phoenix Comic-Con. In preparation I'm sorting through the highest quality and value comic books I own. I've identified about 100 slabbing candidates and figure another 50 or so by days end. After today I will take the time to further narrow the field to the absolute "best of the best" comic books. If I still have too many at that point I will do one final quality cut down before the weekend. Question is when submitting to CBCS in person is bag and board sufficient? Or should I "bullet proof" the comic s like when mailing in? Any oher suggestions/tips would be appreciated. Thanks. |

| I do a Golden Age bag/board, then SA bag/board w/comic inside that. THEN put another GA board in the bag on top of the cover. Write the pertinent CBCS form info on the outermost board. Excessive, certainly, but if a book or box is dropped or someone grabs the book in a weird way, you want the board(s) taking the brunt of any force, not your book. Or just submit in a toploader. |

| I use bag & board + toploaders when mailing in. In person, they usually suggest I take back the toploaders. The person at the booth earlier this year said "we have our own system". |

| A toploader sounds excessive most certainly But will keep the book protected. Just know you'll never get it back...that's why they suggest keeping it | ||

| @Savage_Spawn Definitely transport them to the show in toploaders, though. | ||

| I'm in the same boat! Going tomorrow, I believe. From my experience with CGC years ago, they take your books and wrap them up and place them in boxes full of bubble wrap to ship back. I didn't use any toploaders back then but my books were fine and I protected them from the crowds. |

| Got my gameplan, thanks all. One annoying quirk I have is the fine art of procrastination. I've known about this comic con for several weeks now and should have had my submission picks already sorted out. Always running things at the last minute. Increases the chance of error. | ||

| @Savage_Spawn Are you going to do the submission process online before the show? That will make it easier on you the day of. | ||

| Exactly. Less time at the booth = more time enjoining the show. Just be sure to keep an extra copy of the invoice for your personal records. A book I wanted raw graded ended up being slabbed. Not a big deal, but since the online order was altered at CBCS, it looked like that's what was ordered. It is gonna be resolved, but it would have been an easier correction if I had a hardcopy of the invoice on hand. |

| Hmm, forgot about the raw grade option. Maybe take in a couple extra if the comic warrants it. Thanks for the tips. | ||
