There is a Facebook group I joined recently where people post asking for a facilitator or notifying the group that one is available for certain shows.

I only joined the group recently so U can't speak to quality yet but it does exist.

IN-HOUSE PRESSING: Invoice submissions that need pressing services are to be done separately from submissions that do NOT require pressing.
.
Any ASP book submitted with 10 or more signatures will be charged an additional $5 processing fee. ASP books with 20 or more signatures will have an additional $5 fee added on again. The reason for this increase in processing fees is the length of time required to check each signature and date associated with the books.
.
The minimum submission of books from CBCS approved witnesses (Personal-Use AW & Facilitators) is still 5 per show (previously changed from 10, as the minimum).
.
Personal Use AWs are not allowed to have their books travel to other events to add signatures, unless the additional signatures are handled by a Facilitator, with proper documentation (multi-event forms).
.
· Facilitators & Personal-use AWs must submit all books within 10 business days of the last signing event, submissions after 10 days risk not qualifying for an ASP (yellow label) designation.
.
· Facilitators submitting books with incomplete submission paperwork or turning in books inside of window-cut bags, will have a $1/book surcharge added to that submission. Effective March 1st, 2018.
.
**Personal Use AWs must apply for AW status a least two weeks prior to the signing event.
.
Thank you

I had met David Finch last weekend and was approved as an AW for the event. I've already sent my books in for grading however I had missed the portion that says David Finch has to have managers initials on the form to get a yellow label. I was not charged as I'm active military stationed here overseas.

So because of this am I now screwed on getting a yellow label for my books?

Never submitted an art piece before so not sure the best way to go about it. Is it just treated the same as an witnessed signature?

Appreciate the clarification

After hearing many of you out & carefully taking into consideration, the time needed to process orders for other witnesses & customers, CBCS has decided to extend your books to be submitted to CBCS to 30 days, after getting your books signed, instead of 10 business days. International Facilitators will now have 60 days. We hope this helps. Personal-Use AWs, still have 10 business days, to turn books in after obtaining signatures.
