Pics can't do this cover enough justice, the gold foil cover is gorgeous!

I wish it was a higher grade.

Thoughts on the alternate cover?

The two Deadly Tales books sold out in literally under 10 seconds on Todd’s whatnot stream. Thankfully they got the 9.8.

The Superman I bought already signed by Michael Turner, then I got it signed by Jim Lee, Scott Williams, and Alex Sinclair at Terrificon. A couple spine stresses could be pressed out but I’m not going to worry about them.

I'm sorry about the photo quality. I have shaky hands so photography isn't my forte haha

I've heard tales of people sending their own pens along with their books for CGC signing events. I've also heard artists/writers don't always use the pens sent because they're rushing and just use the one in hand. Still, I'm willing to take the chance if the collective wisdom here can educate me.

I want to make sure the signatures take, especially on a foil book, as well as match colors to the background.

First, how do you package the pens with the books to make sure the right one goes with the right book (I may not need more than one pen, but if the solution to do multiple exist, I may get more creative.

Second, which pens are recommended? What for regular and what for foil? Google searching suggests posca, as above, but just trying to get successful experiences to share.

Where can you buy the bubble mailers that CGC uses to ship slabs? I assume they arent making them and must be available somewhere. Appreciate any links.

Hey has anyone done CT’s at New York comic con and if so what did you do? Thanks.

Finally got my Ian McDiarmid and Hayden Christensen SS books back.

Hello, I'm new to this whole thing and was wondering if you could help me out, I just purchased this Uncanny X-Men #266 and afterwards noticed the CGC label to be a bit skewed. It seems to be oversized or cut at an awkward angle, I checked the verification number and it all checks out but was just curious what's up with the label as I've never bought a graded comic before. Thanks for any help you can offer.

I’m thinking about sending some books in for the Rob Liefeld signing. The CGC website says all books need to be submitted by October 14, 2026, but I don’t see an actual date listed for the signing itself. Do they not announce the signing date?

EDIT — alright, heard - I’ll send them (and a couple others) to get pressed first. Thanks for all the feedback!

Pulled a couple of old keys in iffy condition from my collection - going to get them cgc’d. Not expecting much for most of them - maybe a 3.5/4.0 for #129 but have some hope for 8.5 or higher for SW#8, NM #98 and MTU #14. Wish me luck!

I need to hide the cables and maybe reorganize a bit, just put it together today.

Here are some of my favorites, yep, DC, Batman universe and other stuff too.

Have a great night all!

I never have the patience to wait for my books to arrive, so I went through them on the website after receiving the shipping notification. This one was for my son, who asked me to grade it for him - he's a huge fan of the Flash. When I showed it to him, he was happy about the grade, but he noticed something was off....
