SET DETAILS
Owner's Description
I submitted this book myself. It was received at CGC on 7 June 2023 for the signing that was to take place in July. This book was not graded until 8 December 2024!
When I started seeing books from this signing on eBay, while mine hadn't moved an inch through the process, I began to worry. After contacting CGC Customer Service several times they finally told me that Mr. Jurgens was not able to finish all of the books in July as scheduled, and that mine was one that was not finished. In my opinion that is very NOT cool! I was (and still am) super disappointed that CGC apparently oversells signings to the point that the artist doesn't even finish your books when promised (and in the time frame you paid for!).
I was eventually told around October 2023 that all of the remaining books had been sent to Dan to finish, then around November I was told they were finally done. Remember that when you pay for a signing that you are also told you will get a compressed pressing/grading timeframe. My book was finally received/in process at CGC (again) on 5 December 2023 and then sat at scheduled for grading for another month... before finally being graded on 8 January 2024! So much for that quick turnaround promised!
The extremely ridiculous thing about this book is that it says that it was signed and sketched on 29 July 2023!! If that was the case then what took from 29 July 2023 until 8 January 2024 to grade this book!? I think it is more likely that this book was signed and sketched around October/November 2023 timeframe. Man, it is stuff like this that really gets me down about CGC sometimes and makes me question my commitment to this company... they just do whatever they want, and treat you however they want and you are expected to just take it. One of these days I am afraid that they will cross my line of disappointment and all this time collecting CGC graded books will have become a mistake... I really hope that doesn't happen. Such a bummer submission experience with this book!
On the bright side I do like the Doomsday sketch that Mr. Jurgens provided on this book! I wish it was more obvious, but to be honest, this cover wasn't much of a canvas to work with as it is pretty busy. I absolutely LOVE the choice of the yellow signature on this book! Although I was hoping for a 9.8 (because I could have used this book to provide my competitive set a small bump), I am pleased with this grade overall. I love all of the printings of this book and am now very happy to have this sketched and signed copy of this rare fourth printing in my collection!
