From what @Anthony is saying about catchphrases it sounds like we all need one!

I have submitted two of my own variants to CBCS over the years. The Solar Flare #1 CHU Baltimore comic con cover had art by Jeremy Abbott and colors by me. They credited the cover to someone else (series main artist). The Black #1 Chu cover had art by me and did not credit me as cover artist. I said F- it and let it go.
If you have any spare Black 1 CHU covers Iâd totally buy one to get you to sign one if I can get a yellow slab from CGC somehow with your sig. Theyâd have to go to your house or something I guess? Sounds creepy to think theyâre just watching you sign comics in your home tho.
You can meet up with @anthony at a con and do it at the CGC or CBCS desk.
Although theyâd probably still not credit @Anthony lol.
I can read the label now: âSigned by Some Guy at 2023 NY Comic Conâ
Hahahah!

In fact, will they do that? I I signed a comic and had someone authorized witness itâŠwould they put my name on the label?
That might be kinda cool.
lol its authenticated!
I resent that people like your catchphrase more than mine.
This is a pretty darn heavy statement from a President of a grading company. I mean seriously heavy. If he means it (seconds to grade) it explains all the 9.8âs Iâve received that should be 9.4; all the 9.4âs Iâve received that you canât find a freakinâ defect without an electron microscope. Because -⊠drumroll⊠theyâre spending seconds on a book. Well thank you for your services Matt.

I own two still, one hangs on my wall, I kept a copy of every variant I did years ago and they hang on the wall. I have one slabbed copy.
Makes sense. this would explain why some of the books I sent in where I was expecting 9.6 grades (one or two 9.4s) got a 9.8. Granted, there isnât a huge different in appearance with a 9.6 and a 9.8 but the re-sale price difference sure isnât small. Not complaining but it would be nice if CGC got things straightened out for the better.

If @agentpoyo needed a hill to die on itâd be his dislike of grading companies. My hill is forever arguing Predator 2 is even better than the first.
I donât necessarily dislike them, I think they can improve their services. I mostly dislike their inconsistent quality of service to consumers.
The thing I dislike more is people buying slabs instead of buying the comics inside the slab. Buy the comic, not the slab. Do you collect comics or slabs? Seems like people who buy graded comics arenât collecting comics, theyâre collecting slabs with labels in them that just happen to have a comic within as well.

You need to share whatever you smoking.
Iâm one of the rare people who enjoyed both just as equally⊠so I wouldnât necessarily say one is better than the other. 
Itâs the Predator, in the city! With Danny Glover, Bill Paxton, and more great talent. Itâs just so fun.
