Fees include prepping the book, cgc fees and shipping and insurance to CGC and back to you.
If you have never seen how we prep the books for singing you would be impressed. Each book is protected with 3 backing boards and on opening cut exactly where you want the artist to sign. This minimizes the chances of damge to the book during signing. We also request the artist to sign in an appropriate color that will show the best. (they don't always sign in the color we want but we try).
Fees do not include pressing. Email for details on this service.
Celebrity Signatures
We will also get you celebrity signatures at this show. Cost is higher than comic artist due to long lines and limited time these celebrity's sign at these shows.
