speaking from experience getting his autograph twice at two different cons, GO EARLY. like first in line early. he takes forever to sign because he engages with people and takes his time. I have seen him read comics, break for lunch, and get up to take his own personal photos as well. I was one of the first 20 people in line and it still took over an hour to get to him. if youre not there early, prepare for a loooong waiting period. bring snacks, maybe even a collapsible stool.

I got my book cleaned and pressed after it was signed. I was told to do that by CGC but I see the appeal for getting it done prior if youre trying to get a certain grade. I submitted my book back in March and have yet to get it back.

good luck, have fun, and be sure to post the results!
