A new option for signatures—both graded and non-graded.

My initial offer to sign books by mail here in the Philippines was problematic. Both US collectors and I realized that the cost of FedEx shipping, including prepaid return, was too expensive to justify sending just a few books. After much thought and after huddling with Jeff at Vault Collectibles, I believe we have a more affordable solution.

To ease the shipping burden, Vault Collectibles will consolidate multiple collectors’ books into a single shipment originating from the US. In addition, they are able to accept both non-graded books and those intended for CGC Signature Series grading.

Jeff provided the following details.

Vault Collectibles is proud to partner with legendary artist Mike Zeck to offer both CGC Signature Series grading and signed/ungraded options. As Mike’s official CGC Artist Representative, I’m able to facilitate secure and reliable mail-in signings between the U.S. and the Philippines.

The challenge: Shipping a single comic book to and from the Philippines using FedEx (Mike’s required shipping method) typically costs $200 or more—just for shipping.

Our solution: Vault Collectibles, located in Georgia, consolidates shipments from multiple collectors into a single international package. This allows us to significantly reduce shipping costs for fans submitting just one or a few books—though we’re happy to accept larger submissions as well!

What’s Still Closed? - My CLOSED status still applies to covers, interiors, commissions, remarques, long-distance convention travel, podcasts, and print or virtual interviews or events. And, a reminder that I don’t have any original art pages here, nor any sketches “just lying around.” ;-)
