This was insightful and fun. Thanks for doing it, Jeff. I'm sorry to have to voice a no-vote for the signing at the grading companies. I'm a firm believer that comics are for reading. When collectors encapsulate a book they think they are capturing its value forever. My unpopular opinion is that if you can't turn the pages you have stripped the book of all its value. I could go on ad nauseam upon this subject. I have your signature on quite a few of your books because we both went to the same cons (in Maine, sponsored by the great Casablanca Comics, remember?). I can still open those books to read myself, and/or entice someone with the contents if I want. Since you asked, my opinion is for you to just keep doing what you've been doing and leave the grading companies out of it.

On the topic of a private signing, I would be interested if sketches/sketch covers were offered since there is usually less time for sketching at cons.

I certainly prefer to meet creators at cons though. Especially if I can avoid upcharges for CGC books.
