I was told by the promoter that a CGC faciliator will be in booth 145.  The location isn't there yet, but the CGC rep with a link to the CGC Comics website is on the list of vendors now:

Sorry, I was hoping to send a book to a facilitator. Thank you though.

Some of us focused on the wrong books at the time.

NICE !!

 

Are you having him sign the BACK cover ?

 

 

Yes. Hopefully right across the chest.

I am looking forward to getting this one back!

I was hoping to get a Karen Allen sig on a book, but no one I know of seems to be facilitating.

What does this mean?

JSA does not authenticate aftermarket sketches. If the autograph is authentic, and it is determined that the sketch will negatively impact the overall grade of the comic, the comic will receive a CGC Qualified green label. Alternatively, if it is determined that the sketch will not negatively impact the grade of the comic, the comic will receive the CGC x JSA Authentic Autograph label. If the autograph is not genuine, the comic will receive the CGC Universal blue label. In all scenarios, the label text and grader notes will indicate the outcome of JSA’s evaluation and state that a sketch is present on the comic.

I guess I have to wait and see qualified samples to know.
Ugh.

I would hope that CGC/JSA would authenticate the signature as that of George Perez. Since the sharpie on the front has made markings on what would otherwise be a 9.8 book, hopefully the other marker additions would not decrease the grade. I am looking forward to seeing how CGC interprets this. @MattM CS

IMO, CGC is missing an opportunity by not also including an "Art" or "Sketch" option with both their Witnessed and JSA programs. There are quite a few awesome sketch covers that for some reason or another just can't get a higher grade. CGC already offers a NG option/scenario for sketch covers that have major flaws. I know that I would much prefer my sketch cover with multiple ink marks that is witnessed or JSA verified to be "Sketch" or "Art" than to be a graded 7.0.  @MattM CS

So, my 9.8 Green (Name written on cover) slabs all have to be regraded?

Gotham Comics are usually there.

Is anyone facilitating this show?

Back from Official Pix…..

OK....This is awesome!

Asking for some help on the signatures/sketches on this one. Jeff Balke colored the front. Any help on the others?

Moved

Thanks to @Par2ch for the help on this one.

Not exactly a book that is flying off the shelf, but I was surprised that this was the only CGC signed book on the census.

First printing of L&R #14 for comparison.

Only copy on the census.

Aquaman sketch cover by Luis Bravo s/s Jason Mamoa. $450 shipped to CONUS. PayPal.

Anyone know if Arthur has finished the final 100 comic remarques?

From what I have heard, Arthur completed his last 100 sketch/remarks this past week and all outstanding books are in CGC's hands.
