My 1 of 1, only SS 9.8 of Sex Criminals 14 signed and quoted by Katie Cook. Had to post this. It makes me laugh every time. 

Billy Tucci did this Cap fighting Black Cat back in 2007 when he was doing the Hero's for Hire run during Civil War.  Still have it framed in the house.

So a similar issue happened to me at C2E2 this year.  Not so much for a signing, but I was picking up sketches from artist that did covers for me, but one was not finished so a CGC witness went with me and once we collected everything but the last book they took them and put them in what is basically an evidence bag (used by police) that has a seal on it.  They had cards that they signed with the artist name and sealed them in the bag as well as signing the bag.  They told me to hold on to the bag and do not open it.  Once the other artist finished my last book they took me to get it and then opened the bag in their presence.  I filled out the paperwork at the CGC booth and that's all there was to it.   Just make sure you get the witness to go with you.

The Jee Hyung Lee cover is nice.  Preordered that one.

Known defects.  Foxing front top and back top cover, chipping top right of front cover, minor spine stress breaks color, and 1/8inch tear back cover. 

9.2-9.4

5.5-6.0 leaning more to 5.5

1. CCS will review if the restoration is removable if you send it to them prior to cracking the slab.  IF they cant tell you because they can not see the restoration (such as in the interior of the book), they will inform you prior to cracking the slab.  Some restoration can not be fixed such as cover trims.

2. It can, it depends on what the restoration is.

I will tell you from experience that removing restoration almost always lowers the grade of the book

fingers crossed for a 4.0.  Subscription crease was always going to keep this in the mid to low grade.  Thanks everyone.

So  I don't have this in hand yet, it is still on its way from merry old England (it does have the 10p stamp on the front).  What I do know is that the centerfold is in tact.  Two of the interior pages have a small 1/4" tear as seen in the photos and on page has a small 1/2" crease.  I will be sending this off to be pressed.

that happens when one book has a witnessed signature and a signature that was not witnessed.
