I am unaware of where it came from. I find it interesting there are a lot less with the yellow leafs, even in past sales. Im beginning to think 1st or 2nd print? It could be a possibility that the yellow and green were sold or placed in different areas but had same print date. I am shocked this hasn't been a topic yet on the leaf color... 

Alright boys and girls, bringing this topic back from the DEAD. I have another variant I would like to point out for the mini comic. Only difference I could find is the leaf color. One is green and one is yellow. Any insight on this? Check the attachments.

  It's one of the great Batman covers.....let's just get that out there.....now I didn't know when you send in for autographs that they re-grade the book ......WOW.....I thought they would just get it signed and reslab.....No Idea that you could send a book in at one grade and possibly get a worse grade sent back to you.......It sounds like there is some risk involved with getting autographs.......and some reward if your lucky....

exactly, I happened to be on the lucky side but then again looking at it. I am legitimately scared to have decarlo sign it. I wouldnt want a 9.4 or 9.2 signed by all 3. I know 9.8 is close to impossible but I would settle for the 9.6 then I would be the most happy !

  I would be scared to death of getting that 9.4 back.......but to have all three on this book and have it as a 9.6 is a Home Run. This is an example I believe that grading has been some-what eased as of lately.....It can get damaged during the encapsulation process....this is a glorified conundrum.....I think it would come back these days as a 9.6 ...but like you said there are some small issues with the book.

I was stoked when I got it back from Starlins at a 9.6 

Originally sent in for Todd got a 9.4 & resubmitted for Starlin and got a 9.6 I would love to send it in for Decarlo but I am unsure if I will get a 9.6 or higher considering the minor flaws. I would be happy with a 3x signed 9.6 but I am extremely hesitant. Should I keep it 2x signed and not send it in?

As per the title I have a TMNT 3 Universal Label with ""Eastman"" & ""Laird"" written on interior cover in pen that I submitted (uncracked) for the Eastman witnessed signing. I have done some research and some are saying that if it was a neat signature it will come back just signature series WITHOUT the qualified label. I have also read that it will definitely come back with qualified signature series label. The issue I am finding is that all those posts were from 2014 - 2015. Nothing more recent on the subject. The Cert Number is: 1263901001 I have also read that it will effect the grade if I want it to come back a signature series non qualified label which I am okay with. I can see the indents on the pen from the front cover. Hopefully a press and clean may bump up the grade 1 or 2 points. The book got originally graded in 2014. Has there been a policy change recently? I definitely do not want the qualified label at all. I would rather not have it signed then honestly. Any help is GREATLY appreciated. Thank you!

Book looks really nice! Concerned about the slight stain on the back bottom left corner. Have a close up of that corner and that inside corner. What does everyone think? Thanks for your time! 

Alrighty friends. I have a 8.0 Batman 251 (Neal Adams Cover) WITH pen on the cover. Thankfully its on the white part of the cover! I purchased the grader notes and it is definitely a grade bump candidate with just a press/clean. I would like to know if it is possible to completely remove the pen writing? It looks to be from a ball point pen. I attached pictures of the actual book and notes. Let me know your thoughts. Would really like a big bump in grade! My goal is to get this signed by Neal Adams one day. Lets say it is impossible to remove the ink completely, what would happen if I asked him to sign it exactly where the pen marking was? Let me know your thoughts!! Thanks!!

I have a really nice copy of Shazam #1 

Obviously would love to get a 9.8 but do not think its possible with the bottom right corner has a tiny tiny piece missing. Not sure if it is a manufacturer error. No spine ticks. There some dirt / scuffs on the edge of the spine. Appreciate the honest replies!! 
 

Thanks!!

Thanks for all the responses! Okay, uploaded all the pictures. Seller wants 15k for it. My ultimate goal is to crack it and get it pressed & cleaned to try and get that 9.8!

I will get some and forward it to you. The stress lines wont come out if it gets pressed?

I have a 9.6 old CGC label graded from 2001. I purchased the grader notes and I am wondering if it is possible to get a 9.8 considering the notes below:

Right Center Front Cover Small Lite Wear
Right Top Front Cover Small Lite Finger Bends
Spine Small Lite Multiple Stress Lines
Top Back Cover Small Lite Wear

Thanks in advance!
