Had a great SDCC 2013 myself. Can't believe this was my 25th consecutive year attending. Didn't think I was that old. Picked up OA, Commissions, sketches, a sketch cover a sketch card by:

Humberto Ramos, Francisco Herrera, Jorge Molina, Michael Dooney, Adam Hughes, Joe Mad! and a cast signed Captain America: The Winter Soldier poster!

I'll just post a few here, the rest will be in my CAF gallery.

First off Jorge Molina:

[Bomfy]

Philip Tan Bomfy

 

 

 

 

Thanks for getting that for me Doug. It's stellar. Tan just killed it with all of them.

Stuart Sayger-Joker

 

 

As a collector of Joker covers, I gotta say - this blows my mind. Stuff the grade, this is the coolest sketch cover I've seen yet.

 

 

Huge congrats spanfiend if you're the lucky owner!!

 

If only CGC could slab a book like this open!!

[Niro]

Philip Tan Niro

 

 

 

So glad I decided to get a spot for Phillip Tan...Thanks Doug!!

I love when Sayger goes nuts on blank covers. Reminds me of the Magneto cover where he removed the staples from the spine and stuck them in the middle of the cover as if Magneto was moving them with his power, that one was awesome.

 

[edit] Found it!

Congrats to everyone on the sweet art. Especially love the Tan Wolverine and Dave's Clay Mann.

One more to share...not from SDCC

So the painted cover from Dynamic Forces counts as a defect..

[Erndog]

The other Avengers Invaders Dynamic Forces cover I saw was a 5.5.

 

Can anyone explain what the problems are?

[devilsrain]

No one can explain it properly

[Ultramanking]

So the painted cover from Dynamic Forces counts as a defect..

 

I think so

[dscott]

Becuse the painting wasnt witnessed by CGC when it was done it counts as a defect. The reason it got a yellow label is because of the sharpie Signautre that was witnessed at our private signing in Chicago this year.

[devilsrain]

Yea but how do you come up with 6.5 and 5.5 for an unwitnessed drawing.

 

FYI its a rhetorical question

Sorry for the bad picture

 

[devilsrain]

Sweet! Im surprised we havent seen more

I was really excited how this one turned out:

Even still, thats a big discrepancy between 5.5 and 6.5 for, essentially, the same defect. I'd be surprised if there were other defects on the 5.5 that totalled and justified a full grade lower.

 

Either way, it's a sketch... grades be damned! Cool books!!!

I was really happy at how my first sketch cover turned out:

Love seeing everyone's sketches here. After picking this one up, I realized I'll definitely be getting many more done in the future. Look forward to post more in this thread.

 

Also big huge thanks to the entire CGC staff. Thanks for helping me with so many books. Especially Luis from Heroes Haven who not only worked his way through the crazy crowds with me for most of the weekend, but also helped me get a couple extra signatures that weren't on my radar. Thanks again to everyone.
