How to get your item signed through Mercenary Art?

 

On the back of your comic submissions or on a separate sheet with your submission please provide the following information, name, address, telephone number, email and the name / names of the creators that you would like to sign the item. Failure to provide this information may delay or prevent the completion of your request or the return of your item.

 

All orders MUST be paid in advance or a payment arrangement should be made with me prior to the event. For sketch requests please confirm a retainer prior to the event. Acceptable payments include PayPal, or personal check. Make checks out to Jake Mackessy. Send PayPal payments to mackessy_30@hotmail.com.

 

Ship the books to:

 

Jake Mackessy

106 N Lilly St.

Moscow, Id. 83843

 

Once you mail your items(s), please send an email to mackessy_30@hotmail.com. In the body of the email, list the books included in the shipment, the shipping method, and the tracking number. In the subject line of the email, enter "Books for [your name] and the event from which your item is to be signed". If you have any questions, contact us either via e-mail at mackessy_30@hotmail.com or call me at (208) 329-4042.

 

DISCLAIMER: All books will be handled with care but no grade is guaranteed. Previous grades cannot be guaranteed and while I am happy to crack slabs this provides even more opportunity for damage to the book and I cannot be held responsible for damage during the slab cracking process. It can be attested however that my slab cracking skills are very good, recently completing 11 books cracked and returned 9.8 from SDCC.
