Does this actually work?

This is a link to an eBay auction of a Walking Dead 109 with a sketch done on the cover...

In the discription, it is listed that the book with come with a letter that "should" allow CGC to grade it properly. I didn't think that would be enough to warrant a yellow label. But rather would get a green. Am I wrong in this thinking?

No. It will not be a yellow label.

It would have to be shipped from the artist to CGC with a letter. No middle man. But also would need approval from CGC first like with mail away opps. Since it has left artist possession, then a green label it gets.

To be fair, the description doesn't actually mention getting a yellow label, though that's implied. "Properly" might simply mean "by CGC".

This looks to be an auction from Tom Hodges' own eBay account, so I guess it hasn't left the artist's possession yet. He would have to mail the book to CGC directly, and as stated, unless something is set up in advance and a minimum quantity is hit first, it won't receive a yellow label. Guess I'll need to talk to Tom at next months' Long Beach Expo.

I emailed him about this the other day and asked if he would be sending it to cgc himself and his response was "No. I provide the letter of confirmation as to the artist and when it was done. The CGC part is all on the buyer."
