I had no idea Noto's codename was "Knockout" or "Doc Savage"

 

He may be a relatively small man, but don't judge the book by the cover! Knockout Noto!

sorry, that reads harshly and I wasn't trying to be a spoon

 

I don't even have 10 post yet and I've been told off.

No worries... We're all big boys here.

Groovy. I may be a big boy but I think it may be nap nap time.

 

later folks!

Better to slab a page of original art than a comic book, which you can no longer read once graded.

 

True . . .

 

Though I still find the idea of slabbed OA pages laughable.

We call them framed!

What about a simple Frazetta or Frank Miller drawing... No handy camera back then.

 

And you are going to believe a COA from CGC

 

All of the COA stuff is pretty much worthless. Look at all the certified baseball stuff that ends up being a forgery.

Also, CGC already grades con sketches, ridiculously enough.

 

Are you talking about the sketch cover stuff?

No, and "grades" is the wrong word, sorry. I meant this stuff:

 

 

wow, people actually pay money to get a con sketch entombed versus just buying a mylar

 

I think this does have a function.

 

So many fake sketches floating around. This is about as rock solid proof that the sketch was done by who the seller says it was done by.

 

This isn't so you know, but when you're ready to resell... or flip.

Now it makes sense. (thumbs u

Leaving aside the notion of grading a piece of art (which I think is completely unnecesary) : how do people feel about having a lightweight, hard storage case for their 11x17 pages?

 

I'd love to have something more supportive than a rigid sleeve, and had some way of closing it to keep loose debris out, and something I would feel comfortable carting around or letting someone handle.

 

I have only a few loose pages, and they are just lying in my flat file - it'd be great to have a way to at least leave them out for viewing or a way to box them upright for display.

Not sure, will CGC do a DNA test to verify Ed Hannigan attached the text box with Scotch tape? I think personal provenance will rule. JMHO, David
