I've thought about doing this on personal collection books.

 

Like my Daredevil #1 or Crow #1.

 

I don't have to worry about cracking it out of the case and worry that it may come back a lower grade. What does it matter if it's witnessed if I'm just going to keep it. Then if I ever decide to sell, the new buyer could always reslab it.

I've had a few slabs signed. I personally don't like SS books, so this way I can get the artists autograph and still have a nice looking book. When I do sell them the new owner can just take any glass cleaner and wipe it off if they don't like it.

 

The only time I will ever get the actual book signed is if it is a low grade copy.

Showing me this was like handing a loaded gun to a three year old.

 

I think this may be my 'Longcat II"

What if they slab the slab and graded the slab.... too :o :o :o

 

 

don't forget you will need to press the slab that is being graded before it is slabbed! - gotta straighten out that plastic.......

Nothing a bottle of window spray wouldn't fix. :devil:

 

Or even a piece of packaging tape. Stick it on, press all the bubbles out, wait a few seconds, then lift it off. The sig will come right with it, I'd bet.

 

:D

You have to get the heating technique right, hot enough to make it soft, but not so hot it starts to melt...

Would using ScratchX be considered restoration?

The triple GPA asking price should offend you more than someone signing on a plastic case. lol

What if CGC started encapsulating signed slabs to avoid SS directly on the comic

 

Why not just have the writer/artist sign a thin piece of archival plastic and place that inside the slab?
