nriccijr Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Does anyone know how something like this would grade? Would it get an "NG" since it is not a comic, or would they actually grade it?https://www.ebay.com/itm/Comic-Con-Collector-Blank-Variant-For-Convention-Signings-Commissions-NM-SDCC/152841664161?hash=item239612b6a1:g:ODUAAOSwEetV7iD5 Also, does anyone know if the Game of Thrones or Clash of Kings blanks are matte, or is 1 more matte than the other?

Just curious if you would consider using something like that made for commissions for your ASH pieces instead of blanks where you can sometimes see a random unrelated logo through the artwork. To me grade means nothing for artwork/celebs, but it does help if I needed to sell something. I wish CGC had a "NG" option for art/SS if you simply wanted just authentication and no grade (would be great for magazines which are rarely 9.6) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that being said if something were to happen to me, wife, kids, family, etc...or I pass them down (might be buried with a few....hahaha) graded pieces would be easier to sell than NG pieces and fetch a higher price in my opinion.

It should come back with an NG grade however it could also come back with no grade like photos and backing board sketches do. Go to the Ask CGC sub and you should get an answer from CGC. https://www.cgccomics.com/boards/forum/23-ask-cgc/ Edited June 13, 2018 by TYPE-R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would not be able to see custom the art in the book? Also you would have to get each item in the book witnessed. I guess I dont understand why get this type of thing instead of a blank cover?

I doubt that he is referencing getting art done inside the book and then having it slabbed. Mainly because you can use the entire space without worrying about logos, trade dress, etc....I often have Ash cover the entire book with paint so that he can use the entire space if I am using regular comic blanks.

Yes, thank you. I want a blank book for something that does not have a comic series and I do not like having other unrelated logos all over the place......it bothers my collecting OCD. I plan on using these just for the cover, treating it as a regular blank cover comic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
