Sig Series Submission - Quick Question re: backing Boards and Covers 1 1

[DavidNL]

Hi Everyone,

I am putting together my first submission for the Sig Series with Todd McFarlane.

Quick question: Should I add a backing board behind the front cover to prevent the signature from imprinting the book's pages?

Any help / suggestions are appreciated.

Also, in case you didn't know, CGC asks that you put your books in "window" bags. Here is a thread which explains how to do it:
