Ah yes forgot to include that. Rudy AO

Would love to get a commission but have to weigh the cost of sending a black to Indonesia and then back to the states for CGC.  Always a concern when shipping overseas….but awesome cover!

CGC took their time with this one. I'm also confused why it come back a green label... I'm checking with their rep to see if something got messed up. Hopefully, it can be redone as a yellow label.

Yeah, and the same company has sent in books before for me, so I'm not sure if the paperwork was forgotten or what.
It just went into Shipped today, so I'm going to contact support on Monday.

Who did you use for facilitating? Plus, you had a tape pull on the top right at the "R" that was the reason for the downgrade. Ideally, that should not happen.

I'm not sure its a tape pull, it looks like its part of the artwork. There are several other of those movement "lines" or whatever we want to call them.

That is unquestionably a tape pull. Here is the blank. Sh** happens. Whoever did the signing needs to man up. There are options for correcting this, but the Green label is more of a dropped ball though.

InkInk Collectibles, I've never had a problem with them in the past.

And to be clear I'm not really concerned about the tape pull or the grade. I care more about the art being witnessed and being recognized on the label. If that means a Green/Yellow combo it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. (To me at least.)

I'll make sure to post an update when I get some answers though.

I don't see Inkink on any CGC list of authorized facilitators.

Yeah, again, they've sent books in for me in the (recent) past.

I also don't think that list is exhaustive, because I've had other art reps send in books that aren't on there. 4C, for example.
