Presigned Variant by Cover Artist, Qualified Label? 1 1

[paullam15]

I'm not sure how common this is, but I came across Angel: After the Fall #10 SDCC Exclusive variant where every copy is already presigned by the cover artist Alex Garner. This is even printed on the back cover stating that this SDCC exclusive is signed. If I were to send this in I'm assuming I'm getting a Qualified label even though the point of this variant is that it is signed by the cover artist? I checked the census and there are only Qualified and SS Yellow label graded copies of this variant. Is there no exceptions in these situations to get a SS Yellow label?

Hello @paullam15,

Unfortunately, this book would receive a Green Qualified Label because our team did not witness the signature or the transfer of this book to the customer when it was released back in 2008. I am sorry for this inconvenience.
