About the item:

Signed by hand by legendary comic creator George Perez, this comic is professionally graded by CGC and is part of their special Signature Series.  With Signature Series books a certified witness, employed by CGC, actually observes the signing of the comic and then immediately takes possession of the book so there is no possibility of the real autograph being switched out with another. It will  be shipped with the utmost care.

REGARDING CGC CASES: 

CGC is an independent, third-party grading service that grades and then encapsulates comic books.  This encapsulation process has potential inherent results.  These include, but are not limited to, either the left, right, or both sides of the outer case not being sealed completely, an appearance of waviness, or the existence of Newton’s Rings (an interference pattern created by the reflection of light between two surfaces) that can appear and are frequently mistaken for moisture or oil inside the case (in actuality, this effect is between the inner softer plastic shell and the outer, hard plastic shell and are not on the book itself).  These and other results can occur during the encapsulation process.  These effects, however, do not in any way affect the book itself or its designated grade. These inherent features of CGC cases can be difficult if not impossible to see in a photo or scan of the book and, as the seller does not regard them as relevant concerning his own collection of CGC graded books, does not look for or make special note of them in the auction description. 

Additionally, but not limited to, there can also occur, during shipping, small pieces of loose plastic left over from the encapsulation process to jar loose and rattle around inside the case.  It is even possible for the inner soft plastic case that holds the book to become somewhat loose during the shipping process and slightly move inside the outer, hard plastic case.  As the CGC book is tightly encapsulated inside the soft plastic case, this will not result in damage to the book. Any such encapsulation issue is part and parcel to comics graded by CGC and the seller is not responsible in any way for such issues as the buyer is purchasing the comic book itself in the designated grade and the buyer shall agree that the case exists to protect the book, guaranteeing the integrity and validity of its assigned grade and that no guarantee as to the esthetics of the case itself exists. Again, as the seller does not regard any of these issues as relevant concerning his own collection, he does not look for or make special note of them in the auction description. 

Obviously, if the CGC case is damaged during shipping - such as the case itself arriving cracked - an insurance claim with USPS will be filed for funds sufficient to ship the book to CGC for re-encapsulation and return shipping to the buyer.  If the book is actually damaged, the insurance claim will cover the full value of the book. Once the claim is processed and paid, these funds will then be sent to the buyer.  If you are sensitive to any of the above outlined issues regarding CGC cases (poorly sealed sides, Newton’s Rings, general imperfections in the plastic case, slight movement of the interior soft-plastic case inside the outer shell, etc.) please contact me before bidding/buying.
