Regarding the comics industry recent reholder scandal / scam, please note that all books I sell were submitted directly by me to CGC at various comic conventions (as well as the occasional private signing event).  I do not buy already graded books and then resell them.  So every CGC item I have for sale was graded by CGC and then came directly to me and not through another dealer.  Please further note that photos, prints, and original art sketches (that are not on actual comic books but are rather just on sketch paper or the like? i.e. anything certified by CGC that does not have a grade, are not searchable on their site by the serial number.  Only graded comics and magazines - items with grades - are searchable by serial number.  However, for such items not searchable on their site, you can call CGC Customer Service and they can verify the item authentication over the phone.  

This stunning original art sketch features the work of comics artist Tom Mandrake (Batman, Firestorm), illustrating the character he is perhaps best know for, The Spectre.  The sketch is certified authentic by CGC as part of their special Signature Series. With CGC’s Signature Series, a certified witness actually observes the signing/sketching and then immediately takes possession of the collectible so there is no chance for the real autograph/sketch being replaced or substituted. It measures approximately 9 by 12 inches (the CGC plastic protective sleeve it is encapsulated inside measures approximately 12 by 14 inches), is in excellent condition and will be shipped with the utmost care.
