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.
From fan-favorite and frequent creative collaborators John Romita, Jr. (pencils) and Scott Hanna (inks), this original art sketch features the Dark Knight Detective, Batman! It measures approximately 11 by 17 inches and is certified by CGC as part of their special Signature Series (this, in fact, is one of the sketches from CGC's in-house private signing event with the pair). Please note- this is an actual, original piece of art drawn by hand by Romita, Jr. and inked by hand by Hanna. It is not a copy, print or pre-printed image. It is a one-of-a-kind original.
Please note- as my scanner is not large enough to capture the entire piece of art and its CGC encapsulation sleeve, the first image marries the yellow label together with a scan of the art (and it therefore a little off from what it actually looks like in person). The second and third images, however, show a top-down scan, and then a bottom to top scan and, together, comprise the entire piece of art and its protective CGC encapsulation sleeve. The last scan shows the back of the art - there is a stray ink mark there as can be seen in the image. The sleeve itself measures approximately 14 1/2 by 19 1/2 inches.
