All New X-Men #1 Blank Sketch Variant CGC 9.8 Signature Series comic book, from Marvel Comics which is signed by the late Neal Adams (X-Men, Avengers, Batman etc.), the Legendary comics artist who added a great piece of original artwork to the front cover featuring a Logan head sketch!
This is original artwork commissioned from an A-lister professional artist, who worked for DC and Marvel Comics for decades - it is NOT a pre-printed cover.
Neal Adams was renowned for his classic artwork on the X-Men, Avengers, Batman and Detective Comics series and charged hundreds of dollars for an original artwork commission like this.
It has been professionally graded by CGC, the largest independent comic grading company in the world, and slabbed in a sealed protective case.
The grade is guaranteed to be high investment grade 9.8 (NEAR MINT/MINT) and this is a yellow label CGC Signature Series, which means that an authorised CGC representative witnessed the signing & artwork being created and this also acts as a Certificate Of Authenticity.
As soon as the comic is signed, it is removed by a CGC authorised party and submitted straight to CGC for grading and encapsulation, guaranteeing the authenticity of the signature and the artwork.
You can check the validity of this item and the signature & artwork by entering the 10 digit number on the label at the CGC web-site at www.cgccomics.com
There are no cracks on the case. Any glare in the image is just the scanner on the CGC case, which can cause reflection.
