Superman Batman #8 Second Print Sketch Variant (2004) CGC 9.6 Signature Series comic book, published by DC Comics, which is signed by Michael Turner, the late cover and story artist who did his first work for DC Comics on this issue!
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 investment grade 9.6 (NEAR MINT+) and this is a yellow label CGC Signature Series, which means that an authorised CGC representative witnessed the signing 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.
You can check the validity of this item and the signature by entering the 10 digit number on the label at the CGC web-site.
There are no cracks on the case. Any glare is just the scanner on the CGC case, which can cause reflection. There is very minor discolouration of the thin sticker label on the top edge of the CGC case with age.
