This listing is for an original Silver Surfer sketch by Stan Lee, which was drawn in the presence of CGC. Stan Lee also signed the piece and wrote Galactus! The sketch was done on a white comic backer board that measures approximately 9.9 inches x 6.7 inches. The board was sealed in a thin plastic sleeve by CGC to guarantee its authenticity.
This is a special piece for the serious collector - if you've been collecting for a while, you know that it was beyond rare for Stan Lee to do anything other than provide simple autographs. I've never seen another Stan Lee Silver Surfer sketch witnessed by CGC. Please be aware that if you crack a comic out of its case for re-submission to a grading service, you are taking the risk in doing so, and we cannot be liable if you do not like how it is regraded.Broad selection & fair prices. We make every effort to disclose non-trivial damage to the holders, but minor imperfections such as light surface wear or slight inner well scuffing (present at the time of encapsulation) are common straight from CGC/CBCS/PGX. Newton Rings are also extremely common in newly slabbed CGC books (CGC tried to better protect the books by sandwiching them tighter in the cases, but as a result, a very large portion of newly slabbed books have some degree of rings). If these are important to you, please message and we'll be happy to provide more detail on the case. For those unfamiliar with Newton Rings: This is an occasional effect produced by the inner and outer cases being in direct contact with one another.
The visual effect is similar to oil on a water puddle because of the two plastics. Ultimately it is not anything that is in direct contact with your comic, nor will it affect the comic's condition over time.
