Another CGCed SS comic

Well I've done it again. The search for these Signature Series comics are not easy. Especially if you're picky about who signs them. This one has more of a busy cover and so the signatures seems a bit lost in them. But come on. how can you pass on a cover like this?
The cover itself is a wraparound piece. The art is not childish like some covers. Nor is it too adult oriented like some others. It's just got stuff everywhere, with that been said I'm really glad that at least one artist signed the cover in silver ink. The other two signatures are kinda lost and are harder to find. Nevertheless it's still a great comic one that I really enjoy having.

My first CGC comic book

I had stopped collecting comic books for a few years now. Not because I no longer enjoyed comic books. It definitely was not that I don't like the appeal of comic books. It was just so much harder to store.
Well, now I'm saying "I'm baaaack"
After a few years removed from comic book collecting. I decided to check ebay for some new comics. The first new thing I saw was CGC. Now I'm no stranger to grading collectibles since I collect baseball cards. But I was skeptical about it. That was until I laid my eyes on some shiny slabbed comics. Upon further investigating I saw a few more things, Signature Series.
Some of these books looks very nice but the signature looks lost in the colorful and fancy pictures. I decided to buy one and see how it was. I finally decided on a virgin cover comic book. Why virgin cover you ask? Well think about it. No messy titles, logos, date stamps and price box. This made the signatures look even more pretty. So I finally found one...

a pretty one too. Tomoe Commemorative CGC 9.8 three signatures.
My first CGCed book and it was signed. Now I just have to look even harder for those clean cover autographed comics.
