Yellow Label Image 25 Blank Variant Question | CBCS Comics

I think I'm agreeing with you.

In any event, say I have an undated sketch by Ron Lim on a Silver Surfer #37 blank (I have neither, and the Surfer doesn't exist.)

He did it a couple days ago, or two months ago, or in 2015. When doesn't matter; only that it hasn't been in Ron's possession that whole time.

I walk up to Ron in 2017, and say "hey, remember this sketch you did?"

Ron, who is totally awesome, says "Yeah! That was fun!"

I say to Ron "hey, would you mind having me bring someone over and you confirm that you drew that for me?"

Ron "Sure, no problem!"

Now, again, I don't know how that particular process works, because I don't deal in commissioned sketches, but my understanding is, artists get them, work on them, and when they're done, the AW comes to their table, picks it up, and off it goes, into a yellow label.

If one was nefarious, one could say "hey, Ron, would you mind telling them that you drew this today?" Ron might agree, he might not...but it's a loophole that someone will take advantage of, if they haven't already.

It is one of the 25 sketches that were done and shipped in the Blind Boxes. If CBCS allows the artist in question to sign the form stating that it was drawn by him, and that form and the book are given to CBCS either by the artist in question or by the artist handing off both the book and the form to a witness at a convention to be handed in at the CBCS booth. I'm a bit lost why it can't receive a yellow label as a graded comic. I don't think that an artist is going to sign a form stating they drew something that they didn't draw. I guess the first step is to send the guy in charge of CBCS's yellow label program an email asking about it. Then move from there.

	That's true, you could have it witnessed signed again, and then ART label yellow. No grade hit, because there is no grade. Good job @shrewbeer

	Does anyone else see the gaping hole that a truck can be driven through in this scenario...? You have a book...already sketched. You, Joe Blow, have it in your possession. You hand it to the artist. You say "I know you did this, and you know you did this...would you mind handing it back to CBCS yourself?" If you can convince the artist to do that, then there's nothing stopping anyone from doing this. The artist need only do whatever it is that artists do (I don't deal with these types of situations) to be "yellow label confirmed", and the book goes in a yellow label. The "this left the chain of custody" is still true. The goal is to discourage loopholes, not encourage them. It would seem the best scenario here would be to accept the artist's witness, regardless of when the book was done. Otherwise, you're encouraging people to do a work around with books that aren't in chain of custody control.

	@DocBrown I'm not sure if you are agreeing or disagreeing with my point of view. Lol

	The current rules encourages deception just to get something recognized for what it always was, an original piece of art by so and so artists. Accepting an artist as witness to their own work regardless of time removes a motive for deceptive behavior.
