Put it in a nice Mylar and top loader and enjoy it for what it is.

The book IMHO won't even recoup the grading fee's


I just think having it graded and verified would make it look even better than it is, and if I decide to sell it in the future (you can never say no), would make the book much more valuable.

If I do send it in for grading (whenever they approve of Natalia), doesn't CBCS tell you what grade it got and then if you wish to slab it, then slab it?

I hear you, and agree, I guess spending all that money and then coming back less than a 9.8 would seem like a waste of money, but what happens if my book might be a 9.8? Any way to tell?

dielinfinite, thank you for the link to the Comic Skin, I may grab one and keep my comic safe until the one day they may (or may not) have Natalia's signature in their database!

@AW177 You can do a "Grade Screen" where you indicate that you don't want the book graded unless it meets a minimum grade, which you can specify to be 9.8.

Thank you dielinfinite for the link to that Comic Skin, looks pretty cool - gonna give that a try while waiting for CSA to update their database. David (president of CSA) told me that the next time Natalia is at a con/event and CBCS is too, they will try to get her signature and add it to their database, so it may be a while before that happens!!

UPDATE: so thanks to the suggestion from dielinfinite, I ordered a slab from Comic Skin and created my own header with some info about the comic, details of the signing, and added an Agents of SHIELD logo. While I would prefer to actually get my comic verified and slabbed one day, with the Comic Skin I can have a great display piece and be protected until the day I can finally get this verified! Thanks all for your help!

Book looks absolutely Fantastic in the Comic skin Slab! and the custom label really gives it great looking appeal! Much nicer than any plain jane 3rd party slab IMHO.
