First off, I apologize if I dont know what I am talking about. I am new to this whole grading process, but want to learn more.
My father is an artist, not a world renowned one, but he is exceptional. I gave him a blank variant batman and asked him to do a sketch cover for me so I can send in to be graded and sealed. Thought it’d be cool to have his name on a CGC slab. I understand the process for sending in comics but I want it to be graded as a signature series comic.
My question is how would I go about getting the cover witnessed by a CGC rep? As I said before, he is not a big name, so he doesnt go around to conventions and sell prints and commissions and such. He does custom airbrush and is an amazing sketch artist.
Would I have to bring him to a convention to sign his cover in front of a rep?
Can he sign it w/o a rep and send it in for a SS grading?
Any info helps. Thanks in advance.
Hopefully, by the time these questions are answered, the cover will be done and I can post for everyone.
