[kaholo1256]

Got this done by Michael Dooney at SDCC 2013.

 

He really does some amazing work. Can't wait to get my SDCC one back from CGC.

I was just flipping through the census on X-Men 1 and saw that the sketch variant has 2 restored at 9.6. This is very confusing to me. Why would you put resto on a book thats only a couple of years old?

Maybe there is some color touch on the cover!

That is probably not too far off from the truth. I have a Justice League 1 blank that is a 9.6 Restored SS. I asked Mr. Balent about that because I had never heard of such a thing. He was quite a gentleman and replied quickly to my question. His response was:

 

I asked the graders about that. Color breaks were colored in with a marker on the edge of the book. The graders treated that as color touch. I asked if it could be considered as part of the artwork, they said "not possible"

 

There were a few marks that made it onto the first page of the comic from the blank, so I guess this is what was considered to be color touched. Although I do have others that this happened to and they just got a grade drop.

For years, I've been wanting to get a set of sketches from John Cassaday featuring the entire team from his run on Astonishing X-Men run with Joss Whedon. With a lot of help, I was able to finish this up at Baltimore.
