Oversized magazine encapsulation 0

[bigcbass]

I won the lottery to get a Mia Farrow sig at Fan Expo Dallas and would like to get a Life Magazine signed.  I believe Life Magazine is too large to fit in the standard magazine size "hard" holders, but was curious if CGC would put it in one of their "soft" holders and just authenticate the sig (not grade the magazine).  Does anyone know if this is an option?

No one knows the answer?  Who can I email at CGC?

I've never seen this, so I doubt it.

I tend to just use the webform, it should get routed to the people that can give you an answer.

From "collectibles we grade" section "CGC grades most magazines that fit within the following dimensions: 11-1/2" tall x 8-7/8" wide x 1/2" thick (except magazines with hard covers or jeweled covers)."

Heard back from CGC and they said you could not do that because it won't fit. That said, I am not sure why you couldn't.  I have other "soft" slab items that are much larger than a Life magazine.  All I want is to certify the sig not grade the magazine.  Oh well.....on to another plan

Again, I don't want a graded magazine, just the signature certified.  Similar to this poster I had done a while back that was 13"x13"
