Jeweled or Metal Covers 0

Does CGC grade comics with jewels glued on the cover or comics with a metal cover? 

Thanks in advance. Could not find the answers anywhere!

Edit: Found examples of CGC graded comics with metal covers. How about jewels?!

CGC will not grade comics with jewels glued onto the cover.  The would not fit in the slab and would probably scratch the inside of it if it did.

Thanks for the info guys. Have a couple of Lady Death books with Swarovski crystals. This is my most recent one: La Muerta: Ascension. They're awesome in hand. Looking into BCW show case displays or something comparable now.

They also don't grade the metal covers. Well most. They did grade the 2017 X-O #1 brushed metal cover. I sent in a different metal cover and they wouldn't grade it. I sent an email saying, you won't grade this metal but you will grade the X-O? All I was told is that was correct, no explanation.

Quick follow-up. In the process of putting together a CGC submission and wanted a definitive answer on the metal covers. Response from CGC:

Quote

We can grade any metal cover book as long as the metal is the same dimensions as he book itself and there is no overhang.  If the metal extends over the cover of the book, we cannot safely encapsulate it.  

 

Can't wait to get home to check!

Yes I received a notice that CGC could not encapsulate Venom #18 Kirkham NYCC metal cover only 100 made .. the witness form was filled out and sent to CGC . They sent it back saying that they wouldn't be able to slab it.

New gimmick? We should be seeing Infinity Gauntlet, Mandarin Rings and Green Lantern variant books doing this. Maybe the star on Wonder Woman’s tiara?
