I loved this sketch and the idea behind it. I am also glad the money went to a good cause like the Hero Initiative.
I must admit that the decision to get this slabbed by CGC was a tough one. I am not a supporter or fan of the whole CGC movement. I have never owned a slabbed book before because to me at that point it is no longer a collectible comic but a commodity and that isn't why I read or buy comics. I understand the arguements both for and against slabbing and for me it still doesn't sit right. Having said that, this was a bit of a unique item. This is my first cover sketch piece and since slabbing was included with the auction I thought I'd give it a go. I am still undecided but i guess this will protect the artwork better than other ways I might store this if it were not slabbed. It is a bit of a strange feeling owning this, something I didn't think I ever would do.
