About the item:

Concluding the sage of the Superior Spiderman and the return of Peter Parker, The Amazing Spiderman #1 is the biggest comics event of the year. This copy, autographed at the premier singing on the release date of both the issue itself and Spider-Man II, is an exclusive labeled by CGC as signed "on 4/30/14 on 1st Day of Issue Release" and is part of their special Signature Series. It is signed by not only the creator of Spider-man himself, Stan Lee, but also artist Humberto Ramos, inker Victor Olazaba, and colorist Edgar Delgado. 

REGARDING CGC CASES: CGC is an independent, third-party grading service that grades and then encapsulates comic books.  This encapsulation process has potential inherent results.  These include, but are not limited to, either the left, right, or both sides of the outer case not being sealed completely, an appearance of waviness, or the existence of Newton’s Rings (an interference pattern created by the reflection of light between two surfaces) that can appear and are frequently mistaken for moisture or oil inside the case (in actuality, this effect is between the inner softer plastic shell and the outer, hard plastic shell and are not on the book itself).  These and other results can occur during the encapsulation process.  These effects, however, do not in any way affect the book itself or its designated grade. These inherent features of CGC cases can be difficult if not impossible to see in a photo or scan of the book and, as the seller does not regard them as relevant concerning his own collection of CGC graded books, does not look for or make special note of them in the auction description. 

Additionally, but not limited to, there can also occur, during shipping, small pieces of loose plastic left over from the encapsulation process to jar loose and rattle around inside the case.  It is even possible for the inner soft plastic case that holds the book to become somewhat loose during the shipping process and slightly move inside the outer, hard plastic case.  As the CGC book is tightly encapsulated inside the soft plastic case, this will not result in damage to the book. Any such encapsulation issue is part and parcel to comics graded by CGC and the seller is not responsible in any way for such issues as the buyer is purchasing the comic book itself in the designated grade and the buyer shall agree that the case exists to protect the book, guaranteeing the integrity and validity of its assigned grade and that no guarantee as to the esthetics of the case itself exists. Again, as the seller does not regard any of these issues as relevant concerning his own collection, he does not look for or make special note of them in the auction description. 

Obviously, if the CGC case is damaged during shipping - such as the case itself arriving cracked - an insurance claim with USPS will be filed for funds sufficient to ship the book to CGC for re-encapsulation and return shipping to the buyer.  If the book is actually damaged, the insurance claim will cover the full value of the book. Once the claim is processed and paid, these funds will then be sent to the buyer.  If you are sensitive to any of the above outlined issues regarding CGC cases (poorly sealed sides, Newton’s Rings, general imperfections in the plastic case, slight movement of the interior soft-plastic case inside the outer shell, etc.) please contact me before bidding/buying.
Terms, International Bidder Information & Provenance Guarantee:

~ Terms: 

~ We are happy to combine shipping on domestic or international shipments. Please inquire for full details. 

~ If you purchase more than one item, please wait for the combined invoice before making payment. 

~ We package items extremely securely. 

~ Once an item is won and the auction is over, the purchase cannot be cancelled. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.   

~ If you are and international bidder:

All international packages ship vie Priority (if less than $250, including shipping) or Express (if more than $250, including shipping). I cannot falsify customs forms by declaring a lower value than the final bid price realized. Also, please be aware per eBay policy you are responsible for any such fees, duties, taxes, etc. your government may impose upon you before they will release the package to you. It is the responsibility of the bidder to determine what their customs fees, duties, or taxes may be.  Please be aware that with international packages, USPS may sometimes release the package to a local carrier for the final delivery of the item to the buyer.  If that is the case it is the responsibility of the buyer to, if necessary, make arrangements for the delivery of the package, for it to be signed for upon delivery, provide instructions to the carrier where to leave the package, etc. 

~Certificate of Authenticity/Provenance:

In order to stay ahead of the collectables market curve and offer the security and piece of mind that a mere paper COA does not and cannot provide, empire.auctions offers certification through Collectors Proof.  As always, all autographed items I sell were personally witnessed - by myself - being signed by the artist, writer, creator or celebrity in question. No third-party is involved. Further, art sketches - and most published pieces of original artwork I sell - were obtained directly from the artists themselves. 

In order to provide this guarantee to buyers - and especially those who desire said guarantee in written form, after the auction ends and payment has been received, the item information will, upon request, be uploaded to Collectors Proof.  Once uploaded, it will generate and assign the item a digital (and permanent) alpha-numeric code ("signature") linked to the primary auction photo as well as a snapshot of the complete ended eBay auction screen (offering a level of authentication and piece of mind that a mere printed certificate with an easily forged signature cannot).  Once the item has an entry on Collectors Proof the "title" of the item can then be transferred from one member (Empire Auctions) to another (the high bidder).  Not only is this a record of the guarantee of the authenticity of the item, traceable back to its original source, but it also maintains a permanent web-based record of ownership accessible from any computer with internet access.  It also allows the current owner to print out a hardcopy of a Certificate of Authenticity (COA), if desired, but without the need of actually having to protect physical paper certificates from loss or possible destruction as the documentation is permanently maintained and available online.  

Please note that this service is not available for items already independently verified for authenticity (such as CGC Signature Series Comics or pack-pulled signature cards), items that come with independent provenance from another source (which, if that is the case, will be noted in the auction description above) or items that are not in need of any authentication (such as collectibles that are not signed, or are not original artwork, etc). It is also not available for items that sell for any amount less than $49.99 (though, if desired, for a $3.00 processing fee per item, the provenance through Collectors Proof can be included).  Please note- the request for Collectors Proof should be made before payment is sent as it will be added to the eBay invoice.  If the service is requested after payment is made, the processing fee becomes $4. At $49.99 or higher, the provenance through Collectors Proof is included free of charge upon request. Please note- the guarantee that I sell only signatures I personally witnessed the signer in question autograph is real regardless of whether or not you opt for the authentication service through Collectors Proof.
