Figured I'd share my newest addition to my Valiant collection. This slab is special to me and I'm glad to have it in my collection signed by Jim Lee CGCSS.

Awesome slab!

That’s bananas. I’ve submitted them in the past and they return them to me. Did you put something on the request?

I submitted it SS because that's the only way I knew to get it slabbed. They accept prints, photos and covers like mine for signing and encapsulating.

Any reason why they note it as silver and not white?

That's a good question which I wondered myself. I guess it is because they have listed the other Qualified white covers the same. However, these were deliberate and given away as a promo cover at the Cons.

The book details on the label are pulled from a database. CGC only has one listing for Deathmate Prologue and the database description mentions the silver foil cover.
It would have been helpful if they had noted the missing silver foil, but the area for that kind of note already states "Jim Lee" and "Cover only".

So far, CGC has not reported single page and cover only encapsulations in the CGC Census so it's hard to get any counts. Very cool, though! :clap:
