About the item:
Signed by hand by nine contributing artists to the artwork on this poster, the signatures include Tony Harris, Charles Vess, Colleen Doran, Mark Buckingham, P. Craig Russell, Marc Hempell, Kevin Nowlan, Steve Leialoha, and Jill Thompson. It is the 20th Anniversary poster for Sandman, released in 2008 to comic speciality stores only to celebrate the anniversary. It measures 27 by 39 inches, is in excellent / undisplayed condition (never displayed) and will be shipped with the utmost care. Comes factory folded. Please note- the signatures are real. They are the actual, hand-signed signatures of the comic creators noted above. They are not pre-printed images on the poster. The first image is a stock photo of the poster. The remaining images are of the actual item you will receive. Please further note- there is a slight impression of Steve Leialoha's autograph right next to where P. Craig Russel signed his autograph (I did not wait quite long enough before folding the poster back up to allow the signature to fully dry). Still, it displays nicely.
~Certificate of Authenticity/Provenance:
Excepting pack-pulled autograph trading cards, CGC Signature Series, signed Sideshow prints, and like collectibles, all autographed items Vault Collectibles sells were personally witnessed, by myself, being signed by the writer, artist, or celebrity in question. No third party is involved. Further, art sketches - and most published original art I sell - were obtained directly from the artist themselves.
