Regarding the comics industry recent reholder scandal / scam, please note that all books I sell were submitted directly by me to CGC at various comic conventions (as well as the occasional private signing event).  I do not buy already graded books and then resell them.  So every CGC item I have for sale was graded by CGC and then came directly to me and not through another dealer.  Please further note that photos, prints, and original art sketches (that are not on actual comic books but are rather just on sketch paper or the like? i.e. anything certified by CGC that does not have a grade, are not searchable on their site by the serial number.  Only graded comics and magazines - items with grades - are searchable by serial number.  However, for such items not searchable on their site, you can call CGC Customer Service and they can verify the item authentication over the phone.  

About the item:  


A rare RRP (known alternately as Retailer Roundtable Program or Retailer Representative Program) this comic was given out exclusively to comic specialty shop owners by DC Comics at the 2014 Diamond Retailer Breakfast at the San harley-quinn-cgc-ss-signed-amanda-conner-jimmy-palmiotti-bruce-timm-jim-lee-sdcc-san-diego-comic-con-comicon-invades-signed-signature-autograph-rrp-retailer-incentive-edition-1harley-quinn-cgc-ss-signed-amanda-conner-jimmy-palmiotti-bruce-timm-jim-lee-sdcc-san-diego-comic-con-comicon-invades-signed-signature-autograph-rrp-retailer-incentive-edition-2Diego Comic-Con. This copy is signed  (at the 2014 San Diego convention itself) by Amanda Conner (co-writer, artist and cover artist of this issue), Jimmy Palmiotti (co-writer of this issue), and Bruce Timm (co-creator of Harley Quinn and who also appears in the comic as himself). Please note- the signatures are real. They are the actual, hand-signed signatures of Conner, Palmiotti, and Timm. They are not pre-printed images on the comic. 


About the issue: The title says it all as the fan-favorite Harley Quinn takes on Comic-Con International itself in her quest to get her own comic published.  In this humorous and over-the-top romp through the very real challenges of attending Comic-Con, Harley has to battle long lines, crazy crowds, costume-clad fans, and the dread con crud as she meets real-life comic creators like Jim Lee and Bruce Timm.  If you’ve ever attended the con you’ll recognize much that is familiar as Harley charges through downtown and the convention center sampling all the San Diego Comic-Con International has to offer!
