Signed by Nathan Szerdy, this comic is professionally graded by CGC at 9.8 as part of their special Signature Series.  With Signature Series books a certified CGC witness actually observes the signing of the comic and then immediately takes possession of the book so there is no possibility of the real autograph being switched out with another.
