Batman #686 SS CGC 9.8
Neil Gaiman Signature Series NM/MT 2009






Batman #686
CGC 9.8 (NM/MT)
Signature Series Autographed by
Neil Gaiman


Up for sale is a copy of the Ross covers of Batman #686 from 2009 autographed by writer Neil Gaiman and graded 9.8 (NM/MT) by CGC under its Signature Series label.  The CGC holder is in great condition with no cracks.

I have set a fixed price of $499.99 for this listing, which I think is a fair price, but feel free to make me your "best offer."  You never know, I might just take it, or at least make you a counteroffer.

For those of you unfamiliar with Signature Series, the Signature Series label takes the place of a certificate of authenticity, and with it you know that a certified CGC witness saw the comic being autographed by the person indicated, and immediately afterwards took the comic into his possession so that there is no doubt the autograph is authentic. In the case of multiple autographs signed at different times, a CGC witness will only release the signed comic at the time it is to be autographed by another person, and then takes it right back.

Note that the picture is of the actual comic for sale and not just some "stock" photo.





To ensure that this comic and its CGC holder is received in the same condition as it was sent, it will be shipped well-protected in a box. Insured media mail shipping is available for $7, and insured priority mail shipping is available for $15. Sorry, but due to issues I have experienced shipping internationally during the pandemic, no international shipping on this item.

Please note that more than actual shipping goes into my shipping charge, which also includes the cost of shipping supplies and insurance. Also note that insurance is obtained through a third-party insurer and not the post office and thus will not be reflected on the postage affixed to the package.

NOTE ON MEDIA MAIL SHIPPING: I offer media mail shipping in order to provide the lowest shipping cost possible. According to the Official Overstreet Comic Book Grading Guide (2nd edition), "most ads in comic books have expired, and they may not be excluded from the media mail classification." Nevertheless, many postal employees believe that comic books do not qualify for media mail. Packages sent via media mail are subject to inspection, and if it is determined that the package does not qualify, it will be charged at the higher parcel post rate. If that is the case, the package will often arrive with "postage due." BY SELECTING MEDIA MAIL AS THE SHIPPING OPTION, THE BUYER AGREES TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ADDITIONAL POSTAGE IF THE PACKAGE IS DETERMINED NOT TO QUALIFY FOR MEDIA MAIL.

I will gladly combine shipping for any of my listings won within a seven day period and paid for at the same time.
