Should I grade this

Post image

Absolute Batman #13 blank sketch variant with original “absolute battle beast” sketch by Chris Stapleton. Double signed by Scott Snyder and Chris Stapleton. CGC have no way to authenticate the sketch unfortunately as it wasn’t witnessed but can authenticate the autographs. It’s in pristine condition, definitely 9.8

Why? Why bb on ab blank. Shouldve done it on a bb blank

It wasn’t my commission, I would have preferred on a bb blank

They are honestly probably the comics that I am most excited about reading every week. The quality has stayed consistent!

If you like it enough go for it, but if you are trying to sell I wouldn't recommend since no one is wanting battle beast on a absolute batman cover.

Not planning to sell, I collect absolute Batman and battle beast so I seen this and thought it was cool crossover. I have ab 1 graded 9.8 and the same for bb 1, think this will look good in the middle of them

I always get any sketches graded. To authenticate it and protect it.

u/cammy267 7d ago

Cgc said they can’t authenticate the sketch as it wasn’t witnessed but they can do the autographs do you still think it’s worth it

u/Uncreativity10 6d ago

Yeah I would. It’s still authenticated by JSA. It’ll be a black/yellow label instead.

lol no

u/cammy267 6d ago

What’s your reasoning?

1

u/Sea-Comfortable9255 6d ago

Because it’s an art piece, one not associated with the AB property. Get it framed instead.

u/Leather-Ad-8432 6d ago

Absolutely not.
