Description: • Item DescriptionThis listing from a smoke free home is for a CGC Signature Series 9.6 (NM+) with perfect WHITE PAGES copy of the desirable Gold Edition variant of Venom: Lethal Protector #1, Marvel Comics, February 1993, which has been DOUBLE-SKETCHED / doubled-signed, by BOTH superstar cover artists for the issue: Mark Bagley sketched Spider-Man and Sam de la Rosa sketched Venom! Every Venom fan wants to own issue #1 of Marvel's very first solo series featuring Venom, yet there are several different variations of the issue out there to choose from... Here are three especially cool things about the GOLD variant: (1) It is indeed "very 1990's" to have a special holo-grafx gold version of the book, for that extra 90's-memorabilia-factor (and the lighter gold color background arguably accentuates the Venom artwork differently than the regular dark red version); (2) It was a RETAILER INCENTIVE variant meaning dramatically fewer exist out there versus regular copies; (3) The back cover of this particular variant has an absolutely-awesome VENOM PIN-UP by Mark Bagley and Al Milgrom (instead of an advertisement like regular copies have)! Marry all of the above with ORIGINAL ARTWORK SKETCHES FROM BOTH SUPERSTAR COVER ARTISTS, under CGC Signature Series, and this particular copy offered to you today is one heck of an awesome collectible, sure to be one of the gems of your collection!!!• Shipping InformationPackage weight for me to ship one carefully-boxed slab is a 3lb box; additional comics can be combined and I've configured my settings to add add 2lb for each additional comic. "Calculated shipping" has been enabled where eBay will automatically calculate your actual shipping cost, and the offered domestic shipping services are USPS Priority Mail, USPS Parcel Ground, UPS Ground, FedEx Ground, or FedEx Home Delivery. For international buyers, I have checked the box to participate in eBay's International Shipping Program. I have 20 years of experience selling comics on eBay and always take great care to package rare comics well for shipment — my assumption when packing, is that the box will be dropped on its corner by a postal worker, and therefore needs to be protected accordingly. I am a collector like you and I've received my fair (unfair) share of cracked cases and bent-up books. So rest assured, great care will be taken to see that the comic will reach you safely; some of my positive eBay feedback responses include these comments: "The Best Packing I've Ever Seen", "Fast international shipping, bomb-proof packaging", "Lightning fast! Book very well packed, could have survived nuclear attack!"• Thanks For Looking!If you have any questions just let me know.
