About the item: This awesome trading card is in nm/mint condition and will be shipped with the utmost care. Best of all, it is actually signed by hand by Mark Chiarello. Please note- the signature is real. It is the actual, hand-signed signature of the artist. It is not a pre-printed image or facsimile signature. May vary slightly as to exact location signed but is clear, not smudged, etc. Please see below for important information regarding COA's. ~Certificate of Authenticity/Provenance: Excepting pack-pulled autograph trading cards, CGC Signature Series, signed Sideshow prints, and like collectibles, all autographed items Vault Collectibles sells were personally witnessed, by myself, being signed by the writer, artist, or celebrity in question. No third party is involved. Further, art sketches - and most published original art I sell - were obtained directly from the artist themselves. For buyers desiring this guarantee in written form, this statement guarantees that the above referenced item is as stated in the listing description. A screen capture of the completed auction page, which includes this statement of provenance, may be saved by the buyer as a digital file or print off in hardcopy form. As this serves as written proof of said guarantee, no physical documentation will be included in the package when the item is mailed. J. Brian O?Bryant VaultCollectibles dba as empire.auctions
