CGC SS Signed George Perez JLA Post Card Set and similar items

Regarding the comics industry recent reholder scandal / scam, please note that all books I sell were submitted directly by me to CGC at various comic conventions (as well as the occasional private signing event). I do not buy already graded books and then resell them. So every CGC item I have for sale was graded by CGC and then came directly to me and not through another dealer. Please further note that photos, prints, and original art sketches (that are not on actual comic books but are rather just on sketch paper or the like? i.e. anything certified by CGC that does not have a grade, are not searchable on their site by the serial number. Only graded comics and magazines - items with grades - are searchable by serial number. However, for such items not searchable on their site, you can call CGC Customer Service and they can verify the item authentication over the phone. About the item: This 1984 postcard set features the artwork of George Perez. It originally came with 15 postcards; between the creation/production of the set, Batman left the JLA to form the Outsiders and so was no longer a team member. DC opted to give the Batman card as a premium to convention attendees rather than include it in the set. It is therefore more difficult to find than the other 15 postcards, which were sold shrink wrapped as a set. Each postcard measures 4 by 6 inches, are all in good condition (there is some tanning due to age on the backs - and visible on the Wonder Woman card especially). They will be shipped with the utmost care. Best of all, each postcard is signed by hand by George Perez and certified authentic by CGC as part of their special Signature Series. Buyer receives all 16 postcards. Scans one and two show the entire set, front and back, the remaining scans show, front and back, two postcards per image for greater detail. About George Perez's work on the JLA: Taking over pencilling Justice League of America (after the passing of long-time JLA illustrator Dick Dillon), George Perez finally received his long sought-after chance to illustrate DC's preeminent super-team. Seeing the JLA as a natural progression from his work on Marvel's Avengers, the very reason Perez accepted Marv Wolfman's invitation earlier that year (1980) to illustrate The New Teen Titans was in hopes his work there would eventually land him the JLA. And in 1980, his first year at DC, it didn't take long to realize his ambition. Beginning with the backup Firestorm story in The Flash #283 (Sept., 1980), then his first DC Cover later that month - Green Lantern #132), Perez would then illustrate the introduction of the New Teen Titans in DC Comics Presents #26 (Oct., 1980) with the launch of the teams own title the following month (Nov., 1980). In that month, he would also take over the JLA with issue #184. He would go on to illustrate #185 and #186, then take about a half-year hiatus before returning to the series with issue #192. After issue #200, his final issue as an interior penciler, he would contribute 14 more covers to the series, his final being the cover for issue #220 (November, 1983). The postcard set would be his last major contribution to the Justice League until his final work with the team, DC and Marvel's major crossover event JLA/Avengers - his dream project - which came out in 2003-2004. About George Perez George Perez?s amazing career spans five decades, beginning in 1974 with a 2-page spread in Astonishing Tales #25. Since that time he helped revolutionize and revitalize several characters and titles, including The New Teen Titans (also co-creating several of the new members with writer Marv Wolfman), Wonder Woman, The Avengers, and the entire DC Universe itself in the landmark Crisis on Infinite Earths series (again with Wolfman) and its companion piece, the History of the DC Universe. More recently, he again helped redefine DC through Infinite Crisis and the relaunch of Superman under DC?s New 52. In addition to ground-breaking events, Perez has provided fantastic work for many other titles including The Justice League of America, The Infinity Gauntlet, The Hulk: Future Imperfect, Batman, The X-Men, Superman, The Fantastic Four, and the personal dream project JLA/Avengers that brought together DC and Marvel?s preeminent super teams. Many of his contributions have made it onto the silver screen, including strong influences on DC?s Wonder Woman films (indeed, Perez's Wonder Woman work was the very basis of the first film) and in Marvel?s cinematic universe (Perez's influence can be seen in everything from the gauntlet ?snap? - which Perez first illustrated - to the main Age of Ultron fight scene which was specifically based on Perez?s artwork). A true humanitarian as well, Perez helped raise funds for numerous charities over the course of his career and also co-founded A.C.T.O.R. (now known as the Hero Initiative), the first federally recognized not-for-profit organization dedicated to helping comic book creators in need. Recognized by industry professionals as well as fans, Perez has won multiple awards and honors, including several Eagle Awards (one along with Jim Shooter, Sal Buscema, and David Wenzel) for Best Continued Story on The Avengers, one for Best Cover for The Avengers #185, and one for Favorite Artist (penciler) in 1986. He won the Inkpot Award in 1983 and his work along with Wolfman on Crisis on Infinite Earths won the 1985 and 1986 Jack Kirby Awards for Best Finite Series. He has also won numerous Comic Buyer?s Guide Fan Awards. In 1985, Perez was included as an honoree among the most influential contributors to DC Comics? history in the company?s 50th-anniversary publication Fifty Who Made DC Great. Most recently, Perez received the Inkwell Awards Stacey Aragon Special Recognition Award for his lifetime achievement in inking.
