How much you want to bet this is one of those unused covers married to another copy to give it that grade?  Look up who this seller is for confirmation.

I wonder if a rep. for Crumb would verify if Robert was even in the U.S. in December (last month)?  If not, then it's fair to say that it's more than shady since I doubt they could verify someone going to France to verify a signature event.  And Crumb doesn't do very many signings, infact at the last one I believe he stated he wouldn't do anymore.

I found a Crumb interview from Dec 2011.

I don't speak French, but it looks like he was doing a signing at a gallery, in France, with Aline Crumb (who does most the talking).

Wow, that was a quick turnaround. Must have paid a pretty penny to get CGC to grade something so quickly.

You would have thought that the CGC would have noticed the married cover???

And notice the "2nd Print rarer than 1st print" in listing, uh that's just the CGC graded ones.

CGC has missed plenty of stuff in the past and IMO they have been just as shady as PGX in some cases.
