Hi guys,
i've been trying to find info on this comic I just bought at an auction, but can't seem to be able to find any info on it..
It was listed as "Astonishing X-Men 1 Wizard Signed/Sketch Variant" but I don't see any mentioning of this variant anywhere, iv'e seen listings for the
Authentix variant, however those have the sketch numbered and don't come with the wizard logo on the cover... what have i got and what's
it worth?
thanks in advance for the assistance

after some research, it appears to me that you have one of the 'blank' versions that someone had Brandon Peterson do the same sketch on that he did for the signed version, then someone stuck it in a Wizard bag. OR someone forged the sketch. The Authentix numbered versions were done by Dynamic Forces and not Wizard, so I'm guessing someone just used one of those thicker wizard bags for better protection. I see a numbered one on that auction site from Aug 5th that only got $15. It's only worth what someone will pay for it, and if they believe the sketch is authentic. I don't see any google results for the exact phrase "Astonishing X-Men 1 Wizard Signed/Sketch Variant", or Astonishing X-Men 1 Wizard sketch, so was this some local auction? Near as I can find, Wizard had nothing to do with these. mycomicshop shows a blank box one with the cert, says limited to 3,500. So if yours doesn't have the DF cert it's probably worth less than normal. That's all I can tell ya from quick searches.

if you haven't paid yet you should be able to cancel the sale for being possibly incomplete or misrepresented, but depends on the rules of where you bought it. paypal usually sides with the buyer if you used that. $60 is way too much based on what I saw for these. wouldn't give $5 for that sketch myself. good luck.
