Thanks for the support guys, it really means a lot to me! Your like the internet friends I never had!
I can't tell you how much work went into these books to get everything right, and honestly I was getting tired of paying money to have people sketch on books and then chuck them in the trash because they sucked.
Greedo, I never thought about doing anything else because My wife is such a huge Batman freak and does not really care about Supes. I can change out the book So that the cgc title matches the sketch. It's not easy, but it can be done.

The white cover idea was beyond brilliant Troy!
I made some blanks back in December, Mico has one and a few artists but that's about it. Never pulled the trigger because like Dan said I was concerned with legal issues
Def. did not put nearly the time and effort you put in, but I'm still pleased with the result. I gave the logo ideas and xmen/avengers 1p covers as examples of the quality I was looking for. The shop ordered the cover stock, took about a week. Anyways here they are:
No completed sketches yet though
The actual books are silver age DC's (reader copies) and All-Star Barman and Robins

Thanks Mike!
The real trick is getting the paper right. I had to go through five different printers and a bagillion types of paper to find the right one. Test it, and it's *spoon*. Rinse and repeat over and over for months to get it right.
