This was my childhood copy of Sonic the Hedgehog #57. Picked up in an Eckerd Drug Store that was a half hour drive each way. It took years for them to get in Sonic but this day they did!

Signed and Sketch by Jim Smash on 6/26/22 @ Heroes Con thanks to Dan Partouche for Facilitating.
It will one day have Pat Spaziante signed as well or worst case sent in for a error as they forgot to notate the newsstand notation. This book had been pressed.

I had originally intended to attend Gardenstate Comic Fest Summer 2021 edition as it is a usual show for me each year, but unfortunately life had other plans for me.

Luckily, I was able to have Rich Henn get this signed by Steve Lavigne and he had set up ahead of time for Steve to have a remarque option. As he is always swamped at shows and doesn't do show requests as I learned meeting him back in 2017 at Saratoga Comic Con, I mailed the book out to Rich. It was one of the books I had for years as a kid from flea market hunting forgetting it had issues.

Rich called me asking if I still wanted to go through as there was a KB Toy's sticker on the inner front cover when you open the book. It was the only book raw I owned that Steve worked on and I said to continue understanding it would be a hybrid label.

This is the reason why, this book will be cracked and have others sign to now. CGC has a few lines of grader notes but they totally missed the fact a sticker is on the inner cover of the comic book.

Signed and sketch by Steve Lavigne on 6/4/21 & CGC Graded on 11/16/21.

moderate spine stress lines to cover
