About the item:
Card grade of Mint with a perfect 10 autograph!
From the 1991 TSR trading card set, this card features artwork originally used as a portion of the cover illustration to TSR's Endless Quest book Tarzan and The Well of Slaves. TSR reused much of their artwork for the card set, assigning new names, stats, and backstory. But the original image was of Tarzan. Please note, the actual book is pictured for reference but please note that the listing is for the card only, the book is not included in the listing. Autographed by both Douglass Niles (the author of the book) and cover artist Larry Elmore, the card is professionally graded by CGC and is part of their special Signature Series. With Signature Series, a certified witness observes the signing of the collectible and then immediately takes possession of it. Fresh from CGC, it will be shipped with the utmost care.
