Not another Stan Lee Signature

Stan Lee's signature is not worth nearly as much as speculators think.

I do not understand the point of collectors and speculators clamouring over Stan Lee's signature. Yes, he is getting older, yes he is super important to the history of superhero comics, but the frequency one can find a signed Stan lee CGC SS comic deflates any value his signature may have. For example, I saw a CGC SS 8.0 Amazing spider-man 239 for sale on eBay for $250. I have seen his signature on other nearly worthless comics with outrageous asking prices. I hate to break it to speculators out there but the signature in and of itself does not increase the value of a book that dramatically. While a signature on a high grade book may be worthy of note, Stan Lee signs his name way too frequently to actually warrant the amount of money folks are asking for his signature. For example, on eBay right now when I search Stan Lee CGC SS "in comics" I get back over 2,300 results. Perhaps 30-40 years from now that signature might be worth something but I will never pay a premium for that signature. Perhaps CGC could add a census for signatures from certain individuals. What are your thoughts?
