Affleck is an A-lister.  A-listers (to me) have a different set of rules. Because you don't know if you are ever going to get one again.  Plus different people have different ideas of who their "must have" celeb is. Mine is Sean Connery on a Dr. No book. I would probably spend more on that than it is "worth."  At some point - with very rare sigs - it is simply a matter of what amount will pry them out of another collectors collection.  

I agree Sean, Connery has to be the most demanded celebrity that an SS book has not been accomplished yet.  Personally, I don't think it will ever happen.  I hope I'm wrong though.

There were a few more really special books done at this year's SDCC.  I will share pictures once they arrive back from CGC.

It is impossible to say which is the rarest celeb SS book.  There are too many that are high demand celebs that haven't signed anything yellow labeled yet and there are several who have only signed one or less that five SS books.  Here are a few of my favorite SS celeb books that I know for a fact are one of a kind or have less than 5 SS books signed by these folks:

Too far out to hold books   

Shatner is a guest at the Star Trek Con in Las Vegas in early August.  I believe someone here on the boards is taking submissions for that show.  You could add all the remaining 1966 cast at this show.

National Lampoon's VACATION reunion!!!!!!

Can Donald Trump send in his Walking Dead books to get signed???

Yes sir Michael, no truer words ever spoken.

I will be accepting submissions for CGC Sig Series for the July 1017 Hollywood Show.  Deadline to receive books is JUNE 30th.  Attending the convention are RICHARD DREYFUSS (JAWS, Close Encounters of the Third Kind), Cast from JAWS & JAWS 2, a Leave it to Beaver reunion, cast from the mid-1970's SHAZAM! television series, Tippi Hedren (Hitchcock's The Birds), and many more rare guests.

Please PM me what you would like to have done for a price quote.  Again, submissions must be received by JUNE 30TH.  There are some really great opportunities that will likely never come around again, so please check out the guest list.

If I'm not mistaken you helped me out big time last year at Phoenix Comic Con - and personally handled my books for Sig Series after I handed them off. Thanks for looking out for them and treating them with respect. All came back 9.8 and above.

You are very welcome sir!  I handle them funny books like they were new born babies!!!

An eye opener for anyone who thinks this job doesn't cost money (lol).

Baltimore Lauren and I are working on my taxes---we just finished the tally for money spent on signature fees for 2016.

This number includes checks and cash combined, to CBLDF, Heroes, ComicsSketchArt (Miller), Stan Lee, Jim Lee, celebs (the most expense there was BTTF cast), McFarlane, Romita, Claremont, Quesada, Conner & Palmiotti, Doug Moench, Hannigan, Milgrom, Ken Bald----the list goes on and on.

Not to mention celebs like Gene Simons, Chloe Bennett, Ming-Na Wen, Millie Bobby Brown, etc----it's a lot.

Grand total of $ spent on signatures for 2016

drum roll-----

$52,746

Ouch.

Quit it.

If I stepped away from Signature Series TODAY----I'd be saving over $50K to start!  

Mere peanuts Richie, I have to spend that much at Tiffany & Co. in San Diego to woo Laura into helping us at the SDCC every year!!!  

Bernie Wrightson Tribute Page

March 18th the comic book community lost of of it's giants.  Bernie Wrightson was widely regarded as the MASTER of the MACABRE.  He co-created the Swamp Thing, his Frankenstein illustration work was iconic, and as a horror illustrator he stands as one of the all-time greats.  His intricate pen and brushes was uncanny.  A true artistic genius.  A monumental artist admired by his peers & other great artists.  He was also one of the kindest and most humble creators one could ever meet.  Our hobby will never be the same without him.  RIP Bernie.

This thread is to celebrate the incredible legacy of the Master.  Please post your Wrightson art, signed comics, and/or

even share a story:

Giant Size X-Men 1, Hulk 180, & Hulk 181

Got my Gal Gadot book back last week. Looks pretty good next to the one on the left, don't ya think?

 

 

No. None of mine are up yet. But soon, very soon.

Very sad news, Raph was a great person in our community. One of the great joys of collecting comics is meeting wonderful people who have a like interest. Raph is one who I will never forget. My condolences to his family for this terrible loss.

Here are a few very cool Sig Series books that came back from CGC over the holidays:

Signed by The Prince of Darkness himself, OZZY OSBOURNE:

Here is a STAR TREK II: The Wrath of Kahn cast signed book, signed by Shatner, Takei, Nichols, Koenig, and Nicholas Meyer (the director of Star Trek II):

EVIL DEAD 2: Beyond Dead by Dawn # 1 signed by GROOVY Bruce Campbell & Sam Raimi:

Rocky Horror Picture Show issue 1 signed by FOUR cast members including TIM CURRY!:

Happy New Year!!!

Behold fellow collectors, without out a doubt the undisputed baddest Signature Series book accomplished in 2016:

 

 

Sean's was the best, sorry

Triston! Great book no matter the grade!

 

Where did Stan sign it?

I got it signed during the Comic Con weekend.
