Does anyone know who from the Golden, Silver or Bronze ages is still active and/or available to sign comic books? People such as the artists, managers or owners. Thanks.

Thanks

Yes, I did. My guess is that it isn't very similar on a few of the letters, but that could perhaps be due to the pattern of trying to write it along the Torch's legs.

Greetings. I am wondering if the John Romita signature on this comic is legit? Thanks.

Right. Thanks.

Just curious. How much would it cost to have the book slabbed?

Alright. Thank you.

Greetings. I recently purchased a Journey Into Mystery #92 which doesn't have the original CGC plastic slab, but is inside the CGC inner sleeve with a number grade. Can I simply have it reholdered without having to have it graded again? Attached is a picture of the comic book and sleeve in question. Thank you.

Call me crazy, but maybe it had something to do with the ethnic backgrounds of the founders of the Soviet Union being the same as Kirby's. Or the fact those despots murdered million of Christians during the Holodomor. Or possibly it could have had something to do with the Red Scare bombings of the early 20th century etc.

Thank you very much, sir. That's exactly what I was hoping to hear.

Was the lite grayish ink in the ASM grade numbers proper for certain years, as well as the fonts on the case side?

Thanks guys. I purchased it from Ebay. Here's a picture of the back cover.

Hey guys. I ended up buying one from an auction. The only thing is, I noticed a possible problem with it. Where it gives the grade as 4.5, the ink in the numbers is very lite. Almost grayish. Do you think this slab is legitimate? Thanks.

Sorry. Indeed I did put the wrong link in. I just added a picture of the book itself. So, it does have a yellow label. According to what you stated, that means it was a witnessed by CGC, Stan Lee signature, correct? The signature appears to be very legible and more to a leftward slant, which is unlike the majority of Mr. Lee's signatures I've seen. That was one reason I was leery about the book. What do you, or anyone else think about that, or the value of the comic for a 10k asking price? There doesn't seem to be too much color restoration from my novice opinion.If anyone knows of a better deal around the same asking price, please let me know. Thanks.

Just curious. Would you think this signature is legit and done in 1995?

Thanks for the information. I appreciate it. One other thing I noticed is, on the 6.0 book I uploaded a picture of, there is about 1/8" to the right of the Marvel stamp (right side of the cover). Most copies of this book only have about 1/16", but are not given the "trimmed" designation by CGC. One that was recently graded, had the same 1/16" to the right of the stamp, but said "trimmed". Were the grading methods changed or did Marvel have different cover widths on some of these books? You can also see more material on Thor's cape and additional lines on Loki's fingers.

Indeed I did put the wrong link in. I just added a picture of the book itself. So, it does have a yellow label. According to what you stated, that means it was a witnessed by CGC, Stan Lee signature. The signature appears to be very legible and also has more of a vertical slant, unlike the majority of Mr. Lee's signatures I've seen which tilt towards the right. That was one reason I was leery about the book. What do you, or anyone else think about that, or the value of the comic for a 10k asking price? There doesn't seem to be much of a color restoration from my novice opinion. If anyone knows of a better deal around the same asking price, please let me know. Thanks.

Greetings. I'm interested in potentially purchasing an Avengers 1 Signature Series and was doing some due diligence on it. The cert # is 1187763001 and under the Grade Category it says "Apparent SS SA". Can someone tell me what that means? How thorough of a job does CGC do in authenticating signatures? In order to be authenticated, does it have to be done in front of a CGC representative? Here's a picture of the comic. Any thoughts are welcome. Thank you.

Alright. Thank you.

Greetings. I bought the Amazing Spiderman 39 recently and noticed something very odd. There is a sort of rainbow-colored, ultra-violet like staining all throughout the inside of the front case. It's really strange and I'm concerned about it either damaging the book in the future or lowering the resale value. It's almost like what you would see if car oil dripped into a water puddle.The only explanations I can think of are a contaminated case somehow came from cgc or someone cleaned the comic's cover with a substance that is now showing up between the cover and the case itself. it's possibly my favorite comic too and is signed by Stan Lee. Pictures attached. Does anyone have an idea of what this is or what should be done about it? If so, please advise. Thanks
