Captain Canuck

Just managed to get a minute to speak to CGC and they said, unless they witnessed anything like that being created it will not be eligible for slabbing, as they don't have a slab for that. So nothing preexisting. I.e. No scripts, letters, old sketches, ... Voldemort said they may do it.

So if I took the Swamp Thing page 1 -script and proceeded to also get it signed by a comic artist, while witnessed by CGC, then they will slab it. Thanks. Works for me.

Here are 2 examples: 8.5x11 print signed by Capullo: Will they slab this? Page 1 of a Swamp Thing --script signed by Allan Moore (8.5x11): If they were both the size of a comic backing board will they slab it then with the NG status? Will they slab and what is the max size they can be?

Is a comic backboard the largest dimension they will slab? In regards to Dr. Seuss, let's say he sent me a letter as a kid on 8.5x11 piece of paper, CGC will not slab it? I don't mind the NG designation. Or let's say he sent me a letter and just so happens it was the same dimensions as a comic backing board, will they slab it then with the NG designation?

Will CGC Slab Anything? Will CGC slab anything comic related that will fit in a slab? What comic related things will they not slab? Lastly, what is the largest dimensions of an item they will slab? I.e. If I received a 8.5x11 sketch from Laird, but is not witnessed, will they slab it and is it too big for a slab? Also, if I have a 8.5x11 letter from Gene Colan, since he is a comic artist, will they slab it?

Will CGC slab a 8.5x11 piece of paper?

But will they slab a 8.5x11 piece of paper or is it too big for a slab?

What is the largest size that CGC will slab? If lets say I write Peter Laird a letter and he sends me a head sketch on a 8.5x11 card stock, is it too big to slab? I'm fine with the NG designation.

I may take the risk, was just hoping he had signed on someone's own personal stationary previously.

Has anyone written to Ditko and given him their own stationary to respond on and has he used it?

Has anyone ever tried having him respond on their own paper/stationary?

I would love to see such a relic.

Do you mind posting that letter?

Letters to Comic Artists What other comic legends are still living and others have written to? As well, do they personally respond to their fan mail? Are they still approachable? I heard Peter Laird responds personally. Has anyone tried writing to John Romita or Stan Lee?

I understand he considers his role in comics as work to hire, but think about how much good he could do if he took the money from selling his art and from the movies and donated it. Wouldn't helping those who are less fortunate justify it? As well, he still wouldn't be keeping the money. If it made him sleep better at night, have the money directly deposited with the charity, so he doesn't have to see or hear about it.

Ditko's responses are getting shorter and shorter with age. What other comic legends are still living and others have written to? As well, do they personally respond to their fan mail? Are they still approachable? I heard Peter Laird responds personally.

Interesting he just wrote me a letter and said he has never seen a superhero movie.

Give him an extra fine point marker instead of a sharpie to sign. Will come out cleaner and make it easier for him. Try having him use a Sakura Pigma Micron, I had him use it on my splash page this past Christmas and can't see why it wouldn't work on a cover. Also the added benefit is that it is archival ink.

Unlike Dallas, will Jim have a sketch package like Quesada had last Summer?

What about it do you recommend?

If we are talking popularity then I would agree and say Batman and Superman are the top 2 and Spidey would be #3.

Is it ahead of Bat #1, Sups #1, Flash #1, Marvel #1, ...?

You could put the comics in baskets, more aesthetically pleasing.

Even then, I would make sure the unit is anchored securely to the wall. Would be concerned about it tipping over from the weight.

9 boxes max I would say and even then, I wouldnt make the boxes on the higher shelves that heavy. Unless the boxes touch the bottom of the shelf above, which would help support the wait and allow it to hold more than 26lbs.
