  1. I give this a 10 for content, a 10 for consistency and a 10 for clarity. Overall a 9.8 since 10's are unicorns in comics. (ok 10)
  2. This is so true. I sent in 2 "New Avengers 7" and on one of them Bendis signed RIGHT OVER Spiderwoman's face. She was really pissed. And so was I. (I'm not kidding - well maybe a little)
  3. Not sure applicability in the States, but interesting none the less... https://www.theguardian.com/money/article/2024/may/08/no-refund-after-i-was-sold-a-stolen-3300-bike-on-ebay
  4. I disagree with the verification part, but agree about 'grading a signature'. I have signed books I'd like to get graded from the 80's when I was a kid. I witnessed it, but no one that could verify did! Been sitting on the fence about grading elsewhere. I have what I believe to be a 9.8 Punisher 1 Limited Series signed by Carl Potts. I always wanted it to be graded, but don't like Green labels. I have Sketched books I'd like to get graded / verified. My LCS does several signings a year which I've been on the fence about due to grading issues. I'm happy CGC / JSA is doing this.
  5. @MattM CS Sorry - new to this, but in what cases would art negatively effect the grade of the book? If you have a link that's fine. Thanks!
  6. I'm always going for grade drops when re-submitting. And with a CGC press it happens quite often! yay me.
  7. This is a good one. Sounds more like a re-holder to me. Why regrade? Unless you think it will get a bump.
  8. You are grading the book - not the quality of the artwork. I would say something like "Verified Signature and Sketch" Same ink, same style. Did it come with a COA?
  9. Yep - I agree. And don't like that idea. Still insulting. ;) I mean, except for the stamp thing. Stamps are not signatures, even if theoretically Stan himself stamped it. In that case it should be 'Stamped by Stan Lee". I don't need a company to tell me if it is a good or 'quality' signature or not - you can see that with the naked eye. Authentic or not is a different ballgame (kind of like Babe Ruth).
  10. Thanks for the clarification. I’m not sure why someone would want to grade a signature. Seems insulting. Either it’s real (in their opinion) or it’s not. I guess where it gets wonky is if you try and authenticate some signatures but not others on the same book. Anything more than 3 signatures on a book and it gets to be a mess IMO.
  11. Um, I like it?! I was Never a fan of getting books signed by people that did not actually work on a book so 2 is fine. I’d prefer 3 for writer, penciler and inker but 2 is a good start. I have books I had signed (my own personal “witnessed” signings) including George Perez and Jim Lee. I’ve had them on the side to send to “another grading company” that ends inBS:: for over a year now and just could never pull the trigger on it. Now I get to find out if those “John Byrne” signatures I have are real! And no I won’t have the signature “graded” wtf is that?!
