MR SigS

I'd want The Molecule Man on my team, but only if things in his personal life are going well.

Apparently Newton Rings are acceptable for some. There's someone on their forum (someone I always considered a "loyal" CBCS member) showing off his CGC returns in 2 big boxes... One to sell and one for his "PC". I'm sure Borock or whoever just loves those posts on their forum

It's an old poll from 11 years ago. The only thing about her death I think they should change (or done differently) is before she dies, she learns the man she loves is also the man she hates. That would have really messed up Peter's mind.

Brought some commissions by Mike Royer home today- He's still going strong at 79 He's still accepting offers for recreations.

After this thread I wonder if seller's will see an increase in requests to accept a method of payment other than what they have listed.

I've yet to invite Mike Royer and his wife to our home, and I'm sure they're wondering when it's going to happen, but it seems so inadequate after being to their home. I'm SURE it isn't an issue, and I'm trying to get past that obstacle.

If you "care about accuracy and honesty....just as much as [CGC SS users] do", then that would suggest you put just as much faith in an unwitnessed 23 year old Jack Kirby sig as you would an Adam Hughes sig witnessed last year by a CGC AW. Does this also suggest that, once an unwitnessed sig is verified by BAS, you then believe 100% that it's the real deal? All doubt you may have had otherwise is erased? If not, then "just as much" isn't accurate, because the SS program removes that doubt- The SS customer never feels it, and they don't want to feel it. That's why they use the SS Program. A friend gave me a CBCS Kamandi #1 with a VSP Label (Kirby- Cracked out by me so Mike Royer could sign it). Appreciating the gesture no less, I strongly suspect it was actually signed by either Roz, or perhaps Mark Evanier (or some other proxy). It could also be authentic. I'll never know, and even if the person(s) at BAS have a better guess, they could never know any more or less than I. There are many books released during the known years Kirby had proxy's signing books, and there are verified sigs from that period. There's a good chance some of them were proxy sigs. That there are accounts of people submitting books to CBCS, that they themselves got signed decades before, only to be told the sig can't be verified should be reason enough to question anything that is verified. If CBCS wants their Brand associated with this, fine. If CGC does not, just as fine, and for some better. I admit there are benefits in using the service if it saves someone from wasting [more] money on an obvious fake, but I completely understand and appreciate CGC wanting no part of it. It's interesting how many regulars post their big CGC returns there. That CGC books usually get more money is a quietly accepted fact there (many sellers), and it's been said their personal books go in CBCS slabs. I honestly respect any who admit as much, fwiw. It's just my opinion, but I think if "CBCS loyalists" want CGC to add this service, it's because of money.

Can one get a phony sig certified at CBCS? Yes. Can one get an authentic sig denied at CBCS? Yes. The same questions posed to CGC get "no" for both answers.

Our cat's like that too. It's like she's possessed- Eyes wide and totally black, meowing in another cat's deep voice. Trippy.

Has Burne Hogarth been mentioned? Also, wouldn't time need to end before this topic can be truly answered?

I was wondering when someone was going to pull out a measuring stick.
