After researching the boards and Google, I have only been able to document 67 SS Frazetta books.

For those in the know, what is the benefit of keeping the total number of SS Frazetta books a secret?

Business includes customer satisfaction. However, when you have a near monopoly like CGC does, CS can take a back seat.

In other words, if the data is recorded somewhere, anywhere, great programmers can figure out a way to extract the data and provide whatever you are seeking in a format that allows one to slice and dice.

Increasing the bottom line is one thing, increasing customer satisfaction is another. Customer satisfaction can certainly have positive effects on the bottom line in the long run. My son is a programmer. He tells me things can be pulled from data sources that are not ideal. I have had the same experience in my long term career that included a lot of customization requests from programmers. Good programmers can do amazing things with less effort than one would expect.

CGC is pretty much a monopoly. Unfortunately, CBCS is not the best competition. Monopolies can avoid improving their services, up to a point. Sometimes things go crazy when you go a little too far. Ask Zuckerberg.

Greed.

Thank you Brittany. How many of those SS 9.4's were signed by Claremont?

I asked CGC if it were possible to show how many and what SS books were signed by Frazetta. Answer: "No, sorry." They either have very poor documentation on SS books or (more likely) are not willing to commit resources to provide such a breakdown.

Agreed. Thanks.

Incorrect

I call BS on this. I can make up numbers just as easy as you can.

Yep, I already have evidence of 3 signings. Meaning there were more than two. I have spent time documenting info from any source I can find. However, my spreadsheet only contains 65 books so far. Why would people in the know want to keep it a secret?

OK, so apparently no one knows for sure how many Frazetta SS signatures exist. I submitted a request to CGC for this information since one would think they would have it. Response was basically "Sorry, no can do."

Thanks! How does one get this information? It would be nice to have a complete listing of all Frazetta SS books.

Which begs the question: Exactly how many Vampirella #1 SS Frazetta sigs are there?

Your comment sounds like you are comparing this to Hulk 181. FYI, Frazetta SS series is very limited. I don't think Frazetta Vampirella #1 SS has 11,192 graded comics like Hulk 181 does. Jeesh!

This one at least. But don't forget "That's a hell of a nice 7.5"

Sold.

Howard bought most of Fogel's personal collection. I bought most of Fogel's personal collection (the stuff relating to Cherry) from Howard. Thank you for the suggestion though.

I was certainly interested. However, you are late to the party. I bought 1,000 acres of oceanfront property in Montana nearly three years ago.

OK. Cherry Mini's never show up for sale. I collect Cherry Mini's. I paid way too much for a Creepy #1. I may do the same for a Cherry Mini. There are board members who own Cherry Mini's. I may be able to rephrase this in two syllable words if that would help you.

And I know there are boardies who own copies. Don't be afraid to make me an offer. Don't forget I am the idjit who forked over $8,000 for a Creepy #1.

Yes Cherry Mini comic book. No, I don't have them all. Yes they are nearly impossible to find Yes I check the adult listings Yes I am still looking

I haven't seen a Cherry Mini on Ebay in over 2 years. What gives?
