I quintuple bag mine...

go Cap!

99 mystery "boxes" remain? You've sold 3. Are you saying you created 102 on purpose? I use the "boxes" in quotes because it is just a unpadded manila envelope. PM me that ebay link, yo!

Man-Thing against everybody! First Man-Thing I ever bought from the rack (my original copy)

have you ever noticed how often they had the Ring Master and his group show up? I always am surprised to see them up against yet another Marvel superhero.... they should have been serving time by now!

ooh-- mine was from when I was living in Chicago as a youngster and out of the Chicago Tribune.

from one business related comic to another..... Oh Yeah!

more Marvel Super Heroes

holy cow-- that must have cost you quite a bit-- some real gems in that group! so jealous

I would definitely have preferred a picture with someone much more than any signature. Even better is when you meet someone you admire, take a picture with them, then later on have them sign the picture with you on it. I did this several times with Lee Roy Selmon (former Oklahoma Sooner great and Bucs HOF 1995). The only signature I would part with was one he signed of him on a USF magazine cover- sold on Ebay (and shown below). and here is one of the pictures I had him sign after taking one with him....

No idea--- was not really part of the hobby at that point and I was about 14 (1979) when I stopped collecting the first time (and came back in 2014). I'm sure others had encounters though. Maybe search on "the time I met Jack Kirby" or something.

I'm fairly certain that was common knowledge and stuff I have read from the CGC forums in the past. I recall some collectors who had met Kirby in person and said he would open to the first page of the book when asked to autograph a comic. I sort of find that awesome as even he would prefer not to possible ruin the cover art when there is a perfectly perfect place to sign inside the book. Seeing a signature on the cover is practically never seen (or incredibly rare) and the size of that one is also a little suspect for that reason. Ultimately it only matters to the owner of the book though as no Kirby signature will ever be authenticated by CGC. The other companies might offer it but they tend to be less reliable across the board as far as I've seen. Still-- what a bonus it would be to someday open a new (to me) old comic and find his signature on the bottom of the splash page. I suspect I will only get there by acquiring some Kirby OA which is unlikely with my current finances.

Punisher Spidey cover to cover

Forget I said anything-- I would not trust something unverified but it is neat to see when people happen upon them on an inside cover because apparently it was not too uncommon for him to do that it might just be authentic. But with people actively faking signatures these days (i.e. Stan Lee)- I would NOT want to encourage them to start producing Jack Kirby fakes.

golden gorilla Gorr to gorrilla creature fighting a golden haired boy

not saying this applies to any of the ones presented so far-- but wasn't it somewhat common that his wife would occasionally sign his name inside covers? Kind of hard to know or find the difference between them as most I have seen look the same to me.

Hellcat to Ka-Zar's kitty

and to keep it going otherwise---- without leaning on another Dr Doom cover I know-- hard to resist but here is Doctor Doom to Doctor Blake

How are the stories connected? have both but too lazy to research it

Witches? Takes The Demon to defy one

Cheetah lady to being chased by talking tiger creatures
