One of my favourite Chuck stories is that his website cost him almost a million dollars to build and took him years to pay off but it was totally worth it. Even in 1996, that was not a million dollar job. But that's what Chuck paid. ...and he's not paid a dime for the site since...

I have needed this book forever. Great looking copy, fantastic price - -
If you just want to move a few - everything you've posted would sell on this board. (I'm not 100% sure about the ASM #678 just because I don't know much about that particular book, but the first 4, in/around GPA would go - and probably pretty quick!).

I’ve never seen this before - take it!

Whew - just about had a mad panic there - wasn't planning to be at the show Thursday until after 5...but can't miss Byrne, regardless of date & time! @Kevin Boyd - you figure they'll have it updated fairly soon? (Better safe than sorry!)
-
Agreed! The two books - thank God there are 7-ish weeks until the show because limiting it to just 2...is going to be the most difficult con decision I've had to make! This is a great package - I've always wanted to meet Bill Shatner and now I will. Great setup. And the rest of the guest list is spectacular.

@RadiantGraphix - thx for posting! 10 items is a great # - that it's only Star Trek - such is life.
-
Bc I'm not on top of it - what is "that" Star Trek book? It can't be any Byrne IDW Star Trek's? (I've actually got some of his Trek singles and maybe a TPB...)

Thanks for the heads up!

Yeah - where are folks getting the info on what he will/won’t sign at the FE shows? Is there anything that can be linked to or is it conjecture?

Same. I love the SS program. If Byrne consents to be part of it, I'll upload a dozen of those "take my money" memes. Much is said about John - but I hope he realizes - for a great, great many of us - he is THE guy THE name for a 15-year period of our comic reading careers. He was so prolific and so consistently great.

Sadly I have seen this. On multiple occasions. I've seen creators who will sign piles of books for free, but won't sign multiple copies of the same book and have fans argue "that's for my kid/cousin/wife/grandmother who loves your work just as much as I do." I've seen fans with full short boxes, just drop it down and when the creator say "Hey man - it's a pretty big line - can you limit it to 10 books so I can get to everybody" - said fans get irate - the "how dare you" approach. That's not a fan - it's a jerk. My personal favourite story - Peter David - this guy had a stack that was miles high - probably 75 books, including all of David's first X-Factor (this was before he did a 2nd X-Factor LOL). PAD was signing like crazy, he gets to X-Factor #90, puts it aside, keeps signing. Guy says "Uh...you missed one..." PAD: "I only sign books I worked on - I didn't do that one." Guy: "...but I want to get Peter David's whole X-Factor run signed - if you don't sign that I won't get them all signed" PAD: "I didn't write that one." Guy: "...but I want to get Peter David's whole X-Factor run signed - if you don't sign that I won't get them all signed" PAD: "I am Peter David...with what I've signed, you have my whole run." Guy: "...but you need to sign that one too..." At that point about 5 of us told the guy to keep moving. He was visibly upset and in my biased opinion - clearly a combination of insufficiently_thoughtful_person and illiterate. If he was a fan...couldn't he have read the book, including the credits? All that said - your point is well taken. None of us can determine what drives someone else's fandom. For Byrne, I would love to get a single book from every major run he did - but I recognize some folks would rather just get every X-Men signed. In this case, like you said from NYCC, we're all probably going to get a Star Trek or two and then have to look through our piles of his industry-defining work from Marvel & DC...and pick one book.
