Looks like his old signature. A little odd because he usually doesn’t forget the “c” ... but old signatures are harder to keep track of. I’m more familiar with his current signature.

They must be present. No, the pre-signed books will get green label if Alex is not there PERSONALLY to atest it’s authenticity. The lottery system is terrible, but due to demand and the cast not wanting to sit there all day then your best bet is to pick ONE and try real hard. If you don’t normally pray, I suggest starting to pray every day. Your chances are slim to none of you don’t do your research first and then queue up hours beforehand. That’s just how it is. That’s why those cast signed books go for thousands of dollars on the aftermarket. As far as finding a facilitator goes look in the “signing event” thread in this forum to see who’s got SDCC plans. I know RichHenn, dscott, and many others will be there for sure. Reach out soon, deadlines to get books in their hands to help you get signatures is coming up fast.

Here is a good post about that stuff. https://www.comicburst.com/blog/cgc-comic-book-grading-labels/

Straight from John Byrne's website yesterday... now deleted (because I think he knows he looks like a fool responding this way). But here you go! John Byrne is one of the few creators I know of that is a complete jerk to the vast majority of his fans.

It might get graded as “ART” ... meaning it won’t come in the hard case, just the protective sleeve like original art sketches on large paper stock.

We’re you going to get each page graded individually?

Actually, I’m not sure why I phrased it that way. It’s likely that he’s signing any IDW Star Trek books and trades. I believe he also has a special release at that show. I forget if it’s a artifact edition or something similar. The main take away is that he will only be signing Star Trek books. No Marvel. Google it. Pretty sure he has stuff on his own blog site about it too.

The information is the same regardless... he's only going to sign that Star Trek book... nothing else.

I know someone who works at IDW, and they confirmed with me that he will ONLY be signing the Star Trek books. He’s already told *them* not to market it for ANY OTHER items. Star Trek items only. Period.

Is this going to be a Virgin, or with Trade Dress???

Oh, and my DNA commission that he started in Argentina and finished at home for me.

Here’s my Khoi Pham piece from a couple months ago...

No Batgirl 23 Middleton Variant offering? :-(

It’s on the show website... Captain America, Loki, Scralet Witch, Spider-man, and Thor will be there.

Nope.

If you get it graded it will receive the Qualified (Green) Label and say, “Name written on cover in ink.”

I believe he announced that he is doing SCHEDULED signings with CGC. Not at his booth.

PRICE FOR THIS OP????

I'm not sure what you were trying to imply here. They are just there to provide a service that fans want. Now that Stan has an entirely new management team, no one had made any arrangements for the CGC crowd. CC stepped in to fix the problem. And the fact the CC deals with a huge stable of ICONS in this industry, they are more than qualified to offer their services like this. But you've been around the block, you should know this.

I’d rather see him charge $5 a signature and drop the prices on his sketch covers to a reasonable price than have him giving away his signature and charging RIDICULOUS prices for sketch ops. $4000-11,000 is a price range that gets you ORIGINAL PUBLISHED ART by Jack Kirby and the likes. I can partial understand pricing work at a level so he doesn’t have to take on a lot of commissions, but I’m the conspiracy theorist that just thinks some facilitators take advantage of the artists they represent and the fans are the ones that end up paying dearly for it. That being said, I still hope to get a piece by Jim in the future.

Part of me thinks that Albert Moy is to blame for that ridiculous price. But that might be a result to the brain-scrambling I got by reading this entire thread again just now. The 3-4 times I’ve met Jim Lee he seems really charitable and nice... not the kind of guy who charges $1000 for a card stock sketch or $4000 for a bust on a sketch cover. The man gives away more detailed pieces on each of his Twitch streams.

What’s the cost?

What is the convention? I'm not aware of ANY shows or conventions that Stan Lee will be attending right now. I'm not sure now that Max is out of the picture, if companies like Anastasia's Collectibles still has a deal with Stan and company right now. Again what is the show you are talking about?

I think we can all agree that the barcode belongs on the BACK COVER. Here are the two ways I would have changed it without getting rid of all the EXCESS that DC wants for "marketing" purposes and allows for maximum white space for ACTUAL ART which is the whole point of a blank cover anyhow!!!
