    Todd McFarlane CGC Private Signing December 2019

    in The Signature Room

    I find this whole thing fascinating. Todd has been available through various private signings since at least 2010 or 2011. If you wanted them, you could get them. Pure speculation is that there would maybe be a couple hundred or so done every time.  CGC announces that they are running the process themselves, and they get 13,000 submissions.

    This is maybe a wake-up for CGC to realize the demand for Sig Series, and that maybe they should take control of the program themselves.  I wonder who has been saying that for over a decade . . .

    Some examples of keys I believe need reviews.  I know the algorithm is based on rarity, issue, title.  In today's market price is a big indicator of rarity on keys.

    Werewolf by Night #32  a 7.5 is worth 250 points and goes for about $900 

    She-Hulk #1 9.8 is worth 440 points and goes for $300 

    Marvel Premiere #15 CGC 9.2 675 points worth about $400 

    Daredevil #168 9.6 925 points  worth about $400

    Amazing Spiderman #194 9.6 380 points worth over $500

    Mine goes back to the very first email address I ever had, and it's the screen name I've used on pretty much every message board and site for the last 22-25 years.

    It's probably as well known as my actual name which everyone uses here and elsewhere anyway. At this point it would confuse more people if I didn't use it. 

    Yea you would get way too many autograph requests if you used your real name, Jon

    If I'm looking for something specific, nine times out of ten I can call @MrBedrock shop & they'll either have it in house, or can have it transferred to the closest location.

    Then there's that 1/10.

    I'll check MCS.com, post on the boards to see if any of ya'll are willing to part with (enter book here), and as a last resort eBay. If I come up short, I start making calls, including to Mile High Comics.

    Mile High Comics website is abysmal; the pinnacle of 1992 website design. I ignore it, and go straight to the phone call. The people who answer the phone are always polite & helpful. If they have what I'm looking for, I have to evaluate if I'm willing to pay 20-30% over what an eBay copy is going for, while rolling the dice on their evaluation of a book's condition (if raw, not always consistent), and shipping. Sometimes, for that "gotta have it" book, its worth it. (Most) other times, its a hard pass. Still, they have their niche, and their place in the comic collecting world.

    Do you ask for Chuck or Bettie when you call?
