  1. I agree this is a collectible of the sort that seems designed for old people with a little extra money but too confused to discern a real collectible from a contrived one. My dad used to have a coin collection. Some of the coins had value. Others were fake 'coins' that had never been currency anywhere but were hocked on TV, little discs with eagles on them painted red, white, and blue, that sort of thing. That said, my daughter wants to hang some of my ASM collection on her bedroom wall (it'll be her collection when I croak unless things get desperate). I have UV protected cases. I'm going to hang a selection of key issues, ASM #2, #3, #50, #121, #300 and so on. I think having this silver foil edition of AF #15 would be nice to fill that gap at the very start of the chronology, pending the day - if ever - that I am able to afford a bona fide AF #15 copy. With only 1,000 copies I suspect it will at the very least hold its value and it looks a lot better than other reprints I've seen. But then again, I also can't escape the feeling of falling for wildly_fanciful_statement.
  2. Some artist, like Mike Mayhew, sell signed comics straight from their website not witnessed. I doubt Mike Mayhew is selling forgeries of his own signature.
