Hello all,
This is my first post. I mostly collect USA coins and silver bullion. I understand slabs since some of my coins are in NGC. I know very little about comics but I want to buy some Stan Lee signed comics for myself and step-sons. I want to avoid fakes. I'll likely buy CGC slabs with Stan Lee to be confident they are genuine. I know Stan Lee had used his own COA card with hologram stickers. I read on another blog a collector could buy Stan's COA/stickers at a signing but only if they had a comic signed by Stan Lee at the time.
On ebay a seller has Stan Lee signed comics with Stan's COA/stickers.that are very close in number sequence from 35919 to 35927. The signatures look different from each other to me. See pics. I assume Stan signed these during the same sitting since the numbers are close together? As I said I am a newbie to comics so I wonder....
1. Are these genuine signatures and genuine stickers? This means Stan varied his signature somewhat perhaps since he had a lot to sign, maybe was in a hurry or he was bored and purposely varied them?
2. The signatures are fake but someone was able to obtain Stan's genuine COA/stickers and use them?
3. The signatures are fake and the COA/stickers are also fake? In the coin collecting world the Chinese have made a lot of fake coins and some have made fake slabs with fake labels also.
Please offer your opinions, Maybe I am overly concerned. Thanks. Mark.
