@ADAMANTIUM No, no, no !
The one anorexic Ult Spidey is saying to the other one: "How could you slab this issue? I will fight you over it!"
Maybe they need to fight over a cheeseburger...

That's a major reason I have against scrawling it over the cover of a GSXM 1. A big and quite messy-looking sig.
Also, you couldn't then add the main creators associated with the book, Wein and Cockrum, who are dead, and settling just for Claremont's signature seems incomplete and a bit of a flawed exercise; historically, at least.
If I were into sigs, Dave Cockrum's would be an absolute necessity for this book.
Hey which one of you is Cockrum?....

You did me a major solid on the info on GSX 1 and claremont. U the best adam. I just hope romita lives long enough the dude is like 90 and lives in long island NY... we have corona up the coolie over here

True I guess, although I'm not too sure how "common knowledge" that is, until someone asks why is that sig included?
Just something to keep in mind idk
I didnt know about romita on hulk 181 until the guy that i use to facilitate who knew i had one told me about it. I told him i have 181 but everyone is dead. he goes not everyone. thomas still alive and romita. I was like Romita? yea he did his head.. Live and learn

That's a thing though
Claremont seems to be added with other truer big names so 
at least claremont contrributed to the book. romita and trimpe are there for wolverine

trimpe and romita

claremont AND romita!

You're awful, or maybe mint in box
In my college days of dorming away from home, it was the only way to find out which one of my undies were clean. no skid marks meant ok to skip laundry day till tomorrow

That would be Awesome!
It always tripped me out and sometimes still does on certain comics, often 9.6 or 9.8, that you can see the 1st page through the cover.
Quirky but cool ha
Its like wearing Tighty whities... Its the only way to know they are clean...

Lol I wasn't as impressed early on with the "art", as much as, the 9.8 in the corner, signature series and signed on 1st page.
This might have been close to the 4th cgc slab that I had held in person
Would love to bring this one home.... Look into my Todd father made eyes...

I get it. Most collectors like rare as possible. Newsstand, Canadian, error ect. Just interesting it took all these years for it to become popular and crazy popular.
I get the errors part, but the bar code vs no bar code stuff still makes my eyes roll. not into that one

So i've turned my book into something more rarified. I've taken a normal book and moved myself into a category with more limited supply. But by doing so, i've also reduced the demand on my book because not every collector is out there looking for a signed book. The fact that fewer of something exist, doesn't necessarily make it better. There are fewer copies of Hickman's X-Men #1, but that doesn't make it more valuable than Chris/Jim/Scotts. It's the content that drives it. Wolverine #1 in a 10 or Hulk #181 in a 9.8? I'm taking the 9.8.
At the end of the day it boils down to what makes you happy. For me, it just became an expensive part of the hobby that I didn't necessarily enjoy the way I thought I would. But if you enjoy sigs on your books, then go for it. All I can offer is the personal experience I went through of going from wanting books signed, to not wanting them signed. (Again, moderns excluded because they're easy to replace.)
I hear you completely. For me, the joy of the story part faded years ago when they started making so many earths that they started numbering them to tell them apart.
then they blow them up and redo who there mothers were.. etc.. 
so for me at this stage in my life, all i can do is take what i own and turn into a financial commodity. And with Hollywood desperate for stories, I have no problem enjoying that part of my collections... (kissing my Eternals 1 9.8 as i type)

I get it. I dont think they verify inside the book Signatures. Haven't seen one. But why not? And I dont think they would be as valuable. And to me hulk 181 is a great cover. I dont want it polluted with Signatures. Avengers annual 10 you can put 30 Signatures on the cover and I wouldn't care. I don't want neither of those books but just examples.
11 and counting...

here is another one that i am eying. Im a big Todd father fan. especially on how he draws spiderman. got ASM 298 299 300 of coarse. spider mam 1-16 etc. Looking at AMS 301 Do you know a 9.8 is at LEAST 1k????? I was like why? Until i ask a couple of guys who own shops. Apparently a 9.8 on that book is REALLY hard to come by for some reason, probably because its an all white cover, the price tanks as soon as it goes to 9.6 and lower.
Its unique

It lowers the amount that exist. Uniqueness has value.
I just picked up moon knight 12 1st appearance of morbius 100 bucks nothing crazy. I got it because frank miller did the cover. Going to submit it for his signing. Making it unique.

Why did Signatures get so popular? I know artist n dealers like the money, as do the resellers but why fans? Or do they buy them as a investment? Used to be you would get the splash page signed. Now are books. Like real books signed on cover as well or inside of the book?
Nothing against stan. And he was in great shape for his age. But would have I have wanted him handling my comic and slopping down his terrible later years Signature picking out the worst area of the cover to sign with my 10 grand comic with his handlers only objective to get as many people through the assembly line as fast as possible?

Add this to my worthless pile. CGC just finished grading and pressing (after 5 months!!!!!) AMS 361 362 363. The 362 apparently had a stain on the back cover that i did not notice. A big fat 8! A raw one is worth more. Not bad for 50 bucks in grading, pressing and shipping
