@Jose2099 Was that frame custom made for the book? Thanks.

I like the custom label with that book!

Thanks. I also thought the custom label worked really well with this cover.

No, you can buy the frames from Coinzcomics.com; sometimes the CGC frames are only on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08F7JMGBD?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

They go out of stock a lot though so buy them if you see them in stock.

All from Big Apple Comic Con. All alone on top in the Signature census. Issue 1 of the monthly magazine came out on top of the entire census (only 3 total)

Might have 2 more infrequently encountered books getting his signature in February. I'm definitely becoming more biased toward getting signatures on books they don't sign very often.

Sounds awesome.

I like that also if done in person it can strike up a conversation that some may not have had, would love to hear how it goes. In person is not always attainable and I understand that keeping the signer on their toes will be just the same . If it is something they've worked on then good to go.

I've heard it said that Steranko himself had a somewhat limited body of work, but I haven't done my own research. I DO like the idea of it though, so good for you.

Another book finished up at CGC today. First of this book on the census. By my research, the preview came out ~2 months before the original series. IDK if there were any other previews that came out at the same time or before.

Only one signed. Also super rare signature of Leonard Starr.

So at the moment this is the only 9.8 CGC SS.

I don't think these are super unique, but currently these are the lone signed versions of these books, so I'll throw them up here:

Black Panther signed by Ivan Tao:

Futurama 72 signed by Katey Sagal - placement didn't quite get there:

And Futurama 43, signed by Lauren Tom:

Very happy to have these in the collection, but also have the nagging feeling of 'why is no one else having these books signed...'

Oops forgot about these two as well:

It looks like you chose books that have covers prominently featuring the characters that the voice actors play. That is very cool. But it is not necessarily standard operating procedure. I used to try to get the highest grade #1 or jam cover done and try to get as many sigs on one book as possible - to get the biggest bang for the SS buck. That is probably more SOP in the SS world. I would say that is why you are doing a lot of "1st done" celeb books.

Thx! yeah I was thinking about doing an 'everybody signs #1' Futurama book, but this seemed more interesting - also getting everyone to sign a single book would be a big hit to the wallet, and this seemed to lessen the blow, or at least slow it down over time

I couldn't find a good one for Phil LaMarr tho. I got a couple other Futurama sigs (my fav I think is Welker), but they're not singles on the census, so I posted them over in the Celebrity thread.

I thought the same thing when I started doing Dragonball voice actor signatures. I could fork out the money to get a number one and have multiple people sign it over and over or I could get individual books that are meant for the specific voice actor's character. In the end I decided to go with the multiple books and I've been very happy with the results so far!

Really like Fiumara's work, and thought these went well as a set. He was attending NYCC last year, so was able to snag some sigs (and a sketch)! And they're the only SS books on the census)
