FF #1 Question

[parlourguy]

Hi, I don't know if I should post this here or in the signature series forum, but here goes, I have this FF #1

I am thinking of having stan lee sign it. I have the first (SA) Captain America, Thor, Antman and Iron Man signed by him already.

My real concern is that I can very clearly see (though it is harder to see in this picture) that a long part of the right front edge of the book looks like it is ready to chip off. I don't want my 4.0 returned as a 3.0, and more so I hate chipping.

Any help/thoughts would be appreciated

No No No

 

Too many of your books have been ruined enhanced.

 

Get him to sign a reprint or somesuch

Don't do it. See the AF15 elsewhere that Stan signed across the front with a Sharpie marker. Not good.

[Fedoraman]

Have him sign the first page like Kirby used to - instead of the FC.

Don't do it Bro......it's not a baseball, and Stan Lee is not Babe Ruth.

[Monstro]

yeah i don't think with a mega key like that it's a good idea. IMHO

Please allow me to add to the greek chorus with a resounding NOOOOOO!!!!

 

I'm not against signature series books or getting books signed in general, but not that book and certainly not that copy.

If you just HAVE to have it signed and you're not planning to ever sell it, just have him sign the slab. Would that compromise suit you?

Inside splash page would be a great place for a signature.

 

I also liked the technique of signing the plastic case with a sharpie. It may seem a little lame but its still a sig.

The only way I would get an FF 1 signed is if it was a low grade copy (below 3.0), or it was restored.

[EvilAsh]

Well, I'm going to go against the crowd here and say HAVE HIM SIGN IT!!!!

 

I love Signature Series books, and this would not be "ruining" the book in any way

If you truly want the sig...get it!

 

Do what will please you the most.

Can someone post that scan of the AF15 that Stan Lee signed with the sharpie? A picture is worth a thousand words.

As an autograph collector as well, I highly recommend having Stan sign with a fine tip Sharpie or Rollerball. His signature loses all grace and style when using a thick tip marker and ends up looking like a big black blob. A fine tip looks soooo much nicer.

I wouldn't do it but that's me. I'm just not into sigs :shrug:

Do what you want to with it. It's your book. I would however get a video/stills/witnessed. On the inside page would be a good place for it. I have a raw X-Men 1 signed by him. Well before CGC was around. I have a video of the signing. Plus a few stills. One of me with him of course..

Zipper is spot on-- if you DO have him sign it, make sure it's a fine point marker. His signature can be a little messy if it isn't done this way.

Get a copy with minimal colour touch on the cover and have him sign it over those spots
