Shark Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Congrats on the grade bump! Very nice book! Did Stan use a worn out sharpie? Kinda looks like it doesn't it? That was one of the first things I noticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was one of the first things I noticed. Very nice; it didn't look like it deserved a 5.5 the first time around. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conan_Aficionado Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I debated about doing it for quite a while, but I finally decided to submit my AF #15 to Sean McLoughlin at NYComics to have it signed by Stan Lee. I thought it would raise the value of the book more than the total cost of signing and reslabbing plus it would just look a hell of a lot better with the mostly yellow label. So I cracked it out of its original slab, sent it in to Sean and it just came back today. What originally was this: Just came back as this: I always felt that it was too harshly graded the first time around so I was hoping for a slight grade bump after the signing. But I was very happy with it going all the way up to a 6.5! And it changed from an EP (Extensive Professional) to an MP (Moderate Professional) to boot! winning!!!

Bosco685 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 A board member was looking for high-grade examples of these books, and asked if I would submit them to CGC before buying them. I said 9.6, and CGC disagreed. Should I start a Comics General thread? I think someone is going to be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtlasFan Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 (edited) Here is a copy that I had for 20 years that I finally got slabbed. I bought it, restored, from Mr Slobodian -- it looks just great! Maybe if I get Stan to sign it, it will come back a Moderate 7.0 ! Edited March 19, 2011 by AtlasFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
