Looking forward to meeting Andy at the Cincy show to get my Tony Moore sigs.

He's an awesome witness. Definitely not what I was expecting at a somewhat crammed show in a tiny hall. Very friendly and you can tell he really enjoys the hobby.

[N/A]

Hopefully I can meet him next year.

[jonjesper]

we have to go through DWC as well or something for a tony signing don't we ?.. cause he charges that $5 or whatever

 

It was me originally, but have set it up so that Facilitators and/or 'preferably' CGC or myself can take the books and money to Tony. Andrew will be fine at Cincy for anyone wondering...

Is CGC grading the Argentina issues of the WD?

Yes

Yes

 

Not very fairly.

[jonjesper]

Or very fairly depending on your POV

Really interested to hear grades as more get them!

[N/A]

Mine are still a few weeks away.

[brendanb438]

I think I am going to get Tony to sign my #1 and #2 from Argentina. Was going to get the #10 signed with the 1st Michonne cover, but there is a slight crease on the back which almost looks like it is from a nail being slammed into it.

 

I don't think it would grade about a 9.2 so not sure if it would be worth getting it signed and slabbed.

[NewWorldOrder]

Take them to the booth and let them crack them out unless you want to learn how to crack them.

 

Any SS slab MUST be cracked by them for the signatures already on the book to be recognized SS by CGC again.

 

I personally crack my own and don't recall ever losing my pre-crack grade. In fact I have cracked a 9.6 universal and it returned 9.8 SS. although I'm sure that's rare.

 

Honestly on modern books that is quite common.

 

But good for you none the less.

[brendanb438]

Well my issue #1 and #2 have been cracked from their slabs and are prepped to get signed by Tony this weekend. Wow getting stuff SSed and slabbed starts to add up quickly.

 

Not to mention getting some sketches also done at the show. Looks like I might spend a grand on SS books and sketches alone.

Is that one grand?

[brendanb438]

Yes, which is pennies compared to someone like you Jeff. I am scared to see how much you spend in a year getting stuff signed and slabbed.

 

 

Excited to add hopefully a few more #19 to the 9.8 category w/ Tony's sig on them. I thought long and hard about cracking and getting signed the one I got from you but my luck it would somehow get damaged and downgraded. So it will stay in its slab.

Well not pennies. It's a large chunk of change.

[jonjesper]

Just don't ask for any sketches on them...and make sure to talk to GACollectibles before you get them signed!

Is this something Tony flat out refuses to do? I am meeting up with Andrew before getting anything done at the show so I won't make the mistake of getting it signed without a witness there. I can only imagine that is something that happens all too often.

 

[jonjesper]

It never hurts to ask for one, I shouldn't have put it that way, but Kara will be very adamant that he can't.

Hope that makes sense!

[N/A]

I kept meaning to ask why at FanExpo and never found the time.

[synch]

so how do you get a sketch by tony at a con & can you get them done on blanks ?..
