Would you get Signature Series on a book like this?

I was making the point that his signature only improves the pedigree.

 

$5,000 worth?

 

The CGC SS clearly worth thousands in this case, as opposed to just signing the blue label which would be graphitti, and just cost you a reholder fee.

 

Frazetta is the big deal here, the Church pedigree takes second fiddle in this case. W/out Frazetta this is a $2500 book, with it, in the CGC SS slab, a $7500.

 

I guess it's just this attitude in general I disagree with. Seemed like sour grapes to me (insulting any non-SS Frazetta sig, calling it "graphitti"). If not.... feh. Carry on.

Kinda takes the warm and fuzzy off the I called Mrs Frazetta and watched a Mets game with Frank story.

 

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that an opportunity for some sort of wild profit/flip would not go unrealized.

Just to make sure...

Chain did not sell the book, but did organize the signing.

No.

 

Yes.

Don't get me wrong, Jon. I love you SS guys and appreciate all the work you do, but I just see this gilding the lily. Personally, I would have chosen another Frazetta book to have been signed.

 

The more prominent pedigree books should be left alone. They have their own special story.

Doc,

I am just ya...

Everyone has their own opinion on the book. Would I have personally done it, no, but I am not someone who gets $2500 books signed on either.

Still, to each their own, but I can definitely see either side of the argument on this one...

Better than any North Carolinian phrase that would fall from your lips, Mayberry.

Maybe you would have been more familiar with the expression, "That dog don't hunt."

I a not all that well versed in the history of comic restoration but it seems like people actually thought of it as a much better idea in the past then they generally do today (and that can be seen by the pricing). Could SS be the same twenty years from now with people thinking it was a crazy thing to do?

Ah, it's always nice to converse with such a well-read group.

Discuss.

 

EDITED: Danny started a SS specific thread on this topic as well here.

 

Wasn't this book offered on the Metropolis site for $2500?

 

$7500 seems insane.
