Garf Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Woah...not many of them around!! What's the story on those then (?), I can't say I have ever looked into how many were printed. I was fortunate enough to have a chat with Jeff and Vijaya in Kendal at the Lakes Festival after Jeff had done a live radio interview for a breakfast show. It was sheer coincidence that we were in the same place where it took place and nobody else was around in the gallery because the festival proper wasn't starting for another 60 - 90mins (can't recall exactly). I didn't actually think I would be able to see Jeff that weekend as some of the events I attended clashed with his and his signings. Usual small talk and some Bone fan stuff, then Jeff asked me if I had seen how much these were going for on eBay, I said that I had and they both said they must have a box of them lying around somewhere Anyway he was kind enough to sketch whilst chatting... and then it turned out later on that I was able to get to his table in time by the skin of my teeth. The placement of his bag in the third pic says "last sketch of the day!". Savvy Collector 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THB Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Alright....I now know how you can pay me back........ That sketch rocks!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cujobyte Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Thanks for posting the pics Garth. Jeff sure looks different than the last time I saw him, in 09'. I took a picture for him and Slash (G&R) together at the Book Expo in LA. The "story" on Bone 1 I think you mean? Well it's always been tough in grade, and especially in 9.8. Heck in anything past 9.0 imo. I'm sure Jeff has them tucked away, but whether they are high grade is another story all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

followtheleader Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Does Jeff purposely personalize to minimize sales on E-bay and such? Or are people requesting that? I'd friggin' die for a Bone sketch. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garf Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I honestly don't know. He asked me for my name. I don't usually go for personalisation but I knew I was keeping it so didn't decline it. The TWD blank and the other quick sketch he did for me aren't personalised so based only on my own experience you can ask for either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimik Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Wow. According to GPA this 9.6 Bone #1 sold for $2350 this month. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bone-1-Jeff-Smith-1st-Print-CGC-9-6-WHITE-pages-/291285244252?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item43d1f4195c Looks like it is starting to float up along with all of the other Copper and Modern keys or 1st apps that are popping.
