mschmidt Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Went to one of my local stores today, and lo & behold in the new arrivals-box, there was a stack of signed, 1st print Bone's (nothing below #4, though). I grabbed the nicest copies, and walked away with a #1 (3rd print), 4, 6, 9-15 and the Wizard 13 1/2 in NM-/NM condition for $2-3 each - all of them signed, about half of them with little Fone Bone sketches as well. Some sweet pick-ups Mr. Schmidt! This #6 though is a reprint. I see the "3rd print" notation on your #1 so I don't know if you knew this or not about the #6. The first print has a red title. Yep, scanned the wrong book and was too lazy to change it - I picked up both a signed 1st print #6 and a later one as well (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocGo Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 Posted the books I got done at the recent Jeff Smith signing in the Infinite Signature Thread.

DocGo Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 Here is the first of my recent additions to my registry set. This was not my slabbed 9.8 but a raw that I picked up early last year. Graded it as a structural 9.8 but there is a mark on the "B" that I was a little worried about. I'm assuming the graders saw it as a printing error of some sort and didn't downgrade the book . Joel handled it perfectly and Mr. Smith graced it with a Ted doodle (I know it barely qualifies as a sketch but that's simply what Ted is). The "Phoney as Captain Ahab" is a recurring theme in the series but this is his only cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mschmidt Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Great book, chris! Am I the only one that's annoyed by the fact that CGC puts "signed & sketch by" on their SS books? It should be "signed & sketched by" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
