A Proposal: Annual Signature Series Witness Award(s)

[Par2ch]

Didnt I hear Steve Ditko will be doing a small signing next to where Kris lives in a few months

[SignatureSelect]

Ditko doesn't leave his house nor does he sign so I won't fall for that one either. You guys really need to think of a creator or celebrity I would believe might come to dallas and sign. Please note it needs to be a creator I really like or haven't gotten a SS book from.

Other wise I would pass it up. And don't try using Mcfarlane because I can just call and ask.

How about shiny objects? If we placed one in front of you would it stall you for several days at a time?

[SignatureSelect]

I do like shiny objects. But alas I have many and do not need more. This would not stall me.

 

You want to know the secret way to trick me. Use a name like Sam Kieth, Steve Sckroce,

Stephen Platt, Rob Zombie, ect.

 

Don't list the exact location or time. I will go mad looking for the information. That will stall me for about 3 day. then I will give up.

Leaving little bread crumbs for Kris to follow right into the storm celler and it has a BIG lock on the door and I have an electric switch on the door ready so when Kris steps in, SLAM. I'VE GOT HIM.

You aren't very inventive are you. Everybody knows that for personal reasons alan moore won't leave the UK. Plus I don't go in storm sellers there is something just not right about them.

[CollectingStanLee]

Ok, jumping in back to the original idea. Why not have a CGC awards event that honors both witnesses and collectors? Some of these collections are certainly worth honoring. And being the smart business people that they/we are, you could turn the whole thing into a giant signing/sketching opportunity if you brought in some artists/creators to hand out the awards. At any rate, it would be a lot of fun.

[Jason Truong]

There are awards for collectors... the CGC Registry Awards.

 

As for turning this into a giant signing/sketching opportunity, I don't see that happening.

Rogue Signature Series Witness

(who is the witness that stays out of the spotlight the most?) This way they get the spotlight for a minute.

 

Best Private Signing Set up by a Witness

(for bringing the community an opportunity they could not get through a con)

 

 

 

I also like Mutant Key's idea about the regional thing. That way each region has their top guys....it is an interesting twist.

[NYComics]

OH I just thought of one more.........this one could be judged on a show by show basis by the people at the CGC booth.

 

Who commissioned/acquired the best pieces (artistically) on their books per show.

 

 

-We know we show the cgc guys our hot sketches.

-Going to these cons is all about getting the most done possible in the short time you have. (at least for me)

-you know everyone races for commissions anyway.

-Also this way someone who only goes to one or two shows (instead of the overall mass yearly award idea) has a shot at being recognized for their ability to get good artwork out of the talent that is present. (which is a definite SKILL IMO) (going off of Jesper's point about attention to detail/quality etc.)

[plitch]

Do you guys honestly feel that this will bring you together and not cause in-fighting? I mean, you already are a roudy bunch as it is.

[chainnball]

if CGC doesn't want to do this, maybe we can do it on the board as a community start a thread for each category and let the people decide.

[NYComics]

it probablly only would give people a new thing to put in the signature of their posts.....
