Do signature series fans get thier books personalized?

[MCMiles]

I not a big fan of signed comics for some reason. I don't mind it so much on modern books and like the blank/sketch covers, but have never really embraced the concept of having someone sign a book 20 - 40 years after the fact.

 

I'm curious if Sig Series fans get their books personalized often? If not, why not?

This is my only personalized SS book.....

I haven't. It would limit the resale value. With your name being Michael, you wouldn't want to own a book signed, "Thank you for standing in line. I bet your feet hurt, Drew. Chris Claremont"

Just one for me, actually told Suydam to personalize it.

I don't and don't remember ever getting a request for one.

you know what, i don't like sig series, but i wouldn't mind a personal one....interesting. its gotta be a comic your gonna keep. imo its gonna destroy the resale value of most comics.

I got my X-Men #50 (thanks mschmidt) signed by Jim Steranko. He actually insisted to get my name although I didn't want it personalized. Decided to keep the book and not sub it for SS. You live and you learn.

(thumbs u I always prefer to have my SS personalized when I can. It makes it special for me and something I wil be able pass down later on. I feel the same way my OA. Good times!

Yeah, unless it is something you plan to never let go of then it wouldn't be a bad idea to get it personalized. I've been pondering over this for a while now whether to get a few of my books made out to me or not. But if you ever had to or wanted to resell a personalized book, like The_Boys said, I'm sure it's going to effect the value somehow since it is made out to someone else. Unless the buyer of course have the same name as the person the book is made out to.

[jordanscott]

If I did SS in person or sent comics to witnesses for the same, I'd love to get em personalized.

 

I don't care about resale potential since I buy for myself, not to speculate, so getting my name on a few books from the author or artist would be awesome.

Only for you, buddy. Only for you.

I think I agree with you Mike on old vs. new books & the SS series. As for inscriptions vs. autographs, I have the same old vs. new problem but also there is the resale issue. It is like a convention sketch. I just don't wanna buy a sketch inscribed to MCMiles. That sketch is yours. Not mine.

 

Now post your Superman standee in General dude. It's sweet.
