I've got a Steve Ditko Fallen Son Sketch cover with Spider-man holding the Captain America shield. I was able to get the whole cast of Spider-man 1 to sign the back and it's graded CGC 10 SS.

 

But it's locked away and I refuse to show it to anyone.

:kidaround:

Actually, he signed the back along with the cast of the movie. I'm pretty sure there's a rule that any book he signs gets an automatic 10.

 

Ditka...

"If Mike Ditka submitted 8 comics to CGC how many would get graded 10.0?"

 

Answer: "Minimum Eight-Peat." (worship)

I'd rather have the Romita book than the Arnie book...

 

I'd say the Incentive for him needs to be increased also. $400 for an action star-turned-governor isn't a lot.

can't say and can't show sorry.

 

More like "can't come up with something good off the top of my head and definitely can't photoshop well enough."

 

:kidaround:

 

And just so I've got this right: you're claiming to have these "ultimate female celebrity sigs," but you'll never sell 'em, never show 'em, and never even say what they are? Excuse me if my BS alarm is going off... :whistle:

CHALLENGE:

 

Get a copy of any of the first volume of Grateful Dead Comix signed by all of the remaining members of the Grateful Dead which would include Phil Lesh, Mickey Hart, Bob Weir, Bill Kreutzmann, and any other members you feel necessary (ie Hornsby, etc)

 

 

If it gets done : I would pay $1000 cash, but I am sure Borock would spend a LOT more than that for this piece

 

 

If it doesnt get done: Ill take any of the sigs on an SS copy, and pay for the cost :)

I'm LOVING a lot of these ideas!

 

Maybe I'm alone here, but offering just a cash incentive if the challenge is completed seems a little boring. I saw someone was willing to offer a piece of OA from their collection and I offered to fly them out first class to a con. Let's see some more creative wagers!

 

How about some more books put on the line? Maybe this would be easier if we knew a few of the books that Chandler had in his personal collection that he'd wager if he failed!

 

The witnesses could offer their services during a show while Chandler and Sharon take a day to enjoy it (Much like MutantKeys suggested).

 

Or maybe even something like Alphatrion1's, offering something in the form of public humiliation. What do you say?
