Do SIGNATURES hurt the book?

[Mr 9.8]

I want to have some of my books signed, but Does the ''INK'' hurt the book overtime? and is it better to sign the book on the cover or the first page?

Best compromise is to get your slab signed near the top white space or have coverless or low grade vg- semi-key comics signed. I like sigs on the bottom of pg. 1. Hate sigs spoiling the glory of the front cover.

If greggy can get a vacation for spamming, it's a safe bet you can too. Stop it.

I haven't seen signature keys sell for less than a non signature key. (same grade)

Yes

Have them sign the inside 1st page, leave the cover alone.

Until I saw a Frazetta signature, I would have said "hurt the book." His signature is "art" in itself and those signatures of his that I have seen show excellent taste in placement that does not detract from the cover art. I cannot say the same for anyone else. Some of the "big" names in the industry deface the book with a talentless scrawl. So, "OK" for Frank, "hurt the book" for everyone else.

Pencil needs to be sharpened first.

Penci l needs to be sharpened first.

Or you serious or joking around?

If you get it signed, I prefer to see the signature than hide it behind the cover on the 1st page. Get it on the cover or on the back. I do agree, I see SS same grade sell for more.

Ever see a Joseph Linsner autograph? Looks like art itself. The signature and usual placement adds to book.

more of a risk in getting the book damaged if its in HG.

In my case I had an AF#15 restored CGC 6.5 trimmed . I had it signed because I believe it would increase the value of the book alittle more than if it wasn't

 

 

As far as moderns go I would get any modern book signed here are a few examples of Modern books I have graded

Signatures scrawled in an indecipherable mess, hurt the book...

 

Too many sigs, hurt the book...

 

Signatures, properly placed, help the book...

 

If you are gonna get a CGC SS... why get the sig where you will never see it? The cover is all...
