Im glad to see that the huge Stan lee signature is on the slab and not on the book itself. Not a huge fan og large signatures like that one. And I agree that there is no increase in value if a slab is signed. To me, signing a slab is pointless because it can be easily rubbed off and like what others are saying, hard to authenticate it.

I don;t like it... no way to prove authenticity, and the book itself is not a signed copy, just the piece of plastic... This kind of signature is pointless, IMNSHO... It adds nothing for me to the desirability or value of the book, and if I found it in a yard sale, the first thing I would do is clean the slab off...

 

Still looking for my first yard sale featuring slabbed comics.

Me too! Me too! :roflmao:

 

Went to one about 4 months ago. :hi:

Don't laugh. I actually had a garage sale this summer featuring nothing but comic books and had 2 short boxes of slabs out. I sold some raw comics that day but no slabs. (shrug)

I disagree. He just graphitoo'ed the cover forever...

 

Why anyone pays more for a defaced comic is beyond me. I prefer the way they used to do it on the first page of the comic in the margin.

Maybe because some company promoted the notion that any signature not accompanied by a yellow label is worthless?

Yellow label . . . :cloud9:

 

I have some yellows myself. :cloud9::cloud9:

 

I just don't subscribe to the notion that everything not sanctioned by one is worthless. A lot of authentic autographs have been signed prior to CGC's existence and outside of their presence.

 

:grin:

Which would still get a yellow label if witnessed by a CGC employee or designated witness. I have an Iron Man #128 that's like that (see below). You can't see the sig (because it's on the first page) but it's still a yellow label and noted as such by CGC on the label. (thumbs u

I disagree with your disagreement. As soon as I saw the signed slab in the OP, this yellow one immediately came to mind as more aesthetically pleasing.

While this is a copy of AF 15 its still just that.. a copy. The only real verifiable original thing here is the Stan Lee sig.

I got my TMNT #1 signed, sketched, and personalized by Peter on the slab... It's kinda hard to see (cuz TMNT 1 is so dark), but I think it's a cool idea to get the slab signed and not the book... especially if you don't feel like spending a bunch more money just to have someone watch you and then get it put into another piece of plastic...

 

*thumbs up*
