A 9.8 or a 9.6 SS?? You can only pick one

[Kathryn]

Don't worry, I take good care of her. I stroke her lovingly.

 

She is in good hands, I know that...

Love seeing the pic though, anytime you want to post it in one of my sales threads, please do. Helps traffic

 

Will do (thumbs u

I think the answer depends on the price difference between a 9.6 and a 9.8

and maybe to a lesser extent. Who's sigs are on the 9.6 and how hard are they to obtain.

[RockMyAmadeus]

Or this junky book? I'm thinking about tossing it in the trash.

 

Baoky - I would probably go with the 9.6 SS.

 

 

DREK!

9.8 Universal Baoky

 

Surprised you even asked.

[itssmeeeeee]

9.8s only for my Jim Lees and Tony Daniel Variants.

 

well only 9.8s for what i can afford Gav...

[RockMyAmadeus]

I hate 9.6 SS so much, I sold this one to fingh.

 

[Prince Namor]

I'm no grade queen, so I'd say 9.6 SS.

Get a second sig on it through Chandler and it's got a good shot at coming back a 9.8!

I hate 9.6 SS so much, I sold this one to fingh.

 

 

Wow, that is one sick book.

As a few others have said, it REALLY depends on who the signer is. Even though I'm a big SS guy, I'm generally not too impressed with an SS book if it's only signed by 1 creator who's signature is common. If a creator is easily accessible, I'd like to see something closer to the entire creative team on the book. It's not that I don't appreciate common signatures, it's just that if they're that easy to get, I'd get them myself on a 9.8 and likely add some others.

 

In your case, I'd go for the 9.8 unless the 9.6 was signed by the entire creative team.

9.6 SS is my choice

Here is a good example.IMO better then a blue label 9.8

 

Also my WD #8 IMO is better then a blue label copy, same with my WD# 4 but they have sketches on them--does that count in this discussion or is it sigs only?

 

 

 

thanks again Gary+ Jay + Steve

The 9.8 with almost no exceptions (eg. Sam Keith on a Sandman #1, Alan Moore on a Miracleman #15).

Frank Miller would make that list for me, Frank Frazetta, Stephen King, or cast signed books from a film I like where getting the main parts of the cast together in one place again to get another opportunity were slim to none.

But, would this Walking Dead 9.6 benefit in Signature Series yellow?

Nope. If it was signed it would grade at .5 in Signature Series because it's incomplete. Because it truly is a scarce book, like Batman #608 RRP, Jen would rather keep it in the highest grade possible and unsigned and that's the nature of a hard to find book in high grade.

 

Depending on the scarcity of the signature of a Batman #608 RRP(it would have to be signed by Tom Brady ), a Universal or Signature Series 9.8 would always be always the best bet for this RRP, IMHO.

[dhurley]

What if you got it sketched by say Rathbrun (not witnessed) and submitted it--comes back as a Green Label 9.6?

Hi Jerel

[NewEnglandGothic]

Hi Doug ,

 

I believe the best thing to do with a book in this case is to leave it alone. I'm not even sure, if my Vermont brother Cliff sketches on books anymore even.

[Agent 007]

9.6 SS for myself

[lonetree]

Got this from Emerald City via Chandler - I will now be selling my blue label 9.8:

 

[rjpb]

slabbing most moderns seems rather pointless to me outside of a means of authenticating signatures, so I'd have to go with the SS.

[Lethal_Collector]

If you rule out any financial difference between them, then I would go with the 9.6 SS. Its the obvious choice especially if you get to meet the creators of the comic...but I like to have my cake and eat it too
