Why get stand to sign it twice?

 

Maybe the first was not witnessed by CGC

 

It's mentioned on the label twice

signed by Stan Lee on 7/24/2011 and then signed and sketched by Stan Lee 8/21/2011

 

 

all though I would have put signed and sneezed on by Stan Lee

the book is from a live ebay auction. below is the description of the book and what happened from the auction.

 

 

 

 

 

" This is a personal comic of mine that I brought to Comic Con San Diego 2011 to get signed by Stan Lee then graded afterwards. During the signing Stan Lee changed his mind and scribbled out his signature that he had already started. Then he signed in a different spot!!!!! The people hosting Stan Lee signatures had him do a cover art 2 months Later in Baltimore Comic Con to make up for the mistake. Well during the cover art Stan Lee signed it again!!!!! They decided to get John Romita to sign it as well for the inconvenience. I just got my comic in the mail from CGC on 12/17. It took 5 months! But I feel that this comic is now one of a kind with (2) Stan Lee signatures, (1) Stan Lee cover art, and (1) John Romita Signature and ONE AMAZING STORY!!! Hopefully someone will appreciate this spectacular and one of a kind comic as much as I do. But I have to part due to financial reasons."

Ok, color me stupid - but how does Stan Lee end up doing a sketch on a book (I also saw the horrible spider/roach SS book, too). Does someone request it? Or does he offer to do a sketch for an added fee?

Stop Getting Stan To Sketch

 

Oh, I disagree. If someone wants a writer do a sketch on their book, let them continue on with it. It will only raise the value of my #129 because it becomes infinitely more sellable than the atrocity I am looking at in this thread.

This one, for sure, was as a result of Stan scribbling out a name that he started. He has done that a number of times, and it is always a tragedy. So to make the scribble out not a defect, they requested that he "convert it into a "sketch." It is possible that the roach started out the same way. It certainly ended the same way - in a bad place.

I can't even remotely imagine the horror I would feel if I sent in a book and it came back looking like that.

i've been saying this for a while now, but stan lee CGC SS books will soon have no demand the way he is flooding his own market.

 

The demand is tremendous. Especially on vintage material. Maybe the moderns are too plentiful, but the market for vintage is just fine.

There are definitely a ton of them out there. But the demand for Stan is greater than any other creator, and probably greater than any 5 other creators combined. People that hate SS want a Stan book. People that hate signed comics, period, want a book signed by Stan. I have no real opinion as to the modern books that he didn't work on and their staying power, but the vintage stuff is still doing great.

I'm a good example of the point you are making.

 

I have only one CGC SS book and it's a Stan Lee auto. That's the only SS book I've considered owning. I don't dislike signed books, but I feel a Stan Lee auto was/is a must have for my or any comic collection.
