Green Lantern 76 - Signed. Is Green label the kiss of death?

[Eclectic-migration]

Hi all, I'm new to the boards so please bear with me. I am having my GL 76 graded by CGC as we speak. It's the nicest copy I've ever been able to find, and due to wonderful storage has almost white pages. I'm hoping to get back an 8.5 or a smidge higher.

 

Problem is this - I had the book signed (on the cover) ten years ago by Denny O'Neil, so I know it will come back with a qualified grade. I know this issue is relatively scarce in higher grades, BUT will the sig be the Kiss of Death as far as resale goes?

 

Opinions?

 

BTW, I have the convention materials for where Denny was signing.

[supapimp]

depends on how anal the collector is, too bad it wasn't signed by neal adams.

I would have no problem about buying a book like that.

Me either.

Hopefully at a small discount.

In some ways, you're likely to get a true collector buying the book, not a speculator.

Personally, I don't like writing of any kind, including signatures. It's a personal threshhold - I don't care if GOD signed the book.

Like I said, most likely, you'll sell it to a true collector, not speculator.

Do you have a scan of it?

I don't like writing , either, altho I think I will make an exception for a "major" signature (Writer or Artist).

Me too!

 

When I finally save up for my G/G+ copy of FF 1 I'd be thrilled if it had Kriby's or Stan's sig!

or GOD?

 

Only if God actually worked on the book. I like signatures (and have a ton of them from years of going to cons), but the signer actually had to work on the book. (So, I wouldn't want Tobey McGuire's autograph on a random issue of Spider-man, for instance...)

Not to get religious on you, but hasn't GOD worked on all of these books?

No, Frank Miller didn't get his start in professional comics until 1978.

how would god sign the book? literally. does god need a pen? or can he just use his finger? i'd think that if he needed a pen, it'd have to be one of the shiney gold (gold, right? not silver. or is that too flashy?) marker-type pens. and then does he just write "god" on the book? "jesus christ" or "jc's pop" or "the big guy" or what?

[divad]

"Da Big Guy Upstairs" of course!

Thanks for all of the feedback guys! I will be posting a scan of it as soon as it gets back from CGC.

He writes, "Eric Clapton."
