Signed Limited Edition Hard Covers: Collectble Yes or no

[Ares]

I bought the autographed Marvels hardcover years ago because I absolutely loved the story. Excelent art excelent story and I loved the ending.

 

My question to you is would you buy signed harcovers collections as a collectible?

 

[Mushroom]

I would. That is a great cover.

Personally I am not a fan of Signatures unless I have had the book signed by the creator myself.

I see a signature as a momento of having met a favourite/respected creator rather than something that adds value to a book.

i own a DK returns S/N limited hardcover along with 2 regular hardcovers, a 1st print trade paperback, and a S/N john romita sketchbook......does that answer your question?

[aardvark88]

Just buy a general history of Marvel or DC hardcover book & walk around the big comicon getting autographs. Most fun I've had in a long time when u don't want your raw, hi-grade keys bent by the signer.

[Ares]

I dont get a chance to go to the big ones.

Toronto Comicons dont get enough big names at the same time.

Hey Ares....the amount of ===== stretches the boards...is there any way that you could reduce the amount of ==== you use....

[Ares]

Really?

OK. I didnt realize it. When I look at my posts the === dont even reach the end of my sig line.

I have Artist's Proof editions of Elektra Assassin, Dark Knight Returns and From Hell, so yeah, I would fall into the collector category!!

Anyone you are really interested in seeing in Toronto?

 

After this weekend's show wraps up we will be putting together a guest list for our next show- the big November show (not to be confused with the Canadian Expo in August).

 

Chances are that we aren't getting Stan Lee but you never know who might be interested. We've already received some interest from guys who aren't normally asked to come up.

 

Come by and say hello if you come to the show on Sunday. Same goes for any other CGC forum members who plan on dropping by. I got a chance to meet Hogations and CGC Mint at the last one.

It just seems that US shows are huge extravaganzas while Toronto shows are mild.

 

BTW I didnt know there was a Toronto show this weekend.

 

Can ya give me some details?

Someone must think those hardcovers are worthwhile.

 

Got Chucks newest newsletter in my e-mail today and clicked to see what "bargains" he had in the $50+ list and there was a HC Havok/Wolverine for $250

 

I thought only the DK Returns signed and maybe the Kingdon Come signed went for that kind of money. I don't even think the high number Marvel Masterworks bring that anymore.

Try to get Steve Skroce who drew ASM, Gambit & Matrix storyboards. Lives in the Vancouver area. Should be popular guest with release of Matrix 2 & 3 movies both in 2003. U may be able to get a message to him via a website search Heritage Hall comicon Vancouver, BC.

[Kevin Boyd]

Absolutely!

I'd love to bring Steve out. I'll try to get in touch with him. I hear he's shopping around a new project for release around the time of the next show.

 

Thanks!

I bought one of the Havok/Wolverine Meltdown limited edition hardcovers for $25 (canadian) at a sale last fall.
