We need a ruling on this.

I mean, we all know this is probably a 7.5 in reality, but those signatures...the Len Wein looks pretty standard save for the final n in Wein, but I'm definitely not sold on the Atnl Inpee being legit:

Discuss.

Doesn't matter if its PGX its basically an unwitnessed sig eg 'writing on cover'.

[oakman29]

I wouldn't trust anything PGX encapsulates.

[mattn792]

C'mon guys, the label clearly states the book was signed at San Jose and SDCC.  Granted no mention of by whom at those particular events, but hey it was signed!

Did you miss the infamous Steve Ditko/Jack Kirby PGX signature series thread?  That company has zero credibility

Someone please post the old thread link for some good laughs!  Steve Ditko silver sharpie authenticated signature I seem to remember

I have a couple of books signed by Atnl Inpee, but after comparing them to this 9.9 signature book, I'm not so sure the guy doing my signing was legit.

Well Oakman swears by PGX all his slabs were done by them guys (that guy I mean)

[lizards2]

I can attest that I was not present when the books were not signed.

Ah, yes, he was one of Herb Trimpe’s art assistants, now almost completely forgotten.

He worked on Hulk 181, but didn’t actually have anything to do with Wolverine, only being trusted enough to add a small amount of detail to the Wendigo figures in the comic.

As we all know, it’s Wolverine who adds value to this book, and so Atnl Inpee’s contribution is negligible and the addition of his signature to the cover somewhat pointless.

so true-- all of the Wendigo fans/collectors know that the best book to own is IH 180

[mattn792]

Poor Atnl...he coulda been a contender!

PGX = POORLY GRADED EXAMPLE 

[kav]

PGX 9.8:

[grayzr]

Assuming that book is around 9.4-9.8 range, why on Earth would you get the book signed without getting it Witnessed.
