Jeffro. Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 By the way, it sucks that we can't change thread titles anymore. Really kills the shenanigan levels on the boards. mysterio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So does McFarlane, Steranko, Zeck and many others who have fantastic signatures. Or even mediocre signatures like Adams, Capullo or Campbell. Hell, even Stan Lee has a better signature!

Or even mediocre signatures like Adams, Capullo or Campbell. Hell, even Stan Lee has a better signature! Some guys have two different signatures, their everyday sig and their "artistic" sig. Perez does, so does Sam Kieth. I remember buying a piece of art direct from Barry Windsor-Smith and he asked if I wanted it signed and I asked for both...his full signature and his "BWS" artistic sig.

But both Perez' signatures are at least not just scribbles. Same with JRJR. But a POS signature on a FAN'S collectible says "I don't give a ratsass about your crrappy book so here's a scribble on it. You're welcome, now don't forget to pay me - NEXT!". Edited May 19, 2017 by jcjames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Aldred Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 (edited) Walter Simonson's dinosaur signature is recognised as one of the best, and most inventive. Edited May 19, 2017 by Ken Aldred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastballspecial Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 (edited) Add Phil Jimenez to the growing list.

ADAMANTIUM Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 (edited) I wonder what would happen, if anyone asked them to sign a CGC slab already graded CGC 9.8? What's the complaint about wanting a book in great condition? only flippers? Sounds like a stretch....like only flippers tape their books for signing?

The Brain Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Having to be precise. Taking the time to make a readable signature. The extra effort to not man handle the book. But the critical factor here is, time is money, their money!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a stretch....like only flippers tape their books for signing? I think that's what irritates me the most. It could also be someone at the opposite end of the spectrum, like me, who's simply very OCD ; protecting a high grade, perhaps expensive book which I care a lot about from damage, and presenting it to a creator whose work I admire. That level of consideration could, in other circumstances, be interpreted by them as respect rather than greed. It's a shame that purist collectors now get tarred with the same brush.

Bird Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 well now, Phil & I seem to be having a respectful dialogue. But he did mention resale so that seems to be the issue. Lucky Baru 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel for OCD collectors as I have met quite a few, but its looking more and more like they will suffer from this. I feel for those collectors. The other part of SS hobby in line with dozens of books have created this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
