TomG Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 (edited) Curious everyone's thoughts as to the rarest CGC celebrity sigs that exist. Who would you consider to be in the top group and any thoughts on estimated number of certified examples? George Lucas, Robert Downey Jr. etc. Edited July 22, 2017 by TomG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mschmidt Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 There are a ton of celebrities that have only signed a couple of books for SS - it makes them rare, doesn't necessarily make them desirable. I'm fairly certain that some of my Stargate Atlantis CGC SS books are the only copies that have the signatures of those particular celebrities, but it doesn't really mean anything to anyone outside of me (and my wife). Anyway, for rarity & desirability, I'd say George Lucas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have over paid for ss books that were rare at the time. even been told the " yeah this actor or director said they will never be at a con again " line. only to see that they then start making regular con appearances and their ss books selling for a fraction of what I paid trying to be first to have one. I know there are acceptations but like I say most times the supply brings the price way down. PhantomEwan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_highgrade Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I personally met Hugh Jackman on three different occasions around 8 years ago. He autographed two X-men Comics and one Old Man Logan Giant size #1. I also helped Danny Hernandez obtain a Hugh Jackman autograph on a Marvel Comics Presents which already had a Barry Windsor Smith autograph. I know that there are a few more out there.

SignatureSelect Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Charlize Theron Only 1 to my knowledge, Wes Craven less than 10 to my knowledge, Roger Moore I have only seen 4 or 5, Robert Crumb 10 maybe 15 SS books exist, Harvey Pekar only 2.

bigcbass Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Honestly there is really no way to know for certain because CGC doesn't track that (though in my opinion they should, it seems like it would be an easy thing to track). And I agree with littlebill, there are a lot of rare ones out there that aren't necessarily super valuable. Case in point, this book I had done earlier this year, there are probably not many Wilford Brimley books in the registry but no one has been knocking down my door with thousand dollar offers.

I'd like to see a Jeremy Irons "Alfred" cover....or Michael Cain for that matter.....hmmmmmm There was a recent Amy Adams CGC book on eBay but CGC Green labeled it as they couldn't verify her sig even though there was a witness present....

I am sure all those books would sell very easily because they are all super rare. You always have a way of showing you are truly one of the best SS collectors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
