seanfingh Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Boston as well. It will be interesting to see what his signing policies will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivdyer Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I have inquired and I am being told that it is uncertain at this time if he will sign for CGC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanfingh Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I hope he does. There is probably more pent up demand for him than anyone. The X-Men, Avengers, Charlton, MTU books from the 70's would just be incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DjMartini Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I have also heard that CGC probably will not happen, per his request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roach04 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I actually don't care if he allows CGC or not - be awesome to meet the legend in person. I do hope that he'll sign Marvel, DC, Dark Horse work. And if he does, that it's a big limit (like 20 books! LOL). If it's 2-3 books (the more likely scenario) this will be the toughest selection of books in my con history. I've got 500+ comics that have some kind of Byrne work in them. Trying to limit to 2-3 will be nearly impossible. I am stoked for this - Byrne is literally that last of my "legends" that I've never met. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost met Byrne at a local Great White North comicon in Dec, 1980 but he was signing Sat. and Sun. afternoons while I only attended the con Friday after work and Sat. morning. Wonder if Byrne will be charging Liefeld sig rates of $80 to sign a key comic (e.g. X-men 108) or $40 for a non or small key (Wheelie & Chopper Bunch 1 or Namor #1).

roach04 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I don't know Byrne's policies at all - but wouldn't surprise me if he's one of those guys that does something like "first 3 are free, then $X thereafter" in a general line. But I guess we'll see. Full transparency - I'll pay whatever he asks for. And given that it sounds like it'll be a Byrne/Shatner combo, I can't see Byrne charging more than Bill Shatner does!

RockMyAmadeus Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I got to meet him finally at NYCC last year with IDW. It was....it was. The odds against him doing SS are 107,298,113 to 1, but...you know...hope springs eternal. Can you IMAGINE...? Thoughts of 9.8 double signed X-Men #108-143 make me cry.

As far as I know he has never charged for signatures at a convention. His old policy when going to conventions with more regularity was 15 per family per day.

I've got respect for Austin, but he doesn't make me tingle like Byrne and Claremont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 If you give him a comic with a reprint of his work to sign (such as I did with my Magneto 0 back in the mid 1990s) you will get a reprint signature in the form of a stamp he has. He is quick and enjoys this, so be prepared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Namor Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 If you’ve never been to Byrne’s site, it’s a hoot. http://www.byrnerobotics.com/ --------------------------- A sticky post about conventions: I Don't Do 'Em. Sorry. NO EXCEPTIONS. PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT JIM WARDEN ABOUT PERSONAL APPEARANCES OR INTERVIEWS. Jim is my art dealer, NOT my agent. And while we're at it, PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT FRIENDS IN THE BIZ ABOUT ME MAKING PERSONAL APPEARANCES OR GIVING INTERVIEWS. Howard Mackie, Roger Stern, etc, etc are not my agents, either. -------------------------- BUT - someone created a thread about it there, announcing it, and Byrne has responded, without denying it so…. It's looking like it WILL happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan510 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Byrne announced on his forum he's only signing Star Trek books unless he has enough downtime to set up on his own. He also said the limit is 10 books per family per day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
