 If you only knew. I'm just being objective here, deflecting your lies.

Tell 'em Jerkfro! 

Please highlight these non-existent "lies". They don't exist.

Go back to the PGX boards!

Remember in Infinity War, when Bucky, Cap, T'Challa, and Banner are all being overwhelmed by the Outriders, and then the Bifrost booms, Strombreaker turns the tides, Silvestri's Avengers theme brings your goosebumps to their weakest knees, and Thor's appearance is one of the most glorious entrances in cinematic history?

@MyCameo posting in a topic is literally the exact opposite reaction.

"Just wondering how prolific he was in signing books".

You're either on topic or off.  And now there's a whole lot of offs.

I hope you don't gamble a lot. You're not good at it.

Bad gamblers can still be useful.

@MyCameo -- Ulka Sasaki or Anderson dos Santos, both heavy underdogs.  Who is more likely to win on Saturday?

Jack signed a lot of comics, although probably orders of magnitude fewer than Stan.  He was a frequent attendee at New York Comic Con when living in NYC and San Diego Comic Con when he moved to SoCal.  And back in the day, the creators signed books for fans for free.  Here's one I had signed at a Phil Seuling show:

Mr. Kirby passed away years before the advent of CGC, if you're thinking about "officially" designated signatured CGC slabs, so those are nonexistent.  There are, however, other signature authentication services in the comics encapsulation industry.

 

This is how I like comic books to be signed. Quietly, with no parade, exhibiting some kind of cool dignity.

Probably a good incentive to actually open up all your books. I have found a few of these first page signatures over the years. Roy Thomas, Chris Claremont (I know he signs there because he did that with me on some Power Man books), etc. Obviously all unverifiable, but kind of neat. That I found them in 50 cent and dollar boxes probably means they are real and someone who got the sig just forgot it was there. Remember, these guys never used to charge. You could go to a show and have John Romita sign 40 books for you. Just be really nice about it. Really makes me wish I had gotten more sigs of these guys when it was easy. Herb Trimpe used to go to plenty of shows. Steranko. I certainly had plenty of otherwise worthless Trimpe books. His sig, even unverified, couldn't have hurt. Plus most of these guys were/are pretty pleasant and its fun to chat. John Romita Senior was super nice. Chris Claremont acted like he had not seen one of his Power Man books for a million years and started reading the corny dialogue to Neil Gaiman, who was sitting next to him signing (Gaiman's line was 300 people long, Claremont's was about 5 people)

Maybe, but you can't make up stories about this for CGC. It's fairly common knowledge that CBCS has questionable "authentication" practices. CGC has been air-tight for 18 years now.

All I can say is that it always hasn't been air-tight for every day of that 18 years. I've heard some stories. Obviously, I can't prove anything but what I've heard has come from signature series veterans who have been having comics signed for many of those 18 years.

It's all an illusion  . . . air-tight, schmair-tight.

+1. There are folks who've never read a comic book. I guess the $$ signs are hard to see past for some.

My post is just above yours, where I wrote:

I mistakenly thought that since it was right there in a one page thread, you might have read it before posting.

Darn I missed it.

I guess you didn't read my post above, either.  It's only a one page thread, people.

I've noticed this is a problem lately Bob in certain corners of the forum.

You really can't take a hint. Blocked and reported (again).

Cracking them open can expose. Interesting nuggets. I quite randomly opened a marvel team up to read (because I am old and like self contained stories) only to see it had a short back up story drawn by ditko, something not mentioned on the cover.

I got the Jack Kirby note on the slab hehe!!  The one on the bottom, 5.5 FF13... not bad with a subscription crease...

I'm not a sig guy (either SS or verified by someone) but Jack Kirby's signature is just beautiful. The ones I've seen have all looked very consistent, too.
