coupstair Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I have a question that I would appreciate any, and all, of your collective thoughts on please and thank you: We were lucky enough to have Todd McFarlane and his family stay at one of our homes over this past Christmas holiday. While he was with us, he was kind enough to sign a wide variety of pieces of ours, including early Spawn issues, statues / toys, and a number of pages in his Amazing Spiderman Omnibus [w/ Michelenie] & Art of Todd McFarlane publications. It's these books that I am considering removing the signed pages in order to display them framed. There are at least 60 signed pages in each of these publications. So, strictly considering the value of these publications as is, versus me having these books deconstructed professionally and framed for display, would you suggest: good idea? bad idea? makes no difference idea? cheers.

ADAMANTIUM Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 If it were me I would have hoped that a cover was signed for personal display, signed photo graph, or something labeling the special occasion. If not maybe pick the least monetary piece and have it framed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the blob Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 A credible mcfarlane Sig seems to add $10-30 to a book. I see his son selling signed books and those are getting an extra $80++ but they come with pics of him signing the book and more, so there is little doubt. So in terms of value you are not giving away a lot chopping these up unless there is a tragedy and he dies young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callaway29 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 He stayed at one of your homes over Christmas and signed 120+ things for you? Man, y'all really put him to work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artboy99 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I would do whatever you want with them and if you want to remove pages so that you can frame it and display it then go ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I highly doubt the OP had McFarlane sign 60 pages of a single book with the hopes it would remain together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidermanbeyond Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Quite frankly, it makes no sense to destroy the books by taking the pages out. Just frame a signed comic. But they are your books so you can do whatever you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
