I wonder what they're selling it on...because honestly that could wind up in the Smithsonian in 50 years.

I wonder how many comics are in the Smithsonian?

I have a copy of this book but only signed by Stan.  It's a great cover to get signatures for.

I would say yes, this is still a comic book, but it's also a significant piece of history...  

And a big-time round of applause for the grader at CGC that had to correctly enter all those names on the label...  

And the dates to go with them! A couple of more sigs they'll have to either shrink the font to the point where it's not legible or use the back of the label

So this is a case of "my sig is bigger than yours?"

It appears that's what they did here...

The back of the label is already being used.

Yeah my bad...was using the mobile site & didn't see the "over" on the label. Stand corrected 

Wonder how they would have squeezed all that info on there using the old label that had the legal disclaimer all over the back?

That 6 issue Kraven the Hunter story was pretty epic

The old label had very limited areas for the art comments and key comments. That's one of the reasons why you see so many old label books with very little information. And as I recall, nothing else could be entered. When the newer labels came out, they expanded those fields immensely. It's part of the "evolution" of CGC...

Yes.

Impressive. I like the beautiful chaos of the thing.

Yup.  It's not quite Jackson Pollock drip painting, but, for a signature cover equivalent, close enough.
