Not at all.  Today hasn't been my day to be honest, minor things are irritating me and for some reason I've decided to be more vocal about them.  Over the top sketches and poorly placed signatures have always bothered me, but when it's on a more iconic book, it agitates me even more.  I'm not an artist, even though I do sketch an occasional subpar piece of art from time to time, but I question if at some point an artist should be concerned if these things will harm a book aesthetically and consider refusing an owner's request.  If anyone knows of a comic artist that would refuse these types of requests please let me know because I'd probably become a big fan of theirs.  

I am curious as to why the owners of these items should care about whether or not it irritates you and why you are irritated with how other people spend their money?

Why are you getting irritated over something that you are not planning to buy or own then?

Do you have any limits on signatures?

For me, it's kind of a sliding scale for me. This one not so much since there's 30 high grade 9.8 copies and numerous others in various other grades.

However, I know I'd be irritated if someone got a signature on the high grade Mile High Action 1.... or numerous other high end pedigree books. (LIke some collectors have done)

I would also be very irritated if someone damaged the Mona Lisa, tour out pages of a Birds of America book or wrote "Mine" on a high grade Honus Wagner card.

Doubt I would own any of those, but it also,

A. Sets a poor standard going forward as you are likely only going to own the book for 20 years tops.

B. Set a bad trend that might effect something you want to buy.

C. I just don't like to see rare artifacts defaced.

DaVinci signed the Mona Lisa.

There is a difference between signing and damage.  

Is Action Comics 1 an artifact more than a comic book?  Possibly.  To be honest, Action Comics 1 might be the only comic I consider an "artifact".  

But as distasteful as it is to some around here to see someone say it.  The sun will still rise tomorrow.   I would say, 'that's a shame' and then think about the rest of my day.

The owner is happy and seems like he wanted this. Who are you or anybody here to complain? it isn't yours. This is an embarrassing and ridiculous thread. Worry about your own books and grow up.

Let's say someone bought the mona lisa and had graffiti artist go over it.  Still ok cause it's his and thats what he wants?

Yes. If you own something, it is okay for you to do whatever you want with your possession.

Lets say someone owned the cure for cancer.  Still ok to destroy?

DaVinci signed the Mona Lisa? I mean there are theories inside the eyes. But certainly not across the artwork.

Ok you think there is no limits no matter how rare unique or historical?  Not even a little upset?

So what about the next guy? Unique artifacts also?

I mean what if someone bought and demolished the great pyramid because it was more beautiful to them that way?

Kang already did it to the Sphinx… and I haven’t really heard any complaints on that one.

I do not.  If the original creator is signing it then so be it.

I said so much the other day actually. 

If Siegel and Schuster were alive today and there was only one copy of Action Comics 1 in existence and the owner wanted them to sign it.  So be it.

 

EDIT:

I also had no problem with Stan Lee signing any book featuring a character he created regardless of whether or not he worked on the book.  The uproar is kind of a big shrug for me and I am not even a guy that goes around and collects signatures to any large degree.

Just wait.... 

I have still been trying to get a TMNT #1 first print signed by Vanilla Ice. Maybe have him do a sketch or at least write something like ," Go Ninja, Go Ninja, Go!" On it ...
