Signature INSIDE a book 0

[Bperilous]

Can anyone tell me how this would affect grade?  Could I just get a blue label or would this automatically be green?

Blue label with the notation John Byrne written in marker on the first page.

if there's bleed through it could affect the grade.  If it's otherwise a 10.0 it might affect the grade.

Universal label.

Thanks all.  Anybody have experience with selling a graded book like this?  Do you think this would suppress the price somewhat?

I do not think that the signature will forcibly put an end to the book's value.

[comicdonna]

It might increase the value.

If anything, it should enhance the desirability...

How about this one?  Thor 173.

It would not.

I've always imagined my ASM 97 with Gil Kane's signature in the same location would potentially fetch more than a regular copy (it is likely a 6.0-6.5 book). But maybe not...I like seeing the signature which is why I am unlikely to ever grade it until I am old and potentially selling my collection off, if that is required.

+1. I see it as a non-issue. An internal Byrne autograph will neither increase nor decrease the value. However, chances favor an autograph collector will pass on a Byrne splash page signature and instead opt for a cover signed book, more specifically, a CGC signature series, so in cases like that, if the value of the splash page signed book is high, in and of itself, a rather inexpensive auto like Byrne's will actually hurt desirability thus impede the sale.

Love the date stamp...

Yeah, I don't know if that was Joe, where he bought it or maybe the LCS I bought it from, but it's pretty comprehensive.  I have a few Avengers books with a similar "Jan 1974" date stamp on the top of the splash page.

Atypical! Looks like a Joe Lee Lewis Jr. forgery to me. Prior to 1975 Joe wrote quotes around "Lee". A carelessly amateurish anachronism.
