Are signature variants a new thing? 1 1

[Drake Dragoon]

I visited the Clayton Crain personal website and I noticed that he has several of the same signed comic, but each labeled and priced differently, depending on the signature style:

Infinity Signature, Infinity Murder Signature, Classic Murder Signature, etc... it's actually kind of cool! Basically, it's just different pen colors and an artistic flair to the signing.

Is this a new collectible thing?

SS slabs don't yet notate the signature variants, but I wonder how long until collectors start asking for it?

After all, you pay a standard price for a basic Kevin Eastman signature, and you pay extra for the 'head sketch' doodle he puts on his merchandise at signing events. He advertises his head sketch as a bonus to his signature, which should make it 'more collectible', or worth more imo.

LMK what you think about it. Your  below.

Honestly, the first I’ve seen of it. Cool concept, not sure if it will take outside of a small circle of uberfans. BUT, thank you for sharing with the post… I just spent a good 20m drooling over at Crain’s website. Love his work!

It's more of a Crain thing. He's the only one I've seen that does this with signatures. The upcoming CGC signing event with him is placing his various types of signatures into different pricing tiers.

Perez also had multiple ways he would sign books.

I suppose that they're a "new thing", but hopefully not a new trend.

Signature variants...  Makes me glad I don't do signatures at all.

Greg Horn has different priced sigs as well

I think the rarest signature variant is ‘legible’.

They must be expensive. I pay my doctor a lot more than any artist and I don't get one of those.
