His pricing has changed over the past 2 years. Here is the pricing from his 1st two "tours" in 2020, this does not include any CGC fees. Here is the current tour pricing, also not including CGC fees. He also has a new Crain label as well to coincide with this new tour. The closest shop to me charges $65 per book, includes fast track, and an additional $25 in shipping for the 1st book and $5 each additional. So he is likely getting anywhere from $40-$60 per sig and the remarque I would guess much more, $200-$250? All just guestimates.

Of the dozens of creators they could do an inhouse signing with, they chose this guy, But he has kool books, bro. And I’m thankful they’re doing a signing with him since I have couple books I want him to sign. I still don’t see the problem with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revat Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 I love it. I'm sure most of us don't NEED to get extra fries or an even larger coke with our meal, that money could go to feeding the homeless or new socks or whatever. But I ain't mad at McDonalds for trying to upsell me and I'm not mad at anyone getting an extra milkshake in addition to their super-size big mac meal. Its their money, their business, everyone is acting legally, ethically, and letting the market work it out. I got no complaints about this.

Fing fanboys I have it on a print and it is absolutely stunning. I didn't pay $175 though. Call me a fanboy though, cause if I had a book I wanted him to sign, I would gladly pay the $175 if it fit the book. Love what you love.

Is that what this is? Other peoples' money makes you insecure? And here I thought you were just making up a reason to be mad at CGC.

That way you can deface the book, but no one can tell. I laughed at this.....and then I got to wondering if this was actually such a horrible idea. Has an artist ever done a signature in ink that's only visible under a black (UV) light? The artist could offer it in his "signing menu" and CGC could verify the signature is there.....but it wouldn't be visible (defacing the book) under normal lighting conditions. Horrible idea.........or pure genius that I will split the proceeds on with Chris (90/10 in my favor)?

ADAMANTIUM Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 (edited) If I remember correctly... Crain did some cool sigs as a one time gig... And people were missing out, and there was demand. So if he's going to take that much time at a con.to.do fancy sigs and hold up the lines etc. People will pay money for it? As an excuse for why the line takes so long ? That's my understanding but where is the fun in that. Edited April 7, 2022 by ADAMANTIUM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can barely watch the product they've been putting out since I moved from NY. I think it may be time for new ownership. The younger Mara's and Tisch's are not upholding their families stewardship. Few third generation franchises have worked out well. Edited April 6, 2022 by shadroch NP_Gresham 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
