I haven’t seen a lot of Steve Ditko signatures around for sale. This one has come up on Instagram asking value is $2,200 I know the owner and seems genuine to me. i haven’t seen many Ditko letters related to a comic directly with the book (which isn’t a rare book in itself but has a cool side panel which vaguely relates to spiderman which looks cool) 1) How would I determine the value for this as I will likely buy to authenticate then resell. 2) Who would authenticate this piece? Any help is much appreciated If you know the owner and want the piece, then agree on a price and a payment schedule...

What are you talking about? I never asked him to autograph jack and he was always crabby. I’ve got an entire full page letter by him with him just criticizing how I signed my name. djzombi, PeterPark, KirbyJack and 3 others 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see paying a hefty ransom to get a letter back. When it comes to other people's letters, they are enjoyable to read to get inside the mind of the Legend.

01TheDude Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 my guess is that the OP is the one actually selling this with the grift of acting like they are the ones interested. Wouldn't be anything new to dangle it like this gunsmokin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
