Kevlar568 Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Hello all, I have two CGC signature series Batman books signed by David Mazzucchelli - Batman #405 9.4 and Batman #406 9.2, both signed in 2007. I bought these at a collectibles/pawn store several years ago, and in my research I haven’t been able to find any other Mazzucchelli signed CGC books. It seems that he only did a few signings with CGC in the mid-2000’s. I have a chance this summer to potentially add Frank Miller’s signature to these books - I have gotten Miller to sign some of my daredevil books in the past. Do you guys think I should attempt to add Miller‘s signature to these? Or leave them as is? Will Mazzucchelli ever do another CGC signing? Does anyone else on the boards have Mazzucchelli signature series books? Anyways, Cheers 🤟 naits and The Element Man 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revat Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Depends on your collection goals, motives and your financial preferences and your risk aversion, all very subjective. But with you knowing nothing about me, and you knowing nothing about me, I’m comfortable saying you should get them signed by Frank Miller.

CardiacKid1 Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 I bought this one with just Mazzucchelli’s signature and added Miller’s to it. 😁 naits and The Element Man 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardiacKid1 Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 I did the same thing with this one, although I sold it to another boardie 3-4 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardiacKid1 Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 To answer your question about the prospects of getting another CGC-certified signature from Mazz, it ain’t looking good. A few years ago, he was announced as a speaker at an event, and it became known that he would sign some comics. But his hard-and-fast rule was that none of them could be submitted to CGC. Rich Henn attended and got a bunch of comics signed, but none of them were certified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardiacKid1 Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 And I almost forgot about this one. Bought it with Mazzucchelli’s signature certified on page 1, then added Miller’s sig to it. GACollectibles and The Element Man 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D2 Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 So to answer your question, if it was me, I would get them signed by Frank Miller as well, but that's just my personal opinion. Unfortunately, even though these are rare, because they are not 9.8 copies, they would not sell for the true value that they are worth. Everyone has a personal financial benchmark which they would be willing to risk in order to achieve a quality and level of valuable collectible. I think in this instance, personally, you only have room to gain with adding Frank Miller's signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at that event with Rich and got this signed. I then had him send it to a CGC Miller signing event. This is what I got back. My question would be if CGC would "recertify" the original autograph considering it was before Mazzucchelli stopped allowing it. OR would you get a green Qualified stripe as I did.

Oh I assumed it was yellow first, then got qualified after miller also signed. i might have mixed up the original question and your situation.

Aahhh. Yeah, mine were both signed in 2020 within a few months of each other. I do wonder what would happen with the OP's books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
