theCapraAegagrus Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Can you be more specific? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FJay77 Posted July 27, 2023 Author Share Posted July 27, 2023 Sorry, sure. I was looking at both an ASM 300 grade 5.5 Signature series and an unsigned grade 8.0 Newsstand; and I was just wondering whether people valued the grade or the TM signature, and which people might choose if given the option. I prefer the signed version as I just enjoy collecting, and was wondering what others thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revat Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Probably depends on the price? of course you’re new, but in your initial post you left out price, issue, and who is signing. And maybe your motivations. For future reference those are fairly key factors. Making it easy for folks to help you. The more info you provide up front the better answers you get. probably go blue in this case with the information provided so far KCOComics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fast eddie Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 I'd get the 8 and catch Todd at a show somewhere and get it signed myself,,,,,,,,,, I've got a 9.0 I bought off the stands and had him sign it many years ago,,,,, he was very cool and I made a fun memory!

1950's war comics Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 i would take the signed 5.5 FoggyNelson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCOComics Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Generally speaking, there are more people who collect universal labels than signature series. So I think you'll have a bigger market with universal. Given the grade discrepancy and all things being equal, I would take the 8.0 all day. If both books were the same grade, a Todd signed ASM300 would go for more. I would also consider saving for awhile and trying to score a higher grade copy (if possible). Good luck.
