CGC Signature Series: Serial Number Database 0

[D2]

As the obsessed, crazy person that I am, I am frequently lurking around the depths of the web to find out more information on books that I love and collect. 

We all know that CGC keeps a log and record of all serial numbers on the Census, which we can all check to verify whether or not a book is authentic.

Now, I thought, wouldn't it be nice to know which books were signed by whom? How many of a particular book exists? And dare I say, what those signatures actually look like?

Well! I do. So I'm going to start on a fan favourite of mine, and maybe this will go somewhere. Maybe it won't. Who knows! I log:

This is absolutely excellent detective work.  I hope others participate. This could become quite a storehouse of valuable information!!

Thank you! I really hope so too. It's a lot of fun, and I also hope it inspires people to share the hidden books that people wouldn't otherwise see. Hard to tell, but there's only one way to find out.

Curious, did you get these from the Registry? I can't imagine you searched ebay, MCS, CLink, etc for sales pics.

Almost none are from the registry actually. I didn't really search that thoroughly, mainly because a vast majority of books on there are not SS books.

I did a combination of search tools including: Worthpoint, which is critical. I used the Verify CGC tool a lot, when I found a number, because usual submissions are paired with a few similar books. So I found a few stacked numbers. Google, GPAnalysis, Clink, HA, and myslabbedcomics
