Please put me on speed dial if you ever want to sell this (or trade down for my 8.0).

Mine is not for sale but if you want to upgrade yours to 9.0 don't miss this one in next Comiclink's auction:

OK, I'm just going to say it because it makes me so mad.  Some people will violently disagree with me, others may feel like I do.

But as far as I'm concerned ... whoever did this completely ruined a beautiful book.  What a shame.

Have to agree with you on this one Sweet Lou.  Way too much writing on the cover is distracting my eyes, and the ink smudging from this pen looks extremely bad.  I don't mind a small, well placed and clear signature, but these hand written messages from Stan on the cover don't do it for me :eek:

I totally agree with you and @Sweet Lou 14...a beautiful, high-grade copy of this book ruined by all that text over the logo.

I have to agree and for the record, I have a LOT of Signature Series books (none of which that I PERSONALLY had signed, I bought them all that way). It breaks my heart when I see a very high grade VINTAGE comic signed. There are plenty of mid grade and below copies out there that are just a much better choice for a signature, in my opinion. There aren't enough unrestored 9.0 Spidey #1s to go around as it is.

The August CLINK Stan Lee signature keys are somewhat of a mess.  I was excited to see an FF #1 as part of the offerings, but then I saw the front cover (below).  Now I won't bid at all.

And I DO, happily, own a Stan signature in my collection.  But it's classy and fun, not distracting.  Also, I don't love how these labels make it seem a little like Stan's giving the audience the finger.  (Does anyone else see that?)

Ugh.

I wouldn't buy that book.  I have no real interest in autographed books in general, but would want much more subtle ones if I was going to buy one.  I understand what they were going for with the custom label but don't care for that either.  Just a personal preference in both cases.

113 took a looong time to upgrade to a "9" on front, so had to take the sig...   the 110 was simply a good deal, and i figured one day stan's sig on that key might be worth sumpin' extra.

Took me a moment to realize they're trying to make it look like he's got web shooters.  I'm guessing the same consignor put both of these books up.  Like you said, a mess.

You've hit the nail on the head for me.  I would love to buy an ASM #1 in 9.0, and when I saw one come up I got excited.  Then I saw this travesty and it really ticked me off.  Go do this to a 3.0, don't ruin a gorgeous 9.0.

This book is just ridiculously ugly, if it was me writing that much on a cover, it would drop to a 4.0 but if it's Stan then it's all beauty :facepalm:; Stan sneezing on a book, it would also increase value

Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of respect for Stan Lee but for me, ink on cover is ink on cover, whoever puts it does not matter.

How funny that a tiny dot of color touch-up i.e. a tiny hint of ink visible with a magnifying loop would significantly drops the value of the book while such mess is supposed to increase its value?!!? :screwy:

I will take my 6.5 over that ugly 9.0 anytime :sumo:
