Pat Calhoun Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Totally agree, Billy. Big Joe knocked this one way out of the park, and Blue Beetle was Fox's superstar- a supreme classic and nice copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthshaker01 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Cheetah. I understand your point about the SS by CGC, when I called them to ask the process they told me one of their people needed to be at the signing and that would be the only way this would qualify for their SS slabs. Alan Young is not doing conventions or public appearances anymore so unless I was to foot the bill and get a CGC person flown out here I just don't see how it can be done. Alan Young will be taking a photo with the comic while signing them for me, other than that I m not sure anymore can be done. Its a tough call but I don't see how having him sign them would hurt the value, even if it doesn't increase it by a whole lot. Not sure what to do at this point. So you think he should sign the inside on the first page or the cover underneath Mr. Ed's head maybe? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timely Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 A cool Shomberg cover; one of his best! Nice one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthshaker01 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Cheetah, When I caled CGC about that they said one of their employees would have to be at the signing. That is nearly impossible because due to Alan Youngs age he is not doing public appearences or conventions anymore. So unless I was to fly someone from CGC out here to be there at my cost I just don't see how I could get it done to make it a SS through CGC. Not sure what to do. Do you really think by him signing the cover it would decrease the value? Maybe I should just pass on the whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem excited about getting the signature so go for it. Front cover, inside, whatever will make you happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
october Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 A cool Shomberg cover; one of his best! I used to own that copy! You are the fourth or fifth guy from the boards to have it. I would have kept it, really nice copy, but I traded it and some cash for my Hulk 1. Funny how stuff makes the rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had some ECs signed a few years ago that could have been sig series but there was no point but whats the chances of you having the opportunity for those sigs again? These guys arent getting any younger, get the sig CGC or no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sardo Numspar Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I am really thrilled with this pickup. I have never before seen one for sale or had the opportunity to acquire. 1939 super hero book; single highest graded; first African-American superhero in comics, the Red Mask; Overstreet notes book as scarce; and Better/Standard/Nedor's very first true comic book.
