- Got this back last week. This is the first comic that I have ever gotten graded. First and probably the only time that I will ever meet or see Stan Lee at a comic con. Was hoping for a 9.8, but given that:
1. I bought it at my LCS when it came out in 1988
2. It was my reading copy (bought doubles, other copy is in better shape)
3. Travelled 1800 miles with it in my carry on to the convention
4. Waited 2hrs in line for Stan Lee to sign it, and watched his assistant, man-handle it before giving it to Stan Lee
5. Waited another hr in line for Todd McFarlane to sign it, and watched his assistant, man-handle it before giving it to Todd to sign
6. Gave it to the facilitator who witnessed the signings for the CGC Signature Series Label, to submit it for me
......it came back with a 9.6 grade. After everything that my comic went through to get signed and graded, I'm happy with the 9.6.

- Congats, Vengeance! That's a lot to go through but I'm sure it will pay off in the end!! Probably a dumb question but I haven't been to a con in many a year. Did you have to pay much for the autographs?

Stan Lee charged $100/autograph. Sort of disappointed that his autograph now, look so sloppy compared to his younger ones. But at least I got to see him and shake his hand.

- That's a lot of work for one comic book! Do the signatures really increase the value or is it a personal victory sort of thing? I imagine you will never sell it, so the overall value isn't too important to you. My first CGC comic book was Daredevil #158 @8.5. I paid around $40 for it, then another $25+ to CGC it. At the time (about ten years ago) the book was only worth about $80.
I want to hear some more first CGC stories from the masses!

Nice. I bought 2 copies as well back in the day. I love Todds signature, but I don't give Stan the theif the time of day. I wouldn't buy any comic that is signed by Stan
