shpider Collector in Training Posts: 4 My Collection	Posted: August 6, 2007 10:20:57 pm Here's one to think about... lets say you have an original uncanny x-men #1 in mint condition... Would the value go up or down with the addition of a signature of Stan Lee on the cover ?

turtle_island Collector in Training Posts: 25 My Collection	Posted: April 11, 2008 11:25:25 pm I think that it would go up in value with the signature. David Finch came to my city last year and I got him to sign all of my Moon Knight, new avengers and varaint covers. If I ever had to part with them I would ask for top dollar. It's not like i could roll up to his house to get him to sign more copies.

turtle_island Collector in Training Posts: 25 My Collection	Posted: April 12, 2008 1:17:08 am I got a pic with he and I together and a program from the convention to confirm that he did attend. I guess i forgot to ask him for some of his blood too...lol! IDK...The CGC signature verification is debatable!
smeggie42 Comic Guru Location: Detriot MI Posts: 602 My Collection	Posted: April 12, 2008 1:32:00 am ok here is a twist what if he signed it with his blood? is that uber signature or just gross? i think a legend like stan lee would have all the hardcore guys going nuts but anyone else would just destroy the book. what do you guys think?
dough boy I have no life moderator lifetime member Location: Kansas City Posts: 12061 My Collection	Posted: April 12, 2008 9:11:53 am For some reason I think I heard of this before...where a signer actually had their blood as part of the ink. I agree that I think it detracts from the value of the comic. Maybe if you had a regular version and a signed version to go along with it that would be ok. If it comes to getting top dollar you could get them "certified" that it was their signature later on by hand writing experts if needed.
