  1. Miller and Varley went through a contentious divorce, which ended with them fighting over artwork and with allegations that she hid pieces from Miller in order to sell them. I do not know of any comic that Varley has ever signed for CGC S/S.
  2. I was on the fence about sending in a couple of already-slabbed-and-signed high-grade Jungle Actions for Klaus Janson’s signature. This discussion has made me glad I decided not to send them.
  3. My best guess is that is either a sloppy attempt at an arrival date or a marking put on the book by a retailer for some other inventory system he had.
  4. If this book sold for $566 about 19 months ago, and we are now saying that the buyer could get somewhere between $2K and $10K for it, that certainly underscores Sean’s advice.
  5. That scene in Field of Dreams, where an elderly Moonlight Graham tells Ray that he has to go home or his wife will think he has a girlfriend . . . that was immediately what popped into my mind when I heard this story. What a class act.
  6. Interestingly, CBCS has now discontinued its red label and puts both verified and witnessed signatures in a yellow label (albeit specifying which is which). This is a good business move for them (given the stigma of red labels), but one that probably dilutes the yellow label for both companies. Sophisticated collectors know the difference. Casual collectors may not and may treat the yellow labels of both companies equally, despite the important differences.
  7. I wrote this about six years ago: You may be interested in the discussion.
  8. That’s Miller’s signature, no complaints there. My big complaint, having had a number of books signed in this latest private signing a CGC, is the fact that they did not use enough fresh Sharpies. I mean, with the amount of books he’s signing, and the money that CGC is making, there is no excuse for dying Sharpies. At least make his scrawl look strong. Come on, guys!😡
  9. You made me look. I have 32 books S/S Frank Miller, with 14 more books at CGC awaiting his signature. I clearly have a problem.
  10. I think it is. Typical signature placement back in the day. My untrained eye says the sig itself is legit. Nice!
  11. Pretty sure I saw that one advertised on eBay? In any case, I think it's legit. His signature devolved over the years from fairly legible to hieroglyphics over the years.
  12. I would be shocked if that sig was not legit. Congrats!
  13. I would also add David Mazzucchelli, to round out the golf foursome.
  14. The impossible trio: John Byrne Barry Windsor-Smith Alan Moore
  15. NY Comics has included Terry Austin in their “Masters” tour every fall. I have sent several books to them for his signature over the years. There is no information on their website, however, as to whether they are still doing this.
  16. Sorry . . . it actually took me a couple of days to post the books on eBay. They are all there not, except the ones that have been sold. Let me know if you have any trouble finding them. You shouldn't.
