I have never seen any kind of release #s on them. From the amount of stamped copies I have seen, it has to be a LARGE number. I bought some signed issues not even advertised as being stamped and when they came in, they had the stamp on the back. As Jugger said above, the stamp would be relatively easy to duplicate and unless McFarlane mixed his blood in the ink, like Kiss did for their comic, you would never know what you have. I view all signed copies the same, stamped or not. I care more about the auto being legit than having the stamp.

Lethal Collector: Love the framed print! I have 2 of the original 1990 posters still rolled in factory plastic. I want to get one of them framed similar to what you've done. Hoping stars align in the future so I can have it signed first.

I do know of, and own, a few of these. I don't show them on the list, mainly because there are a ton of fakes of those floating around. Same reason I have the disclaimer about the gold covers bagged. I don't want to send people out dropping somewhat substantial money on things that are tough to validate. On top of that, there are a 10s of 1000s of the originals signed by him (with and w/out the stamp). It maybe something that I put a note up about in the future but you are the first to ask about it (this list started on another site over a year ago). Thanks for bringing it up....it's good to have it mentioned in the thread!

Just added foreign prints to the list! Special thanks to Liam Sturgess (Liaton-9000) for putting them together for me and all others interested!!!

I actually agree! It may seem counterproductive to what it appears I collect, but when I started really trying to nail the swipes/homages down, I knew of about 6 and was expecting maybe 3-4 more I didn't know about. Boy was I wrong but I over invested my effort and am now kinda stuck in it....I am in too deep....haha. Now that the heavy lifting is over though, as stated above, I am glad I did it. I love the cover, always will, and it will always have a big tie to my childhood. I consider it like a bad tattoo that I love but isn't the best.....still glad I did it, but not always in a hurry to show it off.

As stated above, that's your opinion and you are more than welcome to have and share it. That does not make it fact. Nobody is right! There are people that see beauty in cigarette butts, Fords, and Kim Kardashian.....it's in the eye of the beholder! This comic came out when I was 11 and working in my father's sports card/comic store. This cover is the very first thing in life I saved all my money so I could get every cover. Sometimes the beauty is deeper my friend!

Fixed....thanks!!!

This is everything I know of as of now....if you know of anything else, please let me know so I can get it researched and added to the list.
