  1. I think there's a big difference between a Ditko signature and a Stan Lee signature. (I do have to add that all of this went down when Stan was still alive and signing.) Ditko was a introverted recluse with a standing insistence that he'd not sign anything unless he was currently working on it. My ASM 1 was already worth a few grand when it was signed (Pre CGC's existence). Putting a fake name on it when the real guy was not only alive but signing everything in sight (for around 50 bucks) would have been lunacy. Might as well have drawn a mustache on the cover. For that reason I always felt that outside verification should have been used for some of the bigger names. Glad that they now have gotten around to it! I would add that now that Stan is gone that the possibility of fraud is greater than it was at the time this book was slabbed and that changes things. But c'mon, stan's sharpie signature kinda stands out.
  2. No, not "mad" about the label. I would prefer to that signature that I had Stan do before there were even slabs be verified by a professional. Signature verification is not nonsense, it is a valued service. Which is why CGC just decided to add it to their business. They certainly don't think it's nonsense. Always interested at how mad others get over these things.
  3. Um, no. Two tiers of authenticating signatures would be witnessed and professional verification. So, um, point that stick at yourself, sonny.
  4. That's why you just have two tiers. Witnessed and professional verified. Buyers can judge for themselves, and the witnessed ones would be perferred of course. That said, someone can fake/lie that it was witnessed... these are all inductive claims after all, and all in doubt.
  5. My point is that this should have been dealt with this obvious problem years ago, at least for the well known/high end signers like McFarlane and Stan Lee. They coulda hired someone who could have at least verify some of the artists/writers. Alternatively they could have accepted outside verification from professionals. Does anyone really think I just wrote "stan lee" on my copy of ASM 1? Glad they got around to it finally.
  6. Yes. What do I do with comics, magazines and cards with autographs that have been encapsulated with a CGC Qualified Grade green label? We will offer a service for autographed collectibles that are already encapsulated in the CGC Qualified Grade green label to be recertified by JSA and CGC. An announcement will be made when this service is available. So you can finally get rid of those ugly green labels. A key issue here is that there are plenty of obvious signatures: The Todds and Stan Lees that should have never gone green in the first place.
  7. Remember that they will consider this a separate service from the yellow label, maybe even a new 'color" for the slabs. The yellow labels will still be the gold standard.
  8. YES. Now I can resend my ASM 1 with the "Stan Lee written on cover" and maybe get the right MFing grade on it.
  9. I've come to refer to myself as "Mr. 9.6" as almost all my ASM keys either came back as 9.6 (or I cheaped out years ago and went for the cheaper book.) Then again, this one almost makes up for it. And I got it slabbed coz it was a Black Cat cover appearance. Now she appears on the cover every damn issue...
  10. I slabbed 278 for the same reason, the white cover
  11. More great personal collection slabs. You seem on your way to getting the first 101 issues slabbed,
  12. It would benefit from a good clean and press. Getting vibes of a 6.0 and wondering if others agree. I don't know about slabbing as a good top loader plus your own home made label might be a better way to go. That said, if you want to slab it cuz you just want to, don't listen to anyone else and just go on and do it.
  13. I remember a few years back some guy was selling cases to put your CGC cases in. So, to me, the 5th party people should be ensuring the quality of CGC case cases, whereas the 6th party group would check on the 4th party. As this all gets confusing every book would then come with a 7th party guarantee that all the rest are as they should be.
  14. Let's not forget that most potential CGC consumers are not dropping thousands of dollars on one slab. Most people are safe as their purchases fall well below what would interest a scammer.
  15. Agreed. Taking time for a good response is the exact response I want from a professional group. The only thing that might have made this better was for a brief comment to the effect of "We are aware of this situation and are preparing a response." earlier on in this situation.
