RockMyAmadeus Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Crispin and I were talking about the Yellows popping up on the Bay. Yellow #1 (in the UK) and Yellow #2 graded 9.4 (overpriced x 3) It's nice to see them pop up though! How do you figure it's overpriced by three times...one just sold for $350...so by your logic a 9.4 should sell for $50 less than one which would probably grade 7.5.

MetalPSI Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 Exactly. I really try to pay attention to my interests and be fair in my dealings. I've seen many books I thought were fantastic deals turn into complete shills... Case in point, saw a Sandman #1 with apparent Gaiman sig and sketch(He highlighted the eyes in pen) and the phrase "Sweet dreams" on the cover. Pretty damn cool....but the bonus was the Kieth signature on the SECOND page, IDENTICAL to his sig on the covers of The Maxx series. Anyone who collects Keith knows he does not sign his books that way. Went into discussion with the seller about where they obtained the books. Reply was, " Some yard sale a week ago". Why would this be a red flag? I own a stack of books signed by Kieth where he used his artist signature ...

Nice collection. However you will notice that the sigs are not signed like they are in his OA as I stated... This is the book you mentioned: http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/sandman-signed-neil-gaiman-inscribed-477466753 I own multiple raw Sandmans signed by both Gaiman & Kieth ... done at various store signings throughout the 90s - they're all pre-CGC and their signatures look no different than the ones in the photos above (including Kieth writing out all the letters of his last name). So, no, that isn't a forgery. I've never come across that, ever. But I suppose I DONT have any of his sigs from the '80s or '90s so cannot say for sure.

MetalPSI Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) Ongoing debate between myself and mschmidt on early Kieth sigs.... One thing that gets me about this particular issue is that Keith signed on the second page... Does this have something to do with his feud with Gaiman? Did the reconcile in the 2000's? It's not totally unheard of for a artist to sign the second page, but it is indeed rare. At least I think so? From what I can tell, mschmidt is a stand up collector, so I am not going to refute his word, but it still seems fishy to me.

Green Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I have signed books from the 90s too, identical to the sandman book above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanfingh Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Splash page signatures are very, very common. They are proportionately more prevalent as you go backward in time. In the 80's it was VERY common to sign the splash page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd post the infamous group shot but I need to get my Blue #2 graded first for full effect. BTW it was a very long hard road lasting many years... but well worth it. LOVE THE MAXX!!

MetalPSI Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 I was wondering why everyone on eBay was selling a 36 full run of the maxx. I know bs when i see it, but didnt know the series actually had one more issue, thought they were talking about the wizard mini comic or perhaps DI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
