Artboy99 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I have 3 Stan Lee signatures and I am happy with all of them: 1. On my mint Marvel Value Stamp empty booklet 2. A Spiderman Drawing I did 3. A Interior page of FF 112, which was the first comic I ever bought. It is at the bottom, it fits nicely at the bottom of the page which is cut off in the scan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread could've helped someone: I think I read somewhere-- possibly in the window bag thread itself-- that Stan Lee's handlers do not allow people to use window bags - or at least for some time did not allow them. Which is ridiculous for starters but so is paying 100 bucks to deface a book imo. If it makes you happy-- go for it. Personally, I don't see the need.

You'd think that window bags were designed specifically for Stan Lee. Having him sign an important book today without one would amount to a suicide mission!

The person asked Stan to add a little sketch to the book he was getting signed--- and that was his attempt at drawing a spider. They had already paid for the signature series etc so off it went to CGC for encapsulation. Now it is infamous. While I can't say Stan did it as a stand against sketch sigs-- he didn't do anything like it again to my knowledge. One instance is not a stand. It is an anomoly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealVenom Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I know i'll be in the vast minority here but I would be thrilled to own any copy of AF15 or any of the books in this thread. I don't care where he signed it, end of the day you have a signed book by stan lee. I'll never be lucky or rich enough to own an AF15, im shocked these books are being spoken so poorly of. I would give an arm or leg for one. rogue14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01TheDude Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I'm sure many would like to own any copy of some of these books. no one is saying the books suck--- they don't like the sigs or sig placement or are stating they would not want to buy something that has that sig. This is a way of stating that many find sigs detract from the value of a book. So what they would be willing to pay for that book is the issue. All of these books are available for sale and with the AF 15-- VERY expensive. If you don't like the way a book looks, I doubt you would spend many thousands of dollars to buy one.

I would give an arm or leg for one. Good point. That’s why it’s a always a good idea to invest in reprints and get those signed. At least that’s what I’ve done. It’s worked so far and I’m happy with the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpideyFein Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) Well, as a fan of SS, and Marvel silver age specifically, I appreciate Stan sigs. That being said, window bag your book! As someone else had said, for years it has been tough for him to see clearly, and now be patient enough to write a neat sig (he has to work that sharpie about 1,000 more times after your book), and the fact that Stan will sign anything and doesn't know or care about the value of your "beloved" book or item. I met Stan for the first time last year and had him sign my FF1. It's a 2.0, and I found the perfect spot. Unfortunately, my window bagging skills were flawed, and I should have left more room cut out for his sig. His facilitator told me to take it out of the bag, as he said he wouldn't be able to see the spot to stop clearly enough. I refused, as my blood was pumping, and was filled with too much joy, about to meet Stan. The sig I got is not the prettiest, and a bit smooshed, but it's just perfect now. Looking back, I was a bit heated, and then I thought about his smile, and shaking the hand of one of the legends. While standing on line, he got up, and made everyone wait to hug and make a fan's day. The fan had been battling cancer, and Stan was very genuine with her. It was nice to see. Yes, I am aware of his history, etc. I got sidetracked, but want to say that I agree with many as well. I'm not a fan of him signing high grade mega keys, and love Stan SS on books he's worked on. There have been some ugly sigs posted. That AF 6.0 does make me want to puke..... BUT... Don't blame Stan. Blame the fan who got it signed. Maybe they were just star struck, looking at Stan's face, and didn't know where he was signing it. This to me is the only valid excuse. I don't what to say about it. It's tough to look at. It really is. I know it's someone's book, so forgive my comments. We all have to recognize that some love it, some dislike it. To each their own.
