He did not leave it open for discussion, and made it clear that money is not a motivator for him. Kevin, thanks for working so hard on this and keeping us up to date!

RadiantGraphix Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 I believe there was an announcement today? I'm stunned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Boyd Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Byrne was always going to sign other items at the shows, the question is if he had any limits or restrictions, or if he would require a Star Trek/IDW book in the mix in order to get other autographs. And no, there has been no announcement yet. I'm waiting to hear back on when we will be doing that. Canadiancomics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CKinTO Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 It's a bummer there's no SS, and unfortunately it's a growing issue out there that some creators lump anyone doing SS into non-fan / "only in it for the money" / "ebay flippers" stereotypes... has been discussed in many threads that there's an image problem with the SS program (even just the fact that many creators who do allow it, charge more for it). But that's a conversation for another thread. Bottom line, I'm just happy that Byrne is willing to sign other non-Star Trek items, as Kevin made it clear from the beginning that Byrne was anti-slabbing and any package would not allow SS. FWIW, for my 2 sigs, I'm planning on getting him to sign on top of my existing slabs (trying to finalize which ones!) I'll let him know I'm a huge fan, and I'm going to get his signature personalized to me on the slab. Maybe it'll be a subtle indication that there are "real fans" who like to slab too Canadiancomics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if he'd even be willing to sign over top of the case, good luck though. I am very glad he's signing non star trek books, so I'm OK with him not allowing SS.

I will be bringing these books to Fan Expo Canada. I am fine with not having his signature slabbed. The FF 236 is one of my All-time favorite Byrne covers.
