At this point he will not sign with grading companies. Has been that way for years. I have heard they are trying to work on something with him but....

a complete set of dentures and a new signature reprint stamp might put the deal over for you Torrey.

I've pretty much resigned myself to the fact that we won't be able to get anything graded. My hope now is that his package allows for 2 sigs - 1 has to be on a Star Trek book, and then 1 on any other book. Then of course the hard part will be picking 1 book to get signed!

He has said no on graded signatures.

So the word for Boston and Toronto is no approval for graded signatures.

Thanks for the update Kevin - any update on whether he'll sign any non-Star Trek books?

Is he adamant about it, or if let's say you get a CGC witness to stand off to the side discreetly to watch him autograph a book, can than then qualify for a yellow signature series label, or does that open up a disgruntled can of worms that Byrne will balk at and put up a major tantrum over?

CGC will honor his request and they will not certify anything and they do not approve of people not telling someone they are witnessing for CGC. #stayethical

Sorry, circling back. Kevlar pretty much covered it. CGC abides by creator wishes. So no having someone off to the side discretely watching. 

CKinTO there has been a lot of stuff online about how he won't sign non-Trek books, which goes against what I've seen so far. He is coming to the two shows to participate in a special event with William Shatner, but he will be signing at that event and on his down time. The question of what stipulations he has is being addressed with him and we'll relay that as soon as we know. He has made it clear that he does not believe in charging for his autograph, but one may need to buy a Trek book or two in order to get non-Trek items signed. We'll give you advance notice so people can prepare for whatever stipulations he may have.

Thanks, Kevin! Really hope he’ll sign one of my hardcovers. It’s 100% non-gradable.

[Kevin Boyd]

So we're getting some good news on that front, and I hope to be able to share official details shortly, but the rumours going around that he will only sign Trek books are false.

Special package info is coming soon.

So much for “he doesn’t believe in charging for his signature” ... I guess that doesn’t include “special packages” ... LOL

[subash]

I made a bet with a friend that I could CGC SS my X-Men run with Byrne and he was like no way Gaiman would be a better bet.;)

[RadiantGraphix]

I still don't think he's going to allow CGC.  I'm guessing (without an official announcement yet) might be limited to only first prints, no posters, no figures, and NO trades.
I got a beat up 141 I'd be willing to send in for a sig.

Byrne isn't making anything on the special packages. I can't elaborate until the details are live. If all goes as planned, by next week.

Again, no CGC, as stated previously.

but Gaiman would be a much worse signer for your Xmen run.
