Worth it to get NM 98 signed and cgced by Nicieza? 0

[Ladic]

I have NM98, its already graded and got 8.5, however I didnt do pressing ad it was one of my first graded comics and was unsure if it was worth it.

Tomorrow Nicieza will be at a local con and CGC will have a private sgining, would it be worth it to break it out of the case, get it signed pressed and graded?

worth it for financial value? No. An 8.5 or 9.0 signed isn't going to be worth that much more than a book that isn't signed. And the signature is likely to cost money.

But if you want your book signed and cgc'd then go for it.

Artboy is correct, if the sentiment is worth it to you, then go for it.

Don’t expect any ROI though.

Read in the graders notes if there are indications of non color breaking creases or other significant wear that will strengthen the option of pressing it+the added sig would definitely be worth it

Worth it, cuz it's cool!

My extensive research into the topic the other day (5 minutes) showed that his signature added no value via 9.8 as slab and, in fact, sold for less than unsigned ones, BUT with liefield'S Sig too on a 9.8 #98 and 100 there is a premium that could conceivably justify it, but grading fees and Sig fees eat up most of any potential premium. (I saw no sales for 9.8 98s with just nicienza... I know you have an 8.5, 5 minutes was not enough time to research multiple grades. I spent 5 minutes on this so I am an expert.

only if he is keeping it. If he is keeping it yes it is cool! But then why ask the question in the first place?
