How much does an autograph increase the value for resale? 1 1

[Hollywood1892]

Just wondering

Say a comic is worth $50

And I have 2 signatures

Would a reasonable resale be $150.00?

[jsilverjanet]

this has to be the vaguest thread ever

My bad

I've been a buyer for along time. Never sold a comic

Someone wants to buy a comic I have two signatures chuck dixon and graham nolan

And I was thinking $100.00

Still dont know how to use the emojis properly either.

Wanted the emoji who is slinking around with a sad face

In the comic world I find this a difficult assessment.

A signed autograph in general increases with price depending on the quality of the photo/print, it's condition, and demand vs scarcity.

The best way to assess is to find similar looking items and see what they sell for to be in the general ballpark. I don't think there is a formula.

I actually just looked it up

And the same comic is selling for no less than $150.00

I think $100 is fair.

The one I am having trouble finding though is a C.O.A Rai 0 signed by Jim Shooter.

On modern stuff probably easy. Add the cost of the book, add the cost of the sigs, add the cost of grading and throw on a little for your time. Modern artists are around and signing. 

On dead or very old folks, depends who it is and what they signed. Some signed very little like Lily Rene (Friction House). Only once at SDCC that I know of and she is in her 90’s. Others, like Stan Lee signed so much (and much that he never had a hand in), is VERY common. Pre-CGC GA/SA stuff, whatever the traffic will bear. 

Some people don’t like signed books at all especially on the cover.

It depends entirely on the comic issue in question, the creator who signed it, and how the creator signed it.  If you've got an authentic Jack Kirby signature on, say, a Fantastic Four or Captain America comic, it's worth substantially more than an unsigned copy in the same grade.  Perhaps even more so if the book is a key issue, and Kirby's signature is a clean one on the splash page that doesn't mar the cover art.

I just watched 2 very recent Ebay auctions for  Jack Kirby verified sigs on Page 1  (you know that service by the other company)

 One was Demon 1 8.5 which went for near $600 and the other was a Machine Man 1 9.0 which went for almost $500

Having a Demon 1 with Kirby's sig on the bottom of page 1 made me quite interested in the outcome of that auction.

I have a set of all the Kirby DC books that came out in the ‘70’s. New gods, Forever People ect. Bought of the newstand and signed at bottom of the splash page neatly in ball point pen. What are they worth? Priceless to me...

[Grib]

Don't forget CGC, CSS, shipping and other fees less common like facilitator, your time getting the signature and show costs. So it is a real gray area.

About $3.50

How greedy. Keep one and share the rest.

When you say "same comic" do you also mean condition? Because that matters.

What? Break up the set? No way.

Get yourself a time machine and travel back to the pool at the El Cortez...

When you say "sell for" do you mean it's listed on eBay for that amount or that its actually a completed sale for that amount? 

 

[shadroch]

Did you really stand there and get him to sign all those books at one time?

[miraclemet]

Are you talking about a raw book signed, or CGC Signature Series signed? 

Im looking at ebay and there are ZERO raw books signed by Dixon & Nolan that sold for more than $40, and those were all Vengence of Bane #1s

Comic is in decent condition

Unfortunately the sig looks smeared somewhat
