Rayzor13 Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Looking for everyone’s opinion on which one (I can only afford to have 1 signed) of the following books I should have Todd M sign during his upcoming CGC visit based on potential future value. Let’s assume each book would achieve a 9.8 grade Spider-Man 1 Green Variant (1990 series) Spider-Man 1 Gold Variant Spider-Man 13 Spawn 231 Spawn 300 (cover a) Spawn 300 (Spider-Man 300 Homage) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADAMANTIUM Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Spidey gold I would say, someone more experienced will come along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can only afford one and you need a 9.8 for it to be worth it, I would buy one already signed and slabbed.

It's hard to pick for me because this flat rate pricing makes it seem cheap for this Todd signing... and I'd want to send in almost anything because it'd be a one time only deal. I can still take it to heart that if your wanting it to "work out perfectly" or something, pick already stabbed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Sinescu Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 I'm torn on this, too, and my time is running out. My personal preference right now is McSpidey Gold, although I'd love to spring for Spawn 227 sketch. I've always loved the way the gold ink on McS 1 makes the colors on the costume pop and it's one of Todd's most recognizable pieces of art, up there with ASM 300. One thing I would consider as well is how well a signature will stand out against the art. Busy covers tend to swallow the signature. I think the Spidey 1 green and 13 would both overwhelm the sig. I've been kind of browsing the SS books on the Bay to see what looks good and which ones fail. The silver sigs on the Gold Edition look fantastic. I went ahead and bought a Gold off the Bay just now. Apparently I was so compelling in my argument that I convinced myself. ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayzor13 Posted November 23, 2019 Author Share Posted November 23, 2019 Thanks for the input everyone. I’m still curious about which signed issue would be the best investment in the long run though. Just to clarify, each book is already slabbed so it wouldn’t make sense to purchase an already signed slab cost wise. ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If for certain the risk and cost then go with the gold spidey 1, of the choices listed imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aweandlorder Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Spider man 1 1990 is a timeless book. Timeless. It’s value-less raw, and even when in grade. But add a Stan Lee sig to it and it’s a $350 book. Add a Todd sig to it and it’s $250 (again, in grade). I’m sure that after this signing event there will be a mini recession for this book because I foresee a flood in the market. But that will change within a short year and rebound. for longevity and appreciation values, stick to any version of the mcspidey 1. I’m probably gonna go with 10 copies myself. side note, I discovered a cool book a couple of years ago “Amazing heroes interviews” #2 which features a cover photo of Mcfarlane from that era. I bought a few copies and waited for a signing. But then I discovered that all my copies (purchased from different vendors) have rusty staples. there are currently 3 copies on the census, all 3 are graded 8.0 and one of which is offered on the bay. the graders notes says on all 3 existing copies “rusty centerfold staples”. So I guess I’m not submitting those. a shame, cause they’re all very nice copies and I guess we’ll never see a 9.8 copy of that book Shawngk and ADAMANTIUM 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
