Cus that is a sweet variant https://comics.gocollect.com/guide/view/940443 I purchased the book at midtown comics times square when it came out. I have two. I wasn't aware of the value until in line for crains sig at terrificon 2019 when someone offered to buy it on the spot. My other has the same sigs unwitnessed. Going to submit that as well (but want to try to wait to get pichelli and BMB). Should come out at 9.8 as well with a green label, which I frankly don't care about, well maybe I do; just bummed that there's apparently enough of a forgery market that people have to worry about authenticity. I've spent a lot of time getting a lot of sigs (including some miller, Conways, and Romita srs) so if I ever decide to slab, I'll have a lot of green labels. Oh well.

I admire that you're willing to pay for authenticated signatures It'll make the green part of the label not stand out so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard they have less restrictions Yeah they're the ones I was referring to with the pink (unwitnessed) signature labels. They call them verified labels. I think Beckett does the verification for them. Only my opinion but I would have a tough time paying any extra for those signatures even if its Beckett. Unless I had it signed seeing the person signing it personally I wouldn't even want it.

Are people out there really forging sigs you can get for 10 bucks or free? Is someone really forging Bagley or Slott? Or Campbell for that matter? I could understand with Lee (even though I purchased one ungraded with no cert, but maybe i'm a sucker) or Romita Sr. but, like Ramos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Wein, George Perez, Conway. I don't think anyone's crazy enough to try Claremont's. Jim Shooter often only signs his last name so maybe someone would forge the whole name? Edit: Can't believe I forgot Byrne! I already saw a few cbcs slabs with his "verified" sig. He'll have a few meltdowns over that I'm sure!
