Pretty sure I posted more than 10 items.  Some are purely because of their aesthetics (Batman 50 Middleton variant), others are for personal reasons (Black Panther #1, Thor #165, Strange Adventures #205), original works, or just being related to my favorite character (Silver Surfer).

Surfer's been my favorite character ever since I started reading comics.  When I started collecting key books (I spent the first 25 years of my collecting life just picking up monthly subscriptions), Silver Surfer #1 was one of the very first books I went after.  My only regret is that I had it signed because I've since learned the value of unsigned silver age keys.  One day I'll buy a blue label SS1, but for now it's outside of my price range and lower on my priority list (same with a blue label ASM300).

Holy smokes that's a lot of high grade keys.  That 9.8 Iron Man in particular, wow.

More of a personal preference.  I've come to realize that SS isn't for everyone so having a signed book diminishes the number of interested parties when it ultimately comes time to sell the book.  I also think that older books are harder to find in higher grades and getting it signed just reduces the supply of raw/blue label even more.  Lastly, even if you indicate signature placement, sometimes the books just don't look as good as you hoped they would be.  For example, I have a 9.6 ASM300 3x signed by Todd, David, and Stan.  Stan's sig is in black while Todd/David signed in silver.  The OCD in me wishes they were all the same color.  It might be the reason why I prefer the gold signed 9.4 I posted instead of the higher graded 9.6.

Here's a prime example.  The list price is below that of a blue label 8.5.  The signature doesn't do the book any favors and has instead lowered the value of the book.  Based on completed sales, I think many people would prefer a blue label to the yellow one there.

Wow most impressive!!! Definitely some GA sigs there you don't see everyday! You got some real gems there and thanks for throwing in the Barbara Eden. I wonder where she did a signing?

East Coast somewhere. Not sure where anymore...
