| There is so much Stan Lee signed stuff out there, that it's getting to the point where a book is going to be worth more without his signature on it than with it. I have one book with his signature on it and it is probably a vintage signature from the 60's or 70's (maybe actually signed in 1964 because of some other writing on it). It means a lot more to me to have that signature from the early days of Marvel, before he was that well known and all this current frenzy started. |

| I have actually paid more for an unsigned book before because it was harder to find without a signature. I just wanted the artwork on the cover to be clean and unobstructed. This has nothing to do with Stan Lee, but I thought it was a funny situation. | ||

| @DarthLego I've done the same thing. There are quite a few covers that I think are so great and want a nice and clean copy of it. | ||

| For me and I know I'm weird, I tarely go after Stsn's autograph. Only if it's a book he did the cover and/or artwork for. To me, why have his auto on a book he never touched? I'm gonna pay for this but if someone signs something they never worked on, the grading companies should LOWER the grade. If they did, the signed books would actually be more valuable. I'd like to hear Ricketts or Boracks thoughts on this. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by SilverAgeFan Exactly. I tried my best to get silver age books signed that he either had something directly to do with the book, or he created the character. That's why I got Thor, Silver Surfer and mostly Spider-man for him to sign. Obviously I chose Avengers 10 Annual and New Mutants 98 but that's really the only exceptions due to key and high grade. Otherwise I agree totally regarding getting stan to sign only what he's been a part of. To me it has more meaning to see him sign his favorite characters, Spider-man and Silver Surfer. (Even though now he says he loves all his characters equally as if they were his children) |

| I was at a shop on Saturday and the owner had a CGC graded Mickey Mouse And Friends #300 signed by Stan Lee. His thought was that it was released at the time that it was announced that Disney was buying Marvel. | ||

| See that logic doesn't make any sense to me. I have a first printing copy of heavy metal magazine. But I'm not going to get Kevin Eastman to sign it just because he bought the magazine company. He had nothing to do with that issue, so why would he sign? On the flipside, Kevin Eastman just did his first solo cover for heavy metal magazine this last month's issue. Now that one is worthy of signing. So yeah the whole Mickey Mouse Disney Stanley thing is is flawed logic . | ||

| It certainly makes it one of a kind, the Mouse is the owner of everything to do with Marvel. Honestly how many Disney comics exist with Stan's signature on it and graded at a 9.8? | ||

| And other than being "Chairman Emeritus " or something like that, how many of those 9.8's did he have a damn thing to do with? I'll say it again, if a book is signed by someone who did NO work on it whatsoever, it should get a LOWER grade. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by SilverAgeFan I agree. Even if an AW oversees the signing, it should be treated the same as if I signed the book (which would lower the grade). |

| No, and my apologies if it seems that way. But, I lost my arse in the speculation years of the 90's-2000's. So I've become protective of the true collectors. I don't think it's right for anyone to pay a premium for a book they want when that book had an autograph from someone who did no work on that book at all. But I'll pay extra to have an artist autograph the book that he did work on. But, that's just my preference. I respect others differing opinions. | ||

| Put it like this: if I had an AF 15,or an AS 1, I'd probably pay $1000 and move heaven and earth to get Stan to autograph it. But really, why should the value of a Mcfarlane AS 300 go up if Stan signs it? I'm just lost as usual I guess. | ||
