| The $89 includes the grading fee Again, if you can easily get McFarlane’s sig at NYCC and SDCC, then more power to you. Not everyone is attending those shows and for someone that just wants McFarlane’s sig in a slab then $89 is cheaper than attending a convention to get one for free. Again, both options are valid and for some one works better at certain times than others |

| Just want to take the temp here. If you were going to send in one book, what would be your choice? Spawn #1 Spider-Man #1 Green Spider-Man #1 Silver Spider-Man #1 Gold These are what I'm debating (I don't have any of the ASM keys). These are my original, LCS purchased copies and are all probably 9.0 or higher. Really torn on what to send and I don't think I have the budget to send two. |

Quote:Originally Posted by KCBatmanFan IAW the CGC census, the number of signed copies 9.0 and higher is as follows: Spawn #1 = 2000 SM Green = 1300 SM Silver = 1800 SM Gold = 750 Do you know if any of them Spider-Man’s were the poly-bagged editions? I’m not sure how one tells he difference. They seem to have their own category in the census...i thought they were all the same (bagged or unbagged). I’d go with the comic that would likely grade the highest...then maybe spawn as it’s a first appearance/Mcfarlane Creation. SM Gold is the rarest...but it’s not rare by any means. |

| I'll pull them out and get some scans tomorrow. My Spider-Man #1 Green is a polybagged that I removed from the bag. I still have a second bagged copy, also. I think the non-polybagged green #1s are newsstand. There were newsstand versions of all three colors. The newsstand gold is really, really rare from what I've gathered. |

| Ah..but who has Coyote #11 or Infinity Inc #14?? I think if I were to get a TM signature it would be one or both of those vs the tidal wave of Spidey and Spawn covers. Maybe next time he comes to Toronto I'll have to go. |

| I will be sending my slabbed ASM 300 (9.4), but was wondering if I should also send a slabbed Hulk 340 (9.0), mind you neither of them got pressed originally. Is it worth it sending the hulk? |

| Here are the books I am looking at sending. After taking a good look, I think I've answered my own question. Spawn #1 and Spider-Man #1 Green look like they are the best condition to me. On Spider-Man #1 green, the biggest defect I see is that there's a spine abrassion to the left of Spidey's eye on the front, and aligned with the last line of text on the back. It's a little under 1/8 inch.   Silver Version is pretty clean over all but has some spine roll that would likely need to be pressed for best results.   Gold has an imperfection in the paper that runs from issue in the top bar to down below Arachknight. The front scan looks like it has vertical striations at high magnification, but I think these are scanner artifacts, they are absolutely not visible to the eye on the printed book - even with magnifying glass.    Spawn #1 looks pretty good to me - bindery tear on top left of spine and slightly blunted top right corner look like the worst to me.   Love to hear any thoughts on any issues I missed.  |

| Not that I would ever do this but ...... Just curious - if this were cracked, window bagged and submitted to CGC; how would it come back? I know CGC does that "Name on front ocver" thingy, but I got this on the indicia on the 1st page.  |

| @Nuffsaid111 I didn't know the placement of the sig changes the label colour. if the sig was on the over the label would be yellow and green...with the sig on the inside its just yellow...that's interesting. I wonder why the distinction? | ||

| @GAC - according to CGC, a neat signature on the inside of a book is considered acceptable and not a flaw. I wonder if CBCS considers it the same? |

| I think one thing needs to be made clear, while CGC will push an unwitnessed signature (and other major flaws) towards a green label, you can request a book NOT get a green label, in which case the book would get the grade hit but get whatever other label it is qualified for. So if you have an unwitnessed signature then get a witnessed signature on the same book, you could get a Yellow/Green for a higher grade, or request not to get a green and you’ll get a full yellow label with a slightly lower grade. |

Quote:Originally Posted by dielinfinite My book has a green label due to the unwitnessed McFarlane signature on it. Its grade is 9.4. I'd rather not have it knocked down to get a yellow green label. The signature on it is real and I don't have any plans on selling it. So, I guess I'll keep it the way that it is and save the coinage for something else. |

| It is incredible the amount of chaos that the industry self imposes on itself with respect to autographs. Yellow, Green, Red, not interchangeable between companies, 1st page maybe grade knockdown, cover definite grade knockdown, grade knockdowns not on back cover. This autograph system is a total mess if I've ever seen one.... and yet the answer for it eludes me. |
