Todd McFarlane10455
 I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for.

| One day I'll look to see how many were actually sold. It doesn't look like a tremendous amount so far. Maybe people are getting smart. Purchase a comic that had a million print run (Spawn 1, Spider-man 1) for a few bucks, then slab for $89 OR purchase someone's submission for $299. Hmmm... I can't figure out which one makes more financial sense. |

| McFarlane posted a video saying he has signed so many spawn 1's that the unsigned ones will be more rare. LOL! | ||

 I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie.

| Four days ago there were 134 "Todd McFarlane signed CGC" books on eBay. As of this morning, there are 261 "Todd McFarlane signed CGC" books on eBay. Jumped 127 books in 4 days. The wave is starting and picking up speed. Anyone want to guess what the number will be in: 1 day 3 days 1 week We could give away no-prizes to the closest without going over.

| @Towmater - Sounds like an exponential growth curve. It can’t last very long, because even comics (sales) have a carrying capacity. | ||

| @esaravo It would be interesting to see if sales prices react the way Frank Miller yellow labels did after he started signing/sketching/remarking and a large number hit eBay. The prices went down after the people seeking them bought what they wanted. You could pick up Batman sketches for way less than all the cost associated in getting a yellow slab for awhile. I picked up several Miller remarked Batman books less than 150.00 in auctions, and 1 Batman and 1 Wolverine sketched cover for less than 500.00 each. The prices have kind of rebounded though but they aren't selling at a high pace anymore. I wonder if Todd sketched any to be graded this time around and what they will sell for if he did any? |

| At shows, he sketches for the 1st person in line often. I wonder if he did a remark on the 1st book plopped down in front of him of the 17,000. Hmmmmmm |

Quote:Originally Posted by Towmater You may have mentioned this before, but of the 261 CGC books you see up on eBay, are all 261 one from the recent signing or a total of signed TM CGC books on eBay in general? If it's 261 from the recent signing I still feel that is a very small number. If it was in fact 17,000 books, 10% would be 1700 so it would be about 1.5% of them on eBay. Sure there are people still waiting on their orders but a week has passed since people starting getting them so it appears, at least anyways, most people are holding on to them, at least from an eBay perspective. Hard to say what the number will be like in a few days or a few weeks, say even a month from now when more than likely everyone will have their orders back but I am going to guess we see the number stay well below 10% of the number he signed at the event. |

| @teacha777 Since I finally came down off the grading fence and have done two submissions through CBCS so far, I am waiting to send all of my TM signed books in until the new case debuts in March, and after I sell my house and move. I don't mind that they will be red label, I realize ultimately some may prefer a yellow label but a red label is more than enough for people to be happy with, I just don't have any plans to sell mine despite having a fairly good amount of stuff that Todd signed for me but its the memories associated with the signings that kind of go with the books for me so I want to keep as long as possible. What book was 9.2 that you sold and were you pleased with what you got? |

| I wonder if we could also be seeing people trying to dump their books before the market floods.@Kinsella5 brings up an interesting point about seeing when the books were signed. IMO I do not think anyone has the time for that......if anyone does my hat goes off to you. | ||

 It's very confusing how a signature has increased a $90 book to a $275 one. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Hcanes I only said that because Towmater is monitoring them on eBay, which I am not knocking, but since he is keeping an eye on eBay and updating here, perhaps he has checked how many are pre-signing event compared to ones being signed from the event itself. As Ted stated it appears 112 of the have been posted since the 23rd of this month, and more appear it seems every day, but still the number of them up on eBay is quite small compared to what he signed but that could change within a week or two. I still have a feeling many of them aren't making their way up on eBay and staying in people's collection....for now that is. |

Quote:Originally Posted by flanders Precisely my point. I did submit books because I knew 90 would become 275. I also knew people would not submit and then purchase the 275 because of laziness. Voila! I think the lesson is we have to depend on people being lazy, misinformed, and just plain not all there so that the ones that aren't lazy, misinformed, and are somewhat there can reap the rewards. |

| 320 "Todd McFarlane signed CGC" books on eBay as of this morning. I haven't bothered to add in the ones that have sold in any of my posts. Sales aren't really that brisk. For example, yesterday 2 sold, 3 on the 24th, 2 on the 23rd, 3 on the 22nd...but they are steady. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Nuffsaid111 I sold a 9.6 direct for 300 but that was before the announcement, McFarlane sig sell, so do Jim Lee. A lot of the new guys charging aren’t really worth it atm, at least to send to a third party for signing where you get charged twice.... The practice of not being able to get a yellow label just because the creator said so needs to stop IMO, price differences for graded and non graded need to stop. At least Neal Adams charges everyone a ridiculous amount lol |

Quote:Originally Posted by teacha777 Yes, apparently the latest CGC method of avoiding Newton rings is to scour the slab a bit, to prevent the optical interaction between the inner and outer plastic. As a consequence, a lot of my listings at MCS are listed with some variation of the following: "Scuffing on front of case; Scuffing to inner well of case." |
