Picking up some Jack Kirby Goodness. The "Key" Books are way to expensive, but there are plenty of others that are more affordable and often times much more appealing cover work than some of the expensive "Keys"  |

Quote:Originally Posted by Darkseid_of_town Every time I try Mile High I come away feeling stupid (or stoopid) on a couple levels. When I did actually find my book the 65% off raw price was still quite higher than a slabbed price on Ebay. I'm sure there are deals to be found at Mile High but I think you have to catch them completely by surprise before they realize the book has any value. |

| That's precisely the kind of book I would have had Stan sign rather than defacing a classic silver age | ||

Darkseid_of_town private msg quote post Address this user | |
| ha lol okay..no I am not anti signature at all, I just tend to get mine either on the inside first page, or I choose a newer book that isn't a silver age epic. Us older collectors are more used to how folks like Jack Kirby signed, always on the inside. Sometimes breaks my heart to see that FF #1 or Amazing Spiderman 1, with Stans name blotched on the cover in ink pen. I own two stan Lee autographs myself, to be fair...they are both newer books....a Spider Gwen 1, and an Emma Frost 1, both slabbed witnessed books. I collect autographs myself, although not so much on comics. |

HeinzDad private msg quote post Address this user | |
| I personally love getting sigs. It’s a whole other aspect to collecting and provides a hunt and complications. I don’t own very many silver age books so I guess I never really applied those thoughts to a book of that caliber. I also don’t even know if I can afford a Stan sig, I’ve never really priced one. I think out of all my yellow labels I got all of them but two. The two I didn’t get were my books done by Cody Lockwood, the guy getting the sigs for the current cbcs promo. | ||

| I totally understand the appeal of signatures but they're not a huge desire for me .... that being said my Jack Kirby signed New Gods 1 will be buried with me. lol! | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by GACI meant to touch back on your comment and got busy with life for a bit GAC....some kind words for sure, coming from someone with a collection like your own. I am not shy admitting that's perhaps my best book or favorite...I vividly remember the day I bought it. The owner of the shop would always put his best books in mylar up on the wall behind the register. I would always watch there and sometimes snag a bigger book on payments. …….the day I saw that one, there were two copies up there.....of Hulk 1. He handed me both and I had to choose..the other copy was perhaps a 5.5-6.5...much cleaner than this one and this one also has some marker on the spine. But...this one had the Kirby signature. Dealer wasn't sure if it was real or not, but felt it was . At that time...maybe 1987 Kirby was alive and well and signing at cons...and signatures weren't the big thing then, they have become now. The dealer priced the book for me, with no upcharge for the autograph ….since it came with the book as it was. Obviously we know what choice I made...today I still wonder why I did not argue and try to get terms for both copies. I put fifty dollars down, split the balance over three payments of a hundred each. I really miss 1987... |

| @Darkseid_of_town Great story! Love hearing stories like this. As they say, hindsight is 20/20. If we all new back then what we know now, our collections would likely look very different. You've got a Kirby signed Hulk #1....that's incredibly special!!! |
