| I was just wondering if anyone owns or is aware of any comic with a verified Steve Ditko autograph. Asking for a friend. | ||

| I've seen several ditko verified signed comics. Seen more letters that Steve sent to fans explaining he doesn't sign books. There was a board member, if I remember right, claimed he was Steve's nephew and had several copies signed by him. | ||

| They are out there. I'd say they're rare though. @Batman66 is correct about a fellow boardie who said he was related to Ditko. | ||

| I've seen one verified I believe and it was one of those Ditko independent books. I can't remember where I saw it. I have had "Ditko signed" on my Ebay search list for 20 years and have never seen anything remotely legit. 20 freaking years...lol |

Quote:Originally Posted by comixfan59 Congrats to your friend, and good luck to the buyer (unless your friend obtained the sig himself). And that's the only way I'd participate in the verification program anymore. If I have a signed raw book purchased after the fact, I won't submit it, and I won't buy verified sigs, especially if they're priced comparably to a witnessed sig. There simply is no way for me to be 100% sure unless I witness the signing myself. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Siggy Also, I know someone who had a client wanting a stack of books put through the verification process. When the CBCS rep (won't mention his name- not yet, anyway) recognized the clients name, he said he also knew him and offered to change the submission to witnessed. Hmmm My friend was taken aback by this, and replied his client is content with verified. |

I cannot say about the examples of which you speak, but i know beyond the shadow of a doubt the ones I have witnessed were all authentic as the individuals who received them for themselves and work within the industry and not the hobby and have no reason or ability to lie about anything. Here is the before verification and slabbing confirmation photo that was taken. It's authentic. A particular individual in the publishing business received it from Steve himself.  |

| I never said I don't believe there are real Ditko sigs out there. Of course there are. But which ones? Certainly not the ones 'Aliens' admitted forging, so with some of them perhaps floating around still, and the fact they were verified in the first place, I question verified sigs in general, not specifically your example alone. I also wonder how many other unwitnessed sigs got a free pass to 'witnessed' because the person submitting the books agreed to such an offer, assuming my friend was not the only person to ever get it. Don't know. I'm sure the same thing is possible at CGC, FTR. |

| Isnt the first time I had heard rumors of "witnessed" status being offered for signatures that were not at the guys across the street...but as yet i havent seen actual factual record of it ...but who knows, usually where there is smoke, you find fire | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Siggy I know there have been qualified Stan Lee signatures cracked out and included with "witnessed" books so they would come back with yellow labels. I'm sure if the same person had other signings, then it happened with other artists. Yellow label "witnessed" signings with no signature fee. Neat trick. |

| Clearly there is only one way to know for sure. I realize not every collector is able to go to cons, so for them these programs are as close as they can get. I'm not suggesting everyone or anyone should feel the same way- But with money driving all kinds of people to try dishonest methods to get it, it's definitely something everyone buying 2nd hand sigs should be aware of for consideration. |

| In the very very early Ditko days, and in speaking with insiders in the industry, I don't think he was as opposed to signing books as later. I'm talking really early days. But later on, from what I understand, not a chance. So I get quite leary when I see something signed on a comic manufactured after the early - mid 70's. |
