| I have a slabbed Sentry #1 at 9.8. Should I crack it to get it signed by Jae Lee at C2E2 this weekend? Risks include damaging during cracking process, damage during transportation. What would you do? Thanks for your input. | ||

| If it were me, and I wanted the signature bad enough, I would press screen after signature to offset possible damage between now and grading. | ||

| Eh.. I cracked an MS #5 with my bare hands to get it pressed. Damage from cracking is overrated. Granted, that was a CGC case. CBCS case may be different. If you're having it witnessed, won't the grading co. be there to open it for you? I don't do live sigs so I don't know how it works. |

| @power_struggle55 Not sure at all what you mean by it looking fake or it not being mentioned or what you mean by crack and fixed. Are you thinking the case is going to be broken to get the book signed and then resealed in the same case? That’s not what’s happening @chirock Not sure how valuable Sentry 1 is for you or how much you like Jae Lee’s art. If it’s a cool book you like and the signature means a lot to you and you’re confortable knowing the grade may fall (creators can sometimes be a bit rough with comics) then go for it   |

| @power_struggle55 The book is regraded with a new slab. It does not recycle the old slab. |

| oh...ok then go ahead. personally Id get another copy if possible. my plan is for certain issues. buy another copy (already slabbed or if slabbed...ungraded) so I have one to get signed if needed |

| My own view is do what makes you smile..if you want that book signed by that artist make it happen. Do not let what others might think or how they feel about it get in your way....never follow the masses, the m is generally silent . You are the manager and curator of your collection, so do that | ||

| I know a forum member that gambled on a Mcfarlane book, that was rather expensive and graded I believe 9.4 We cracked that puppy, submitted it , had it signed and pressed and picked up a 9.8 grade in the process. | ||

| cant remember but I thought at the time moving that book up from 9.6 to 9.8 was several hundred dollars in price according to GPA, I know it was an awesome result. | ||

I agonized for weeks trying to decide if I should have Bernie Wrightson sign my HOS 92 knowing to would be hard if I wanted to sell it later. This was right before signature verification. Finally said screw it and I was more than happy with my decision. It was for me and I didn't care. |
