Where's his Bat-package? | Byrdibyrd private msg quote post Address this user | |
@power_struggle55 That is such a beautiful cover! It's in pretty decent shape, too. If it were mine, if I spend the money to get it signed, then I spend the money to get it slabbed afterwards. For sure get a press first. | ||

whats worst.....regretting not getting it signed when he is alive? or regret getting it signed when I couldve did it a year later with a witness I have other older conans and star wars signed by him and too unwitnessed. but conditions are so rough. this came from a collector. my grandma knows a guy (the collector) who is in the industry in a sense (co-founded new york comic con, was friends with steve ditko.) who told me....if they charge....bring up his name if they been around for a long time like roy thomas |

If you love it, grade and slab. If not save your dough for something you do love. On a related note, I read an article this morning that mentioned Marvel is losing the rights to Conan. |

Quote:Originally Posted by ticktocktyler I think it's extremely rude to try to get out of paying a fee to the creators by mentioning someone's name in hopes of getting a freebie. I picture the OP running up to a table and doing this. I also think it's in poor taste for someone to decide on if he should get his book signed on the belief that the creator may or may not pass. |

@50AE_DE In defense of the OP, I think he mentioned mortality because he was debating the idea of getting an unwitnessed signature now vs. waiting a year or more in hopes of getting a witnessed signature. As for name-dropping for a free signature...do the opposite, name-drop and show your class by insisting on paying for the autograph. | ||
