My sister got her arm signed by her favorite frontman and took it downtown and now it's a tattoo. Just sayin'. Options. I personally wouldn't have Shatner sign my ass just in case my proctologist is a Star Trek fan.

	If CGC or CBCS arent attending, keep an eye out for those "authorized" 3rd party witness guys... They are just as good.

The sad reality of getting your ass signed would be that if you were to then post pics of it on the forum to share with the rest of us, I suspect there would be a suspension.

	Forget having your ass signed. Get it branded with the Star Trek insignia. That would show true dedication.

	@Pre_Coder I would say not. Tramp stamps are usually in the small of the back right above the crack. I was thinking more along the lines of a butt cheek location.

I could be wrong but I sense that a disturbing pattern is starting to emerge with your posts that suggest you may have an unhealthy obsession with the potential signing of my ass by Mr. Shatner. Any chance you will be attending the Cincinnati Comic Expo?

	Some years ago I had my ST 1 and 8 signed at a show where Shatner and Koenig were in attendance. Did not even occur to me to ask that Shatner sign the back cover of #1. It's worth considering. Having considered it, I'd still have the FC signed. If you can get the front and back cover signed without paying double - or if you don't care if you pay double - signing BOTH front and back covers would be great!! I would mention that early in the discussion there was talk of grade screening. You cannot grade screen Yellow label Signature Series books. You get what you get grade wise. Well - I will take my last comment back. I mocked up a submission and it appears you can prescreen with both VSP and Authentic signature submissions. I'm 99% certain that was not the case years ago. Wonder when it changed?

If you can get the front and back cover signed without paying double - or if you don't care if you pay double - signing BOTH front and back covers would be great!! I'm 48 hours away and still have not made my mind up on how to get the book signed. The back cover is 100%. I am torn about getting the front signed as I don't really feel there is a sweet spot for his signature. Personally, I love Madman's copy, however, I can see other people questioning why is it Shatner's signature across Nimoy's image. I wish I had got to this earlier when Mr. Nimoy was alive. The perfect copy I feel would be Nimoy signing the front and Shatner signing the back.

	You are absolutely right about having Nimoy's signature on the front. It would have been nice to have all the cast members signatures on the book. But the only way this would happen is to get a copy already signed and those are going for a lot of money that I don't have right now. That is nearly impossible at this time. I wanted both front and back covers signed because for me it felt right.

I wanted both front and back covers signed because for me it felt right. Yea, I have bought comics and memorabilia that's already been signed - but it is not the same when you personally get it signed. There is no right or wrong answer because it does come down to how one feels about it. I do know I tend to overvalue items that I personally get signed because they do mean more to me. Whatever strategy I finally decide upon I don't think it will make big difference value wise for the buyers out there in the long run.

	FYI. Shatner was one of the “Masked Singers”. (The knight sitting on a golden goose). Sang the song “putting on the ritz”.

FWIW: If I were to buy a signed copy of this and was looking, I would be turned off by the overkill (and likely the price bump) of 2 signatures by the same person. The front cover belongs to Spock. The back to Kirk. The signature should be tastefully applied to the back cover. IMO. I believe the future saleability would be enhanced by a BC signature as well. There would be no "Why did Shatner sign across Spock" stuff as that's really the only spot on the FC to have a prominent signature.

My mind is made up on that. Now the only thing I am debating is to ask for any type of inscription from Mr. Shatner. Nothing personalized, but some phrase related to Star Trek. I asked the folks at the Cincy Comic Expo if Shatner does inscriptions and if so is there a charge. This is their reply: "That is a decision he makes each day. It depends on how he feels and what the lines are like."

He was the host of the 1st Annual Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Film Awards (1978), and it was one of the performance breaks. Both dreadful and howlingly funny at the same time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wI4jMxveyI Enjoy.

Everybody does.” I'm sure we all hope to see your book in its final state!
