He did pencil it. It's not a Big Bucks item, but what matters is whether you want it signed or not.

Get what you can afford. This signing is a rare occurrence. He just doesnt do them, so get everything signed that you can.

Im a huge fan so I had several of his books already graded 9.8s. I sent in a large order of my personal books and bought a few to flip in a few years when market improves. Several copies of Spawn 1, Gunslinger 1 (several already signed by Capullo), a few King Spawn 1 raws, plus a few King Spawn 1 already signed by Capullo also, also threw in a raw Venom #1 Bryan Hitch variant for kicks. The raws were minty. All the others were already 9.8 slabbed.

I think the total was 13 books. I sent them in 3 separate orders. I take a pic of all of them lined up when they all come back.

Hopefully they keep the grades. I know there's a risk. But im thinking the signature will outweigh a slight grade drop. (providing it's a fraction). Im sure they are getting thousands of books for him to sign so they'll probably have them all out on a large table ready for him to just walk by and sign each one at a time. Just hope and pray...

I have 2 signed just because it was such an odd book for Todd to be a part of. Also got Zeck and Hama to sign it.

Edit: forgot that Rubestein also signed it

Didn't he just do a massive CGC signing in 2020?

I thought the same...I vaguely remember a "recent" McFarlane signing.

I believe the CGC site said the first one in there in three years. I believe he also did some limited signings for Gunslinger and King Spawn when the #1's came out.

best book for him to sign will always be hands down the cover of Spider man 1, with all the webbing

I'm kinda partial to Spawn #1. I associate Todd McFarlane with Spawn more than any other character...just my opinion.

I can get that, but there wouldnt be a Todd Mcfarlane without his work on Spider man I think, and Amazing spider man before that...and incredible hulk even earlier, and I was rather fond of his work in Infinity inc, as you can almost see him building his someday style for the Hulk while drawing SOlomon grundy

I have the opposite mentality. Having his signature through the mail doesn't have any meaning to me. I'm waiting to meet him in person one day and get one or two books signed. I'd prefer the sentimental value to having a box full of signed and slabbed books waiting to be flipped.

I agree...Spidey/Hulk put Todd on the road to fame.

Ideally, yes, the sentimental way is the way to go. I dont flip any books really so these signatures are cool pieces to have if you can't meet them in person.

@flanders id love to have him at a convention. i figure if stan lee could do it (and did), TM could too...

I'll add though - and unless im wrong, CGC and CBCS slabbed witnessed signatures dont look any different whether they are mailed in, or signed in person at a con.

You just cant tell if it was witnessed signed at a con or witnessed signed at the CGC or CBCS HQ...

The only difference is your personal experience meeting him.

I would suspect CGC is going to have something set up like this - for TM to just walk and sign...

@Darkseid_of_town true. I noticed that myself.

That how they sign these things though.

They arent necessarily being sold to fans, they are typically included in the VIP seat experience. When I did it a few years ago, You get 2 - 3 WWE superstar autographs, plus the collectable folding chair you were sitting in during the match to take home, a WWE lanyard, a selfie with 1 superstar after the show goes off the air.

@teacha777 Nice group...

I really gave it some hard thought to buy an ASM 300 for this signing... But I decided to pick up all these books above instead of that one book...

Given hurricane Ian, is it ok to mail a book to CGC for the Todd signing?

I know the area they are at, and the hurricane is near there. I would wait until the end of next week.

I would also put it in a giant Ziploc bag. To cover any water intrusion. The eye of the hurricane is hitting Sarasota right now, and CGC is in Sarasota.

I hope they have great insurance. If that place gets blown out of the water that's a lot of claims of not just comic books, but tons of other stuff.

They were bought out by a financial company so it’s safe to assume they have more then they need.

True. They were bought out by Blackstone and oddly enough, Jay-Z (yes, that jay-z).
