| only at cgc theyd have someone sign comics they never worked on. I mean he did work on conan but not those issues. Him signing it is like Dan Slott signing Amazing spider-man #300. yes he'd work on it eventually but his signature might as well be mine. its worthless sucks too that its first appearance of Red Sonja. |

| @Bronte correct those aren’t my books. Just really shocked to see that and another reason I avoid those send in signings. | ||

| possibly the worst mistake has ever made. worst then slabbing the wrong comic, worst then sending it to the wrong person (those i believe still turn out well)...but practically damaging a comic. yeah they didnt do it themselves but they might as well when they gave it to the wrong person. fmv on #23 isnt much for a 5.0 but with Roy Thomas' signature wouldve helped |

| Certainly seems like restitution would be a no-brainer in a situation like this. All associated costs plus value of correctly signed books. I don't see how that could be argued. | ||

Byrdibyrd private msg quote post Address this user | |
| The books still have value, but nowhere near as much as what it would be if the correct person signed them, and damages would be near impossible to determine unless the owner of the books sells them. That being said, I agree with @EbayMafia and CGC owes the owner of the books all costs plus the value of the books. | ||

| yeah they are completely at fault (Id blame Conway as well for not recognizing he didnt work on it...but he gets a pass as he probably saw a lot and didnt bother to check as cgc was handling it...plus he is a legend). this isnt a matter of someone stealing it or lost in transit or a mixup. they ruined a comic. now are the grades prior to signature or they grade for the fact they realized their mistake and since signatures are worthless affects grade |

| It's pretty assembly line at those signings, plus if the window bags the books were in were opaque or had a good portion of the covers obscured with masking/painter's tape, there's no way Conway would have known what he was signing. I can't blame Conway. CGC is completely at fault. Fortunately, Gerry Conway isn't just some nobody or recent flash-in-the-pan. He's a legit comics legend and his signature is worthwhile no matter where it is. It'd just be more worthwhile on a book that he worked on. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Byrdibyrd well yeah. you never asked stan lee to sign a batman. or scott snyder a spiderman. conway did work on conan but later on. his signatures on that comic is no different then the examples. any comic he worked on is worth money....any other...not as much. the comic essentually like him signing a napkin. |

| You can be made whole if you take this matter further. Either they pay for 2 replacement books signed and graded to replace these that are not as valuable, or you get a store credit for future grading to cover the cost to buy 2 replacements, or the last option is small claims court. Ive never sued anyone, but ive watched a lot of Judge Judy.  You would win this, hands down. |

| Yea... I'd be upset if I were to keep these. On the flip side, many kooks in this hobby get their books signed by individuals who had nothing to do with a book. It's epidemic and idiotic So if these 2 are for the owner, yep - I feel bad for him. If they were intended to be sold - they'll sell. There are plenty of other kooks out there who have no clue what they're doing. |

| I think once CGC was aware of the problem, they should have had the two books signed by Roy Thomas also. The books would each have two signatures, but at least they would have the correct one that the client requested. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by power_struggle55 I saw Stan Lee sign a G.I. Joe once. He had nothing to do with the book, but it's still Stan Lee's signature. Obviously, the signature would have been better on something else that had something to do with Stan Lee, but it's not like it rendered the G.I. Joe worthless. It sure gave it some WTF-factor, though. |

| At least Conway was associated with the book. The idea on an episode of "The Big Bang Theory" was Sheldon would ask Stan Lee to sign a copy of a Batman book for the quirky sake of notoriety. Then one of the other guys thought "Yeah! I'll do that too!" rendering the notoriety instantly anathema. My copy here of SA 205 has Neal Adams sig and of course he has nothing to do with this book. But he sure did for the rest of the run. Deadman is auto associated with Adams so it fits in a loose sense but not in the strictest sense. I certainly don't think of Infantino or George Roussos when I think of Deadman.  |

| All that matters is others want it; if not for PC. If Flipper the dolphin is loosely associated with aquaman because aquaman can communicate with sea creatures than a bunch of loons will put value on an aquaman comic signed by Flipper. |
