Quote:Originally Posted by poka Okay, two questions (not having watched the video). 1) Any potential bias? 2) Was focus on damage to the slab / case or the comic? I’d much prefer a case break (energy transfer to destroy the case) vs damage to the comic itself, given the choice. A bicycle helmet will fracture on impact. A car will deform and crumple (aside from intrusion points to where passengers are seated). A rigid structure that doesn’t fracture or deform will tend to allow more transfer of energy (or positional displacement). |

| How much would you say a Stan Lee signature adds to the value of a book? This being a book that I personally wouldn't have sent in for signature series at the other guy. Death of Wolverine #4 Holofoil cover 9.6. | ||

| I feel a SL signature is a must for a collection but with the signature being so common, personally I wouldn't put it on a high value or vintage book. If the SL signature was from the 70s or earlier, I like that more. | ||
