| Is Jim Steranko available anywhere for signing events? I'd like to send a few books in for his signature but he is never in southern California. Or does anyone have any idea how I can get his signature, does anyone know him personally? | ||

| When do sales usually start picking up? I haven't sold in some time but recently sent a shipment off to MCS. I expect there are some early tax filers, but does it pick up more in May when most people start getting their refunds? Only interested because I have a lot of things at buy it now OBO and don't know if I should be patient or keep dropping prices until they sell. |

| @flanders - January, February, and March are always slow because people are trying to pay off their Christmas and end-of-year expenses/debts. I think things will start to pick up in April and be full go in May (like you said, tax returns). | ||

| @flanders I think you'll have to wait for tax refunds to come in because the general economy isn't helping anyone right now. I don't know about everyone else but gas prices here jumped 30 cents in two days. | ||

| I almost always average about a book a week. Sometimes there are little flurries of activity like before Christmas for gifts and after Christmas where people have received cash as a present. Most people are just now thinking about taxes. The deadline is still over a month away for personal with corporation taxes due March 15th. |

Quote:Originally Posted by figment I wish I could! It's pretty much finished now. I'm waiting on one more piece of wall art. The last thing is a little table that needs some kind of display piece, such as a carved bear about two feet tall, but I haven't found the right one yet. I'm glad you are back to posting. |

flanders private msg quote post Address this user | |
| This is currently at auction on Ebay. Do you think these signatures, especially the Stan Lee would pass verification by Beckett? Unfortunately it's verified by CAS so if you decided to reholder it or even go for a grade bump, they'd have to re-verify everything. https://www.ebay.com/itm/137098791389 I think I'm going to pass on bidding although it looks like it has potential for a grade bump with a press. If I do change my mind I'd leave it as is for the personal collection. Seems like too big a risk with that smudgy, thick marker Stan Lee signature.   |

| @DrWatson that never even crossed my mind. I know in terms of Beckett, they want to continue to have that separate due to the unique subgrades, but why have two separate autograph authentification companies? What a potential nightmare/cash grab. Update...They already had a facility right near Beckett/CBCS in Plano, TX before Beckett was even acquired.  https://www.psacard.com/articles/articleview/15215/psa-to-scale-capacity-with-two-new-grading-hubs |
