| Hi all! I am going to Comicon Toronto this weekend with the hopes of getting an interior page on Spawn 14 signed by Tony Harris (he did a pinup near the back of the book). It's not a key issue or anything just something that I think would be nice to have. Any suggestions for the best way to prep the book for this? Secondary question, originally I wasn't going to bother getting it slabbed but let's say I do, does CBCS offer a service to scan the signed page or should I just try my best at taking a decent picture before handing it over? As always thanks for the tips! |

| I would say take a picture of it with your phone prior to sending it off. it's free and with the quality of cameras built into todays phones is way better than it used to be. good luck! | ||

| CBCS doesn't offer a single page interior photo, just a full book slideshow for $300. | ||

| @DarthLego I also don't know of anyone who's used it so I can't speak to the image quality you're getting or how long the process will delay your order | ||

| I couldn't imagine even using the slideshow service on anything worth less than $5K | ||

| One could also do a slide show of a book with their own camera. Then set it up as a power point slide show presentation. | ||

| @KingNampa It's a nice looking book (in my opinion) so $23 to be graded/protected/authenticated isn't that bad. It's not something I'd really worry about selling/recouping my $ I'm not 100% going to have it graded, it depends if I pick a few others to send it (thus making the shipping costs worth it). |

| Got it. But wouldn't your enjoy it more if you could open it up to see the signature. A nice mylar bag/board will protect it just the same. | ||

I would have him sign it. I am also sure he will have prints and maybe some original art for sale at the show. Then instead of slabbing the book, you could have the art framed and even matted for a nice display piece.Here is an example. Here is a print that Neal Adams signed for me with a head sketch of Batman.  |

| The print was pretty cool and I had him sign 3 different ones for me.I had him do this for me on a Friday night of a 3 day show when things were a bit slow at Motorcity Con 2 years ago. So it was just Neal and I talking comics while he drew. He let me keep the pencil that he used on it too. I want to add that to the frame eventually. | ||
