| Which is why I think piggybacks and flipping are a waste of time. I wish more people thought this way, less competition. Oh, and eBay sucks for buying books to flip  |

| I just found out that Roger Waters (Pink Floyd fame) went from only signing albums that were personalized due to eBay sellers is back to signing other items. That being said he's requesting on his Facebook page that those that resell his autograph on eBay stay away from his shows. I guess this isn't just happening in one industry now. | ||

| I thought Warren Buffets main investment rule was to buy when everyone else is selling. Does that apply to comic books? |

Rummaging through my collection I found something of interest for this thread. The 1994 NY Comic Con program.  |

| Not sure about Jurgens or Starlin but most of those guys are still signing for free. | ||

| I don't think I saw a post on John Bryne and his stance on signing for graded/slabbed comics. Looks like he isn't interested. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Towmater As an AW for CBCS at NYCC I am submitting my three Byrne signed books for yellow label if they will take them. When I submit them next month I will find out if I get a yellow label or a red one. Two of the books are IDW exclusives from the show. The big book is the Iron Fist 1 signed by Byrne, Claremont, and Wolfman. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Logan510 Two of the books were not window bagged as I just bought them from IDW. The Iron Fist 1 was window bagged (did get signed) and so was my X-Men 98 that Byrne was removing from the window bag (he did not do the cover and wanted to sign the interior instead) when IDW figured out what I was up to and made me get two of their lousy books signed instead. |

| My mistake, it was Uncanny X-Men 99. I had it with the Iron Fist 1 because it had been signed by Marv Wolfman and in the hear of the moment I had forgotten that Byrne had not worked on the book. Byrne knew enough not to sign the cover but I do not know why he thought an interior signature would be a good idea. In any event, Buzkill at IDW put a stop to it before he could sign the book. |

| I wonder what the Official CBCS Policy is on creators that don't want their signatures slabbed? Since they have a posted policy about the parties that can witness certain artist it would seem that there might be a policy on this. It would be great if someone stated what it might be if there is one. | ||

| @Towmater I do not think that CBCS is asking the artists if they want their signatures to be eligible for witnessing (yellow label) but I do know that they are going out of their way to avoid upsetting artists such as Robert Kirkman and Todd McFarlane who exclusively work with CGC and can only be a red verified label. I showed Steve Paulus pictures on my cell phone of Todd McFarlane signing my books and he told me he could not give me a yellow label. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by drchaos You might want to look at the Signature restrictions thread as it states this about about McFarlane. Its states: "Latest Updated List of Signature restrictions: AWs CANNOT self-witness ROBERT KIRKMAN, TODD MCFARLANE, ADAM HUGHES (only through Trinity Comics private signing)..." Maybe I am reading that wrong but I think you can get a CBCS yellow label if Trinity Comics does it via a private signing but maybe I am wrong. The verbiage of that sentence makes it hard for me to figure it out. Maybe you are right. So, what is the rule on creators that have stated they don't want their signatures slabbed? |

| @Towmater There are three groups of artists. The Kirkman / McFarlane group is red label only. The Hughes, etc. great can get a yellow label if you pay the vig to the artist or their handlers (or else you get red label). Group three such as Walt Simonson can get a yellow label without just an AW. | ||

| FYI, I asked Byrne on his forum and he says the incident never happened and that he generally declines to sign other people’s work. | ||

| An artist has every right to charge whatever they want to whoever they want, for whatever reason. However, if any artist is now saying they dont want their sig slabbed at all... thats just going too far. Too bad. Not their choice, nor their right. I hope none of the grading companies cave to that pressure, its ridiculous. |

| @shrewbeer There is a stick and a carrot. The carrot is the chance for CBCS to get the exclusive in the future. The stick could involve litigation, restrictions on signings, or potentially bad mouthing CBCS to others. Since I am not privy to the conversations between the artists and the grading companies I do not know exactly why CBCS is playing nice with McFarlane and Kirkman, etc. at our expense. |
