| It seems now the autograph tickets went on sale this morning at the Rose City Comicon in Portland , OR... Stan Lee's last final appearance in Portland. $100. Every other time for me it's been $40 or maybe at most $50. This changes my original thinking that I was getting 10 autograph tickets. |

| With all due respect...the guy is 93 years old. It's amazing that his health even allows him to travel as much as he does. I'd say his prices are justifiable. | ||

| I was very excited to get to meet him and have a pic taken with him. Wish I'd bought all 4 autograph tickets. | ||

| I paid $70 last year at heroescon in charlotte for a pic with Stan and my son. Worth every penny. | ||

| The only reason Stan Lee's signed books are "expensive" in the aftermarket is because Stan already charges a lot at the onset. It's not like other artists, whose autograph values naturally increase in value (e.g. Neal Adams, Adam Hughes) |

| The web site has a maximum drop down option to 10. I'd rather get the maximum. In the words of dead pool, 'MAXIMUM EFFORT!" | ||

| A Neal Adams signature cost $25 two years ago at RI Comic Con. Last year it was up to $30 (you can pay an extra $10 for a holographic COA from him, but he applies it directly to your comic). Other artists are much more reasonable - Rick Butler and Mike Grell were $3 to $5 per signature. | ||

| @esaravo Any idea if that's his current going rate for his signautre? I have 4 books in mind that I'd like him to sign. Any idea if he charges extra if you're doing an AW? | ||

| I have no idea what he is currently charging, but he will be at RI Comic Con again this year. I am sure a CBCS witness could let you know if there is any additional charge. | ||

| @Mr_SigS I think they ask you where you want him to sign. I vaguely remember that a few years ago. He signed all covers for me then. He actually missed one of my 4 and I had to politely point it out to him. I wasn't going to have him NOT sign Silver Surfer #4, am I right?! | ||

| Do you think Stan Lee cares or not that I have 3 copies of AMS #1 for him to sign? #1, and 2 GRR editions. The other 8 books are all different. Mostly Spider-mans and a few hulk and deadpool. I only ask because I hope he doesn't assume I'm selling them. Which I'm not. Regarding the 2 GRR editions, only 1 has the record. So, you know. *shrugs* | ||

| No, he won't care at all, even if you are selling them. It's a fairly well-oiled machine. I had time to say "Thanks!" and he said "You're welcome", and that was it. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by kaptainmyke He doesn't care what he is signing(Batman, Spawn and few other non-Marvel related stuff). It goes like:" here, Stan, book. sign here, Stan. Next." His manage team pushes Stan to sign as many books as possible. What they care about is exchanging a ticket for $100. |

| There is so much Stan Lee signed stuff out there, that it's getting to the point where a book is going to be worth more without his signature on it than with it. I have one book with his signature on it and it is probably a vintage signature from the 60's or 70's (maybe actually signed in 1964 because of some other writing on it). It means a lot more to me to have that signature from the early days of Marvel, before he was that well known and all this current frenzy started. |

| I have actually paid more for an unsigned book before because it was harder to find without a signature. I just wanted the artwork on the cover to be clean and unobstructed. This has nothing to do with Stan Lee, but I thought it was a funny situation. | ||
