Get a picture with you and the signer holding up the book after maybe. Would work the first time if you ever sold it in person.BurningDoom wrote:Yes, the signature will make the comic rise in value. However, in today's market you need to have either a Certificate of Authenticity issued with the signature, or if that's not an option you need to go get the signature Authenticated yourself which cost money if you're looking to resell it.

I guess I would want two copies, one can be signed and one that isn't
Both good points. The real trick of proving the signature is genuine.Hobie-wan wrote:Get a picture with you and the signer holding up the book after maybe. Would work the first time if you ever sold it in person.

Scott Snyder, the writer for American Vampire will be there, and I want to get my issue 1 signed, but if it will decrease the value, maybe I will just pick up a trade and get that signed- thoughts? Also is anyone else going? To this Con or any other this year? I will also be attending the Cleveland Classic Gaming Expo this summer
Pretty much, nowadays. But at the same time, it's only a matter of time before traditional comics stop being printed. The combination of Trade Paperbacks become more common and accessible, and digital comics being a cheaper options is pushing individual issue sales way down. A lot of comic shop owners I talk to on the comic site I frequent have been talking about a shrinkage of revenue in the last couple of years on individual issues and as a result have been stocking more Graphic Novels and Trade Paperbacks than before.Jbroderway wrote:Get it signed. The age of comics being created that will one day fetch millions has long since been over.
In all likelihood everyone alive right now and our children's children will be long dead before 99.9% of comics published after the 90's with an average print run have even a chance to compare in current value to non key Golden and Silver, and key Bronze age books.When that happens, individual issues will skyrocket in price again on the collector's market because they will no longer be readily available. But that signature will only make that issue more valueable in the end, either way.
