| Hi! I read the sticky first on signatures increasing the value of the comic. I understand that it is of personal value depending on individual, but what if the autograph is limited edition and numbered for authenticity? I have in my possession a Neil Gaiman autographed issue of Sandman. It is autograph number 798 of 2500? (I think I know for sure its number is less than 1000 but not sure on total number of copies off the top of my head) The comic is not in front of me at the moment. That being said with Neil Gaiman gaining more popularity with his many books and now a movie that was a pretty big hit, what would be the value of this comic now? How about in 15 years? I'm curious so that I can get insurance on the comic if needed. Thanks!!!

In 15 years you will see all 2500 of these in the quarter bin.
"Sometimes, when I reflect back on all the beer I drink, I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work, and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, it is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than to be selfish and worry about my liver"
I don't measure my manhood on a number, unless that number involves current salary, sexual conquests or inches...I am not concerned with my grammar on a message board. I will save my writing skills for something that is important enough to warrant them

Certificates of Authenticity are a dime a dozen. The only reason to have a signed book is because you want it to be signed. In the world of collecting comic books, it is not always about value, because there are people who value signed books but not many of them are here on the boards. I have two copies of Justice No.1 signed by Alex Ross, they are CGC Signature Series books and they may not be worth what I paid for them, but I bought them anyway. Why? I liked the covers and I have always like Ross' work. I am not expecting them to appreciate in value because of his signature.
Where does he get those wonderful toys!
I have yet begun to surrender.

His auto is valuable and that issue you have will sell but is probally worth only $10 or so, and will never ever reach a quarter bin unless it's being sold by a complete idiot. You dont need to insure this book...
