Signatures on Comic books- Good or Bad?
People tend to think having a signature on a comic is going to raise it’s value..Is this right or wrong?
Many people debate this issue on comic forums daily so here is a small guide to help make up your mind before you get an artist to sign your comic.
Ask yourself some simple questions beforehand:
1. Why are you getting the comic book signed?
2. Is the comic going to be just for your personal collection?
3. Should the comic be signed on the cover OR inside of the cover?
If your getting your comic signed for personal reasons then by all means get it done when you have the chance. The comic itself will hold more personal value to you even if it’s not worth much money wise. Some people get their comics signed on the inside of the comic book (first page) to not reck the front cover appearance. But again if you have no intentions of selling it get the signature where you want but if you plan to possibly resell in the future think about where the signature is going to be put.
In general people are only going to pay for a signature on a comic book if it’s a key book or they really want to own the book. As Joker states on the CPG forum- “The only time signatures truly increase the value of the book is when it is a key book, signed by a key person in the creative process and CGC Signature Series encapsulation.”
Comics that are signed by well known artists and are dead could possibly raise the price of the comic but again you’ve gotta consider the condition of the book too.
Overall signatures on comics comes down to personal opinion!

| I bought this lot of comics on E-Bay and it had advertised "autographed", I really didn't pay much attention to it since it was a comic I wasn't collecting(Cap. America). I was after the Avengers that was being sold with it to finish a run. I put my Avengers in order and put the others aside to be sorted later. When I was going through them later I noticed that I had an autographed Cap. America. I was very lucky indeed because the autograph is rare and made even more rare by his recent death. Yes, boys and girls it was signed by the Capt. himself. I can't remember the issue(90's comic), but it had on it as plain as day Captain America, am I lucky or what!!!!!! This issue is probalby skyrocketing in price even as I write and U read about it.
Remember, no matter where you go there you are.
