When I got back into collecting comics / discovered CGC in 2010 (after MANY years away) there were two comics that were at the top of my list for getting CGC Signature Series; Amazing Spider-Man #300 & Incredible Hulk #340
Fast forward MANY years and I eventually found one on Craiglist for a great price.
(Yes, it was purchased raw via Craigslist.)
It was part of a box of 100 comics for $90.
I honestly didn’t believe it was real as the Amazing Spider-Man #300 was the top comic in the photo.
The seller wanted to meet at a public place so they chose a train station.
Ended up it was an older gentleman that got the comics as part of winning a storage auction.
(Again, 2011, so that was all the rage…)
The book was sent to CCS (this was before they joined CGC) to be pressed and have a grading assessment.
It came back after some time with a certified prescreen of 9.6
At this time I messaged with Desert Wind Comics about getting Todd McFarlane to sign it for Signature Series.
Everything went smoothly and it came back to my possession as a 9.6.
Two years later I had a chance to add David Michelinie (it had been a while since he did a signing) and decided I wanted to go for it.
Desert Wind then let me know they could roll the book over to their next Stan Lee signing which was the month following.
I’d honestly never thought about adding Stan to this book as he didn’t work on it, but I figured the cost of signing would be offset by the increase in value, as long as it stayed a 9.6.
Everything went smoothly and the book arrived back as a 9.6...after three separate signings.
I’d be lying if I hadn’t thought about purchasing a McFarlane / Michelinie Signature Series 9.6 and then selling this copy with Stan’s signature and spending the difference on another book.
I have two other Stan Lee signatures (one you've already read about...) and after all these years this one just seems odd to have signed by him.
Honestly, the only reason I haven't followed through with that plan is because I like having a ‘Craigslist’ story much more than a ‘bought on eBay' story. Also, after the latest McFarlane signing opportunity I see how rare it is to sign 'Todd McFarlane' anymore...
