Only joking Greg, but actually that's not a half bad idea. I wonder if you wouldn't mind if I sent you a copy of a Valiant book and having you sign it. For a sort of personal book for my collection. You've done a wonderful job here. You don't HAVE to rip off the back cover though.

My guess of under $300 was way off, but the trend is still going down.

Seems to kinda be hovering right now.

Harby #1 SS from comic-sutra serial #0951855002 [SIGNATURE SERIES signed by Jim Shooter and Janet Jackson on 2/7/09]

$1,495 BIN or Best Offer. Free S&H.

I wonder if ZWH would accept a $100 BIN. Maybe I'll put one in for *SQUEE* and giggles.

In my own opinion, I think signing a book ruins it . . . I needed to convince myself the vvss books were something else.

Also, I'd exempt any book signed to promote a good cause

From the auction:

Still...there are only 6 copies that are Signature Series, and there are not likely to be any more for quite some time. This copy is, of course, a 9.8, signed by creator/writer Jim Shooter, and colorist Janet Jackson. Three of those 6 copies were obtained by me.

Because of Jim Shooter's current legal troubles, it's not likely anyone will be getting his signature on anything anytime soon.

I've seen this before and I'm trying to figure out where this idea came from. Why do some think Jim is going to stop signing Valiants just because VEI has sued him? I only met Jim once, but from what I know of him, he didn't strike me as someone who would hold a grudge against Valiant or their fans just because the current owners of the characters are suing him.

I don't understand either why Jim would stop signing Valiants (or why someone would think that Jim would stop signing Valiants). Afterall it's his own creation and he was involved with Harbinger #1. I would understand Jim not signing the VEI Harbinger HC but Harbinger #1 is his baby.

Which has been taken from him twice now. I could understand him not wanting to sign it.

If Jim wasn't bitter enough about Valiant after being rode out on a rail to stop signing Valiant books there's no way the VEI episode will have any bearing on his signing books now.

Besides, Shooter just seems like too classy a guy to not sign books for his fans.

That's a shame, but it will be interesting to see what it goes for.

Ended at $123.50. Was it won by someone here?

Anybody's guess I suppose, but I would say 100 to maybe 150 sounds about right (now watch someone bid it up to 500).

Good guess.

Its a legitimate concern... heck this thought crossed my mind as well. I'm happy to hear most of you say he's too classy to stop signing books now. More than likely the seller mentioned the possibility of Jim not signing to entice buyers.

IMHO, this is likely "fishing," putting it out there and hoping someone believes it.

I didn't see that this was a ZWH/XOHJ production, my bad... I don't think those guys would "fish" like that, so no disrespect intended.
