WTB Stan Lee Auto

Heremraver · 11-11-2022, 05:10 PM

Looking for a Stan Lee auto on a graded comic. My first choice would be a Spiderman or first tier Hero key issue signature series CGC but I am flexible. If it were a random low grade second tier hero comic the price would have to be right. Show me what you got.

Good luck finding one! He didn’t sign very much stuff!🤣🤣🤣🤣
J/k! I hope you find a good one. I had 2 Stan Lee autographed comics at one time but I sold both of them a while ago.

Two nice autographed books Stan actually worked on. I never understood all the tens of thousands of modern comics people had him sign that he never worked on.

Also, what's up with his signed trading cards doubling or tripling in price on Ebay? Is it just the card market still being crazy? I mean, I just saw one of his cards sell for over $1,000 that I picked up for $150 AFTER he passed away.

The man is an icon, but he probably signed more autographs than just about anyone in history. He signed for hours for free at thousands of comic cons for around 30 years until the Marvel movies came along and he started charging for his signature. I remember in the 90s the free autograph lines were super long at conventions, so I never stood in one. Didn't want to spend 3-4 hours in line for an autograph during an 8 hour con...rather go to the panels and such.

Sheesh, well now Im regretting selling my Marvel Beginnings Stan Lee auto on the ASM #1 cover for like $500 a little more than a year ago, cringing to think what it might be worth now.

My guess is, while there are a ton of Stan Lee autos out there from comic cons and such (on comics, IP autos on cards), there arent a ton of packed pulled autos out there (although there still are many different releases, including the Beginnings sets, Rittenhouse, and even from sports sets like Donruss and A&Ginter). Still you're dealing with a more narrow supply. In other words, people arent just paying for the auto, which although awesome is quite common, but because the pack-pulled card. Somewhat similar to artbox Harry Potter autos where one of the big 3 can go for several thousands, whereas a non-pack pulled auto of them can go for a few hundred. Although those are more rare than the number of Stan Lee card autos out there. Another example is Joe Jusko- signed a zillion things at conventions etc, however the 2016 MM Jusko autos go for big amounts.

I also think it has to be related to the card boom. Autos go well with cards, and in Marvel cards outside the MCU sets there's really not a lot of options for a sought-after auto, like in sports with a zillion stars. You have artist autos, which people dont really chase (and are on any sketch card), and comic creator autos (either obscure, but even when well-known there just isnt much interest in the autos). So that leaves basically Stan Lee as THE auto to chase of celebrity fame.

Edit: if any interest OP let me know. Not the most key issue in X-Men 16 but Stan Lee was the writer plus it’s silver age. Signed 8/23/14
