But like i said before, Bottom inside page somewhere is just fine.

I've only had a couple books signed (by McFarland). In the future, I've thought that I would ask to have the signatures on the inside front page. But I wasn't sure if that is common, uncommon, or acceptable. Like when you get a book signed by the author, they do it on the inside, not cover. I don't want comics signed on the cover because it interferes with the enjoyment of the artwork.

No one would ever ask DeVinci to sign his name across the Mona Lisa with a gold ink pen.

I hope everyone can see that To me anyway , its pretty awesome , the only comic really bad is the Journey into Mystery. The rest are 5+ and the Avengers #1 is in pretty good shape , but i dont want to jinx myself . There is a comic con near where i live and and Stan Lee will be there , so i was wondering , would it be better to get them signed if i could , then CGC them ?

Ahhhh.....the old question pops up again...."to sign or not to sign".

For the holy grail keys you have I'm in the "not to sign" camp.

I know its Stan Lee and all but signatures are still ink on comics. I have signed books (Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, John Romita etc.) but these books are newer and not holy grails.

Personally, I'm OK with signed books but not for the big books like you have.

What's anyone else think?

I'm with you 100% I hate any signature on any of my books, I don't even like them on common books, to me its defaced but that's my opinion.

Well done!
Once CGC'd he could probably buy another new house Lol.

Well i have been into comics for 30 yrs now , collecting and reading them. But now i wanted to start getting back into a comic book store. So i was talking with this over with my mom , she told me her bf had some comics. So i asked him if i could see his collection , and he hummed and hawed for weeks. Finally he said yea his comics were in the garage somewhere. So if i could find them i could look at them. I went out to the garage of a fairly new house , opened the garage door and wow , it was filled up to about 3-4 feet of crap and garbage. At that point I was very disappointed. But I crawled into the pile of odds and ends. Within minutes I found the comics. Buried under other garbage , in old clear plastic bags of all kinds , dusty , in cardboard boxes with no tops. My heart dropped , after all this time I was worried they were moldy , wet , falling apart. Took them into the house and started going through the bags. Much to my surprise once out of the old , dusty , dirty bags , the comics held up pretty well. I am just going to post some of the key issues , but there are so many , i cant post them all. Anyway , I love that i get to actually get to play with these comics , lol , well bag them and board them. I evened used dr. gloves when doing so , and told my mom not to touch them
Avengers # 1 - 9 , 11
X-Men # 1 - 8
Strange Tales # 69 , 102 -121
AMAZING FANTASY # 15
Amazing Spider-Man # 1 - 79
Journey into Mystery # 83 - 109
Daredevil # 1 odds and end up to 79
So all in all a really good day. Now i just have to get them CGC and then let him sell them for him. But yea that is my story , and i hope i can tell many more like this. Oh there are still a lot of comics to go through but those are the wow ones , I hope you enjoyed my story
