   The value was 98% for the book.  I still have people giving me updates   
   of Stan signing TTM.  Just send an item and SASE.  The problem is that   
   the buyer, if he ever decides to resell the book, now has a select   
   audience.  I know this from working in a collectibles store.  A lot of   
   collectors consider a comic book or a trading card, that has been   
   signed, to now be devalued.  I'm positive that he could find a buyer   
   further down the road, especially if, God forbid, something happens to   
   Stan.  I haven't seen an Overstreet Guide for comics in ages, but for   
   $850.00, the comic must have been in good/fair grade condition.  I do   
   remember that a near mint copy of #1 was valued at over $45,000.00 in   
   2002/2003.
