pretenama2012 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I saw on the forum some photos of people's Stan Lee autographs with small round (holographic?) stickers stating the autograph was authentic. When were these handed out or did you have to take your items somewhere to get the stickers? I was not offered one at Stan Lee's table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosmicAvatar Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 They were offering them at the end of Stan's table at the Sunday morning signing for £5, I know that (I didn't get one as I wasn't that fussed). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lostboy1981 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) At the end of his table there was someone from his group putting them on, this was Saturday, you did have to pay £5 but I'm glad I got one.

pretenama2012 Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 OK - Thanks, I just wondered. I got his autograph on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zagreus Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 They were for sale for £5. I only know this because I was handed a flyer when leaving the Friday signing (outside the building), which was filled with exclusive Stan merchandise. He said "it will be at Stan's merchandise table over the weekend." I was tempted by the sticker, but what's to stop anyone buying stickers then sticking them on fake autos??? Or do they only sell them to autographs they approve as genuine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teabelly83 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 They were definitely offering people them on the friday night signing. i didnt bother getting one 2bh, i know the signatures genuine so thats all that matters to me. i didnt wanna pay another £5 ontop to prove to other people its genuine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lostboy1981 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Yeah I think you can only buy one if you've had something signed and they stick it on for you to prove its genuine. I would be very surprised if u can pick these stickers anywhere else, they say "Authentic Stan Lee Excelsior approved" I guess it's as good as a COA. I thought it was a nice addition anyway.

Martin850 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I got one on my poster on Saturday, proves it's genuine and looks ok as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretenama2012 Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 I was at the Friday early signing. Had I been offered one I may have got one but, at the end of the day, I know it's real and I don't plan to sell it. I just wondered where they came from. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zagreus Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 There was definitely no mention of them when I went through on the Friday early signing, aside from the flyer that was being randomly handed out to people outside AFTER they had met them. I'd have got one, but as I said, I didn't know how good they would be at proving authenticity if you can go up and buy them outwith the signing.

GamerGraph Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 On the Sunday after my item was signed I was asked if I wanted one paid £5 and they stuck it on for me, and thats how its done you cant get just these otherwise. Its got a nice hologram, wish it was stan lees face or different marvel heroes printed on the holographic sticker but its nice. i wasnt happy at first as he was origonaly going to stick it over stan lees face on the comic, they need to take a little more care as to where these are stuck on but i stopped him just in time. id rather pay £5 for a sticker than £60 for CGC con service.

MrsEllacott Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I got mine Saturday morning. I have put a shot up of it in the photo thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riversidejon Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Got an autograph early Friday, which firstly like to thank SM and Stan for this as I did not plan to get my original Marvel 1976 book signed but now I was able too. but then did not go near autograph area for the fri night or Saturday and new not of these stickers until now, (dohh) if I did I would have made sure I got one / bought one, as there are lots of fake printed autos out there and the fact you could not take photos of Stan Signing, then harder to prove its his so a sticker would have been marvel...lous.....- in an information age, information at this event was......

Diabolik Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 After my disastrous attempt to get a Stan Lee auto failed, in order to get at least something with his sig on, I bought a print from Stan Lees people outside his signing area. Was £70, and they were putting the stickers on them, in my case where I directed as well. Strange that even though I didn't see him sign it, I have the provenance so the next best thing. Would sooner have got my own item signed though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zagreus Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 It's a shame it wasn't in place for the early Friday signing, but I'd rather have my unstickered autograph from Friday than potentially miss out on his autograph on Saturday or Sunday. I attended the last event Stan did in England a year or two ago and they had an authentication service there too. I'm not sure of the details as I was happy enough with my signed photo, but it was maybe just the same holo-sticker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casbyness Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I don't think those stickers really "work" with comics. They're fine for glossy photos and posters, but that sticker wouldn't satisfy one of the big comic grading companies if you sent the comic to them. They'd insist that one of their reps was at the event, and in fact I understand that there was such a rep at LFCC 2014, but in order to take advantage of their certification you had to hand over your signed comic to them on the day for grading, "slabbing" and return postage later. Personally I don't care what anyone else thinks about the authenticity of the sigs I got - I saw it happen, so I know they're genuine. Same way I don't need to check my driving licence to check that I'm me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diabolik Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) Haha yes there's no substitute for ones own eyes! My stickered print of an image I didn't really want though is the consolation prize for a day of waiting from 5.30am, getting soaked in the down pour at 7am and a wasted day at the con until 2.30pm when the news about Stan not signing anymore was conveyed to us.

Nightcrawler Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 So how can we get hold of these now ? I would have .... but they were not available Friday morning at the early preview signing SM ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eccheetham Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 if stan lee can have autenticity stickers cant showmaster sell authenticity stickers? iv been wanting ones for a couple of years and suggested them before. i think its such a good idea. i go to chevron and some people i have met more than once so i don't want personalized auto both times. so if showmaster could do authenticity stickers for sale at the events for autographs you have just recieved it would be much help for i the future to possibly sell on my spare un-personalised autographs i have multiples of.

casbyness Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 So how can we get hold of these now ? I would have .... but they were not available Friday morning at the early preview signing SM ? Yes, naturally SM will now sell off all the leftover authenticity stickers, so we can apply them to any items of our choosing. I bought three just this afternoon - I stuck one to the US Constitution, one to the Magna Carta and the final one to the Rosetta stone :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisW Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) I went to the early Friday signing and picked up a couple of autos but missed this. I do not think it was set up on the friday morning. Thankfully i saw someone with one on sat and asked where these came from and how it worked so brought my autographs back on Sunday. It seemed to be a desk run by Stan's people. They needed to see the autos and fixed the stickers straight on. I really don't see SM having been given any of these, as I say this side of things looked to be very much run by Stan's people. I was torn as I have no intention of selling mine but opted to do it in the end in case I regretted not doing so at a later date. They look quite nice on the images as it goes.
