In my stupid youth, I went crazy getting lots of things signed by artists at cons - rolling up with every WHO'S WHO and cover-only comic to get signed. (In fairness, I wasn't doing this to turn around and sell them or anything - I was just a dopey kid giddy at meeting artists I liked in person).
As I matured/smartened up, I started getting just a book or three signed by folks I met - maybe a key issue, maybe a nice hardcover collection, but always something that meant the most to me. (Custom-bound books tended to elicit a smile from most creators.)
And, if applicable, I'd usually bring along my HISTORY OF THE DC UNIVERSE hardcover.
I'm lucky enough to have the appropriate essay/title pages signed by George Perez, Julie Schwartz, and Neal Adams. But the jam piece is the part I'm most pleased with:
Sad to think how many of these folks aren't around anymore. I don't get to shows much anymore and I can't think of the last time I added a new name. But I thought folks here might enjoy seeing this. . .
