New thread to show off images of anything autographed that related to the OHOTMU. If it's official, a reference work, published by Marvel, and autographed, this is the place.

Hellcat, trade #3 by Trina Robbins. I let some of it get cut off because her inscription spanned two pages and I wanted to get it in the same image.

Which of your handbooks (Marvel or otherwise) has the most total autographs?

Looking like A-Z Update #1 with five; a few others have four. It was a practical thing: I travelled from Victoria to Seattle for an Emerald City comic con that Stan Lee was attending, so bringing single items that multiple people could sign made sense from a packing standpoint. The single *item* that has the most autographs is one of the Gitcorp DVD-ROMs for the same reason (I don't feel like counting them but I think the X-Men one).

I sold most of my signed comics, but I still have a copy of Marvel Fanfare #45 (the all pinup issue) with 9 signatures.

9 is a good number. These days I'm getting fewer things autographed due to autograph fees. I like Larry Hama's system: if you arrive at certain times, he will autograph up to five items for free as long as they are inscribed. Presumably that's so people who want the autograph for profit have to pay but people who just want a keepsake can still get the autograph for fee.
