I met John Tyler Christopher while he was doing a signing at my local LCS when I lived in Indiana. I’m a big fan of the action figure covers. I brought in a stack 20 or more books. The line wasn’t very long. He was surprised about the number of books. He kept thanking me for purchasing these books. He signed all of them rotating between signing some of mine and signing books from others as they worked their way through the line. We chatted a while and he told me the story of the first action figure cover, Boba Fett. He was inspired by his action figure of Boba Fett that he still has to this day. No surprise, he is a huge Star Wars fan. And a very nice person.

I haven't met him yet. Even though he didn't invent the action figure variant, he definitely made them popular with the Star Wars ones. And since he's done hundreds of them now I guess he can take the credit for making them what they are today. The Boba Fett cover is actually a variant for issue #4 (so not the first variant) but it WAS the first exclusive he offered on his website.

A prog rock inspired Star Wars t-shirt and CGC unboxing. Seems like a good combination to me. Nice work!

Cool shirt and thanks for sharing! I learned about the Dead World book with Crow ad on back. Do you know off hand how many Star Wars action figures issues there are?

Thanks! Off hand I would say there are a LOT of Star Wars action figure covers, LOL. More specifically I would say there are currently just under 200 different.

I have a few books I had autographed when I was young, before all the certificates and pay to get books autographed! you show up and they sign books. Does un-certified autographs affect the grading?

Historically, if CGC doesn't physically witness the signature they will give you a green label "Name written on cover in marker". But they recently just partnered (or bought) an authentication service so now you can get a "verified" signature label, just like CBCS does. What the difference in value between a verified signature and a witnessed signature is remains to be seen.
