The original Impossibles list was started under the old witness rules. So the assumption was that they were impossible even if a witness could track them down. Now sigs are impossible unless you can coordinate the signing with CGC and have a CAW available. There is nothing wrong with that, but it makes extemporaneous signings (like movie premieres or KM tackling Rob Zombie getting out of a limo) impossible. If you have enough time you can get stuff approved, but nothing off the cuff anymore.

Met Ron Paul during a 2008 Presidential debate at the University I worked for and got him to sign a bunch of campaign posters. No comics though. Sold all the posters before the election for a nice $.

Dear CGC Boards,
I was joking about Kris Moore tackling Rob Zombie. It was intended to be funny gentle ribbing about Kris' preternatural ability to get hard sigs under the old regime. Please ignore any future references in the same vein that i may make in the future.
He does walk around trying to get signatures with a huge fake boner, however. He says it "breaks the ice."

Can we add Banksy to the list?
Also, does anyone have a line on Jamie Hewlett?
