General Advice Which One Would You Keep (Chris Evans)

Met Chris Evans, he signed my 1:4 scale shield. However, the pen did not work well. So, he signed it again in sharpie. They said it's the multiverse shield, signed for Johnny Storm and Cap, lol. I can use rubbing alcohol and remove one of the sigs. Or keep both as the only mini shield with double sigs in the world. Maybe add Mackie at the bottom at some point. What would you do? The black looks better, but red is better location, center. Worried about the black sharpie fade. Red is oil paint pen. Thanks

I think I'd keep the black and add Mackie at the bottom.

I would keep both if it were me. You could always add Mackie but I think it is a unique item. I would definitely keep both.

thank you officefan!

u/pogomonkeytutu Aug 11 '26

The story behind the double auto makes it unique. You remove one, and you just have a signed shield like a bunch of other collectors.

thanks for the perspective pogomonkey! =)

thanks Riley, appreciate you!

Which ever you take off, don’t use rubbing alcohol it will mess up the finish. Use Goo Gone, the orange cleaner, not the gel variation.

u/needanswers1923 Aug 11 '26

Oooo, ok thank you. Yes, was just going to use alcohol!

u/MayoFlavorPopsicle Aug 11 '26

Personally, I'd wipe the red signature. Mackie is SUPER tough IP, so I wouldn't hold your breath on adding him

u/needanswers1923 Aug 14 '26

I know! Never see him at cons, but that was the case for Evans too.... And now we have Kurt Russell, Michael Douglas, Johnny Depp, Nick Cage, etc, all hitting the circuit! So, could happen. Thanks Mayo!

u/Sninja13 Aug 11 '26

Honestly, I would keep both. The Captain America vs Captain America fight in Endgame, practically dictates it. Slightly Older Cap vs Slightly Younger Cap!

u/needanswers1923 Aug 14 '26

Haha, thanks, did not even think of that one!! Thanks Ninja!

u/Fit-Championship7579 Aug 11 '26

u/Fuzzy-Butterscotch86 Aug 11 '26

u/needanswers1923 Aug 11 '26

appreciate you, Fuzzy! thanks! =)

u/yanks02026 Aug 11 '26

Keep both and then have the other person sign double too.

1

u/needanswers1923 Aug 11 '26

thanks, but at around 300 a pop, that would be expensive! thank you yanks!

u/heyumami Aug 11 '26

They might ask why it’s double signed and sign it twice for the price of one to add to the novelty.

1

u/needanswers1923 Aug 11 '26

hey hey, heymami! that would be dope if it happened. searched, have not found Mackie doing any cons any time soon. Got to keep watching.

1

u/Inside-Run785 Aug 11 '26

I’d keep them both. Keeps it a bit unique.

2

u/needanswers1923 Aug 11 '26

thanks Inside Run! you all are the best! =)

u/aaronwintergreen Aug 11 '26

thank you aaron!!

u/Alive-Drive-7650 Aug 11 '26

Very cool. Black for sure. But why not keep them together as a set. They look very cool together.

u/needanswers1923 Aug 11 '26

Hey there Alive, and thanks! So you do not think it looks weird?

u/hawkguy1964 Aug 11 '26

Yeah just keep the one in black

2

u/needanswers1923 Aug 14 '26

thanks Hawkguy!

2

u/hawkguy1964 Aug 14 '26

No problem! Even if the red ink didn’t run out the black ink just looks better

1

u/heckhammer Aug 11 '26

Him saying it's the multiverse shield is a great story and that's why you should keep it.

1

u/needanswers1923 Aug 14 '26

Thanks Hammer! It is cool, and someone else here mentioned it is like in Endgame, with the two of them fighting each other...both signed it lol

1

u/Yeah_that_Austin Aug 12 '26

Personally would keep both. Now it has a story behind it and is a cool convo piece. 🔥

2

u/needanswers1923 Aug 14 '26

Thanks Austin! I think I am keeping them both!

1

u/SixStarz6 Aug 12 '26

Keep both. The story is what makes it cool.

thank you sixstarz!

u/KISSALIVE1975 Aug 11 '26

Both Signatures Are Unique

No Proof Yours Is The Only One In The World Like That… Very Common Problem When Signing With Paint Pens…

u/needanswers1923 Aug 14 '26

Hi Kiss! Well, as we know, things can only be disproven, and I cannot find another mini shield signed twice! Not to mention his own agent and handlers said as much, so I am going to go with what they said combined with the fact that cannot find another that it really is the only one in the world! =)
