    New to CGC and Question about Signatures

    in The Signature Room

    Posted · Edited by Mr Festivus

    Hi SemperSarge,

    I can't give a definitive answer, but I can give my personal experience.

    About a month ago, I attended a convention for CGC signatures. From my experience, if you sign a waiver form, they will crack open previously graded book. Signing the waiver form acknowledges that there is no guarantee that the book will come back from CGC with the grade it had before. However, signing it means they will crack the case for you and put it in a bag and board. They won't reseal it, so much as send it back to CGC to be regraded and encapsulated again. Once the book is cracked from the CGC case, it is no longer considered CGC graded.

    *I would also say if you are going to crack a book for convention signings, take a bag and board (with a signature window cut out) to put the comic into.

    CGC will have witnessing employees to walk with you to the signers. You just need to go to the CGC booth at the show and wait for one to become available.
