Hey folks,

I volunteer for a really wonderful nonprofit in Burbank, Dreams to Reality Foundation®. The foundation holds fundraisers on eBay in a huge way. It's very successful.

We received this Playboy V1 #1 that's signed by Hugh Hefner.

The staples have rust and there appears to be some tape on the cover. 

Can the signature be authenticated? If so, who do you recommend? Do we then submit it for screening and a walk-through?

Our team are newbies to the autograph authentication process so we could really use help. The goal is to maximize value.

Thank you in advance.

Sincerely,

Christopher Matthew Spencer
Member of the Board

Hey folks, I sent a magazine for screening, it went for pressing and I paid for a walk-through. 

Is a month typical for these service? I incorrectly assumed a walk-through was much faster than this.

Dear Friends,

I am struggling with that to do. 

My goal is to increase resale value. 

If that is my only goal, not to own this but resell it, what is the ideal course of action? Leave it alone or send it for a restoration evaluation at CGC?

Thank you so much EVERYONE.

Goal: to increase $ value

What should I do?

Hey friends, thank you so much for these suggestions. Which service do I order? I'm fairly new to using CGC's non-grading services such as restoring. Which service is best to order?

Can the grading on this Playboy be improved and if so, what do you recommend?
