Or you could just submit an already signed book and hope for a blue lable

Why would you hope for a blue label? The only reason you'd get a blue label on an already signed book is if it received a low grade.

To answer your question, your book is authentic.  CGC is the only grading company which requires a "witness" of a signature.  The only way to get a yellow label (Signature Series) is if the signature is witnessed by an authorized CGC witness.  In addition the signed comic must never leave CGC's possession until the comic has been graded.  This is their way of guaranteeing 100% authenticity.  If a book with a signature is sent to them they will not authenticate the signature.  They don't want to be in the business of authenticating signatures.  Thats a sweet book btw! 

Thank you. I was already a big fan of Francesco Mattina. So to get this one of a kind has become a centerpiece of my collection. 

The quick version is does CGC verify the authenticity of signatures and/or sketch art when they grade?

Forgive me if this has been asked. I've only been casually involved with comics for my life, mostly focused on a few select titles. Spawn in particular, was my favorite and I recently decided to resume my collection. 

Anyway, I recently purchased a CGC graded sketch issue,  item #1592353001. If it's real, it would be a fantastic get for my collection but I'm having doubts. Plus, when I looked it up, it didn't have the sketch on it in your database, but only showed the blank cover, but did have the proper description. Is that something I should be worried about?

Thanks so much for your time.
