Ant-- a Signature Series comic roughly works like this. Mind you, I've not had my signed comics slabbed, just mailed back to me raw. BUT this is pretty much how it goes...

 

Scenerio #1:

 

I have a copy of ASM 300 that I bought from the newsstand as a child. I mail it (unslabbed) to one of the CGC witnesses who will be attending a convention where Todd McFarlane will be present. This CGC witness has Todd sign it and is able to verify the legitimacy of the signature. The witness then submits it for slabbing along with the proper verfication documentation of the signature. Weeks later, you get a slab just like Deathlok has provided

 

Scenerio #2:

 

You wait in line for the signature and a CGC witness is up front waiting to verify that the signature is real. Only difference is YOU are in line and the witness is already up front waiting for you. Once you get the comic signed and witnessed, next time you see it will be when it comes back graded in the above mentioned slab.

 

If you buy a book that is signed, but not in a SS, there's no guarantee it's 100% legitimate. Even COAs can be easily printed up on a nice printer to accompany a fake signature, so my advice is DON'T pay more for a signed comic than you would its unsigned counterpart UNLESS it's SS.

I have a CGC SS Batman The Cult 9.8 Wrightson (Don Rosa Collection) that is very reasonable...I know this isnt a selling thread, but I know I prefer to get SSd books versus raw signed books...IMO

Mauve = A flamboyant witness took the comic to see the Bird Cage where it got signed

 

Paul Litch swears it was a one time thing.

 

Yup, that's the only time I'll ever be that flamboyant. :blush:

 

Maybe.

that, to me is the best part of the CGC service. the witness.

 

takes away all worries about the authenticity of the sig.

 

until cloning is a bit more advanced anyway.

no. Again, unless a CGC witness is there to actually watch the person sign, it will not get a Signature Series label.

 

Regardless of COA, notary, etc. There has to be a witness to the signature.
