Grading DF Editions

[Rezipe]

Hi

 

 

Does CGC also grade Dynamic Forces Editions? If yes, what does CGC with the COA? Thanks!

You do not need to send the certificate of authenticity because we do not authenticate any signatures that are not a part of one of our authorized signings, which are witnessed by one of our employees. CGC only certifies books as Signature Series if the signature was witnessed in the presence of a CGC representative and then immediately submitted to CGC for grading. We do not accept any other methods of proving the signature is authentic (photos, certificates, affidavits, videotapes etc.) Any book which is submitted with a signature on the front cover which is of a high grade will received the Green, Qualified label and the signature will not affect the CGC grade in any way. The green Qualified label will state that there is a name written on the cover and what the grade of the book would be if the signature were ignored. If the book has a signature on the front and is of a low grade it will receive a Blue, Universal label and the signature will affect the grade of the book (depending on the size, how much it disrupts the cover etc.). If the signature is on the interior of the book only, then it will receive a Blue Universal label regardless of grade and the signature will affect the grade of the book (less than if it were on the cover, however).

If the DF edition is not signed, you still do not need to send the certificate, but simply note in the variant field that the book is Dynamic Forces so that it can be properly noted on the label.
