rtecbot Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 (edited) Can I send in my DF signed raw book with a COA to get a yellow label? NO Exception you can get a signature added to the any raw Book with CGC witness. The DF signature will be counted as a defect lowering the grade noted as something written on cover, but the book will get a yellow label. If you sub a raw book signed/sketch by itself only you can request a green qualified label, but that's it.

mschmidt Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Can I send in my DF signed raw book with a COA to get a yellow label? NO One exception you can get a signature added to the raw DF book with CGC witness. The DF signature will be counted as a defect lowering the grade noted as something written on cover, but the book will get a yellow label. That's got nothing to do with whether it's a DF book or not. You can add a witnessed signature to any already-signed book and it'll come back with a SS label and the previous (unverified) signature treated as a grade-dropping defect.

rtecbot Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Already did "added" a CGC witnessed signature to two DF books. The grade took a hit from the unwitnessed signature down to a 7.5. The CGC SS label states the DF book numbering and notes the unwitnessed signature as "name written on cover in marker" One side point though I have found out in my CGC SS submissions. If you submit a misprint or otherwise qualified type book for CGC SS then the qualified item I.e. print error, missing staple from printer, etc. counts as a defect & hits the grade since there is no green & yellow label combo. The error is listed on the label so the low grade does not throw off the book too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 I said nothing about adding a witnessed signature. I said for you to send in your raw df book and get it graded as that's a continuous question on these boards. Seriously pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkham Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Oh man. I am the TOTAL n00b. Recently fallen in love with comics and just won three signed comics on eBay that I was oh-so-proud of. Should've read this first.. can't get the SS obviously. So perhaps I should just go for normal CGC. Bummer. Oh well - learn the hard way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
