CGC will not authenticate signatures that are not signed in front of a CGC representative.  Books sent into CGC with a signature already on the book will receive a green label with "name written on cover" stated on the label.

Never.

Honestly, probably never. They trust their employees only and thus, must witness any and all signatures. If you want a book slabbed and signed, cons and these new mail in signing events CGC is doing are perfect. Otherwise, what's the harm in enjoying a raw book with a signature? I have many signed books that I keep boarded and displayed in nice top loaders. Just as safe as encasing it, displays great and I can view the signatures (many are on the inside front page) anytime

Well, never say never but I hope they never do. The sig series program may not be perfect but it's a hell of a lot more reliable than after the fact authentication which, if you follow signed collectibles in other fields, can be rife with fraud and fakes.

This and exactly this.  I can't quite understand anyone arguing that CGC should start verifying.  Take a look at PSA and the mess of verifying signatures based on an educated opinion and the debate between certain pieces having perceived real or fraudulent signatures.
