Hugh Hefner Signed Playboy V1 #1 0

[borntodeal]

Hey folks,

I volunteer for a really wonderful nonprofit in Burbank, Dreams to Reality Foundation®. The foundation holds fundraisers on eBay in a huge way. It's very successful.

We received this Playboy V1 #1 that's signed by Hugh Hefner.

The staples have rust and there appears to be some tape on the cover. 

Can the signature be authenticated? If so, who do you recommend? Do we then submit it for screening and a walk-through?

Our team are newbies to the autograph authentication process so we could really use help. The goal is to maximize value.

Thank you in advance.

Sincerely,

Christopher Matthew Spencer
Member of the Board

Good morning, thanks for your email.  Unfortunately, we cannot authenticate signatures.  Our signature series label is for books where the signatures have been witnessed by an authorized CGC witness or come from the artist directly.  If a book comes in that has not been witnessed then we can grade it but it will receive our green qualified label.  You can find out more about signature series here: https://www.cgccomics.com/signature-series/

Thank you!
