MrPcfixer Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 I have a large collection of IP autos from many artists. I wanted to send a few Books into CGC to get graded. Can I pay extra to have CGC verify the signature of the book and then grade it? I dont want to get the book back with the dreaded "NAME WRITTEN IN INK ON BOOK" label. If not is there ANY other workaround for this? I dread sending my business off to CBCS....but I fear my Stan Lee and John Beatty books may have to go there just to get authenticated and slabbed. Thanks in advance everyone happy new year ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revat Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 You can probably request that they just grade the books blue label with the signatures counted as defects. but there’s no cgc options for verification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And IF they honor the request and give a blue label instead of green it will still say "NAME WRITTEN ON COVER IN MARKER" (Or pen, pencil, whatever) Sometimes it will say "STAN LEE WRITTEN ON COVER IN MARKER" but still no authentication.

But if you're just keeping the books for your personal collection and don't want them in a CBCS slab, I would just just keep them raw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. CGC only witnesses signatures, they do not authenticate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
