Xeneth Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Simple question, but I could not locate the answer. Is there a service with cgc to authenticate a signature on the comic being graded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning55 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 They don't authenticate non-witnessed signatures. It's in the Help section FAQ: https://www.cgccomics.com/about/help-center-faqs/cgc-grading/collectibles-accepted-by-cgc/ Does CGC grade autographed books? Yes, under the following circumstances: CGC's prestigious Signature Series label (yellow) is applied to comic books that have been signed under the direct observation of a CGC employee or a select CGC authorized witness, or in select instances where CGC accepted signed books directly from the signer / publisher. The signatures are authenticated by CGC, and the labels indicate who signed the book, the date it was signed and, in some cases, the location where it was signed. If a book is signed without a CGC representative present, it will receive a Qualified label (green), and will receive a Qualified grade. No authentication of signature is provided for books that do not have a CGC Signature Series label. To learn more about CGC Signature Series, visit https://www.cgccomics.com/signature-series/.

Mprelee Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 I have multiple books with signatures on the cover and the first page that are blue label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning55 Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 (edited) Comics with an unwitnessed signature on the front cover are supposed to come back with a Qualified Green label. Unless you specifically arrange with customer service to be blue, grade lowered to consider the signature as "writing on the cover ". Is it a comic you had graded, or did you buy it like that? Inside signature comics are usually Blue Label, not downgraded for the signature. But if I am mistaken about this, someone can chime in. I have no personal experience with it, just what I have seen in other threads. Edited June 4, 2023 by Lightning55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low grade comics don't get qualified grades, at least not generally. On 6/4/2023 at 6:53 PM, Lightning55 said: Inside signature comics are usually Blue Label, not downgraded for the signature. Interior signatures generally have a negligible effect on grade. On 6/4/2023 at 6:53 PM, Lightning55 said: But if I am mistaken about this, someone can chime in.
