Does a cover autograph effect the grading of a comic? since, technically, it is not part of the originally produced comic.

Yes it has an effect

 

for more info or discussion of this topic you can check out the signature room subforum.  The stickied ‘noob’ thread at the top should help

Yes. It is at least a minor defect which could affect the grade, depending on what the grade would be if it hadn't been signed.

CGC will usually qualify cover-signed comics, meaning they will grade it as if the signature didn't exist and either give it a green label or, if one of their representatives claims to have witnessed the signing, their special yellow Signature Series label.
