Gkt1181 Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 If a comic is found that has a signature on the splash page with no COA, will CGC verify and authenticate the signature through the grading process? I happened to find a Spider-Man issue with a Todd McFarlane signature. Thanks and I look forward to your replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless CGC can't decipher the signature. They'll put "Name written on 1st page in pen." or "Writing on 1st page in pen." THE_BEYONDER 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew I’d be called on that. It could indeed if the book is high grade enough, and the sig is a big hot mess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
