Hello @Dgraf,

Thank you for reaching out us. If the signing is not witnessed by an authorized CGC witness and then directly submitted for grading, the signature cannot be authenticated for Signature Series. Testimonials, photographs, video recordings, certificates of authenticity, or any other proof of signing are not accepted. Any items that have already been signed would not qualify for the Signature Series label. In most cases, they would receive a green Qualified label (attached). This allows the graders to ignore the signature for grading purposes and the book is not downgraded for the writing. 

At or below a 6.0 the writing/signature on the cover no longer has a significant impact on the grade and our graders may feel it is not necessary to qualify the grade. They will factor the signature into grade and the book would receive a Universal (blue) label with the same notation of “name on cover in marker”. 

Please do not send in COAs. Retain them for your records as they are not needed for grading and may not be returned to you.  

If you have any questions, please let us know.
