Dave4cu Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I have a question. I recently had an Avengers # 56 Graded by CGC. It was a signed book Signed by Roy Thomas. There was nothing mentioned about except to say writing on cover. What the heck. I'm new to grading some of my books, like the ones that are signed, shouldn't it be mentioned?

Administrator MattM CS Posted January 17 Administrator Share Posted January 17 Hello @Dave4cu, Thank you for contacting us. If the signing is not witnessed by an authorized CGC witness and directly submitted for grading, then 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. Label Description | CGC (cgccomics.com) 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. More information on our Signature Series Program can be found on CGC Signature Series. Thank you!
