Quick question about the Green Label 1 1

[AmerViking]

I have a Poison Ivy Cycle of life and Death #1 that is signed by Amy Chu with the COA from Midtown Comics. I'm thinking of submitting it but not sure how to submit this book. If I do a normal submission, will it get a low grade due to the unwitnessed signature and a blue label or will they overlook it and put on the supposed dreaded green label with a normal grade. I do not see a submission form for the green label on the site.

Thank you for the information beforehand.

The signature won’t hurt the grade but it will get a green label.  You don’t have to select the green label when submitting.  They’ll assign the correct label.

Do you mind if I ask why you would want this graded?

You already know CGC will not authenticate the signature and give it a green label of death and there is a very high chance it will not return as a 9.8. I would understand if it was a childhood comic that had some attachment to it, but this is a new (2016) book.

Because I like this book and I do not want to take a chance of something happening to it.

Thank you for clarifying this for me. I appreciate it.

Put it in a modern size bag with an appropriately matched backing board, store it in a cool, dry place where there is minimal chance of something falling onto it or otherwise impacting it, and it will be fine.

Yea..

I would never submit signed books, to CGC.

CGC slabs for $50 offer no more protection than a mylar, backing board, and a top loader at one tenth the cost,  You don't have to worry about two trips through the mail and the whole grading process.

If you do send it,  don't send the COA with it. 

There is a good chance it won't come back.
