Dan1jam Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 I can see that CGC x JSA is now available on the submission form and an additional fee to authenticate a signature. I have some JSA certified cards I'd like to slab. Do I still need to pay for autograph authentication if already authenticated? Or is there at least a discounted fee? Thanks, James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottish Punk Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 This was the same question I had. So to confirm. If I have a card with a JSA sticker and separate cert. Full price is needed to put that card into a CGC slab? Full price of both grading the card and reauthenticating the autograph? I would assume it would get an entirely new JSA cert number? Can you guys remove the sticker off the card? Seems silly to not have JSA stand behind their own certification. I fully would expect an encapsulation fee.

Administrator AllisonC CS Posted August 26 Administrator Share Posted August 26 Hi @Scottish Punk, Thank you for reaching out. If these JSA signatures are done through the JSA WPP service ( JSA's Witness Protection Program 'WPP'). If your collectible is autographed AND has a JSA WPP sticker on it (meaning that it was originally witnessed by JSA through their WPP) you'd select “CGC Grading” as your submission type as well as “JSA Autograph Authentication” as an add-on service. JSA autograph authentication fees still apply because JSA must re-verify the authenticity of the autograph and JSA WPP sticker. If the autograph and the JSA WPP sticker are genuine, your comic will be encapsulated with the CGC Signature Series label, which will identify the signer’s name and the date signed, along with a notation that the signature was witnessed by JSA on that date as well in order to differentiate it as being witnessed through one of JSA's signings. We will not remove these stickers from the cards but it will also not impact the grade of the card. If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know. Thank you and have a great day.
