I have a ASM #300 that was signed in '88 by T McFarlane and Stan Lee at a convention , but I have not gotten any certification. The signatures appear to be genuine. thumbsup2.gif893applaud-thumb.gifthumbsup2.gif

I have seen other certified books that make it a note, and not part of the signature series.

They used to give give signed books pre SS a Qualified grade, but now they give it a Universal grade and note the signature as markings on the cover. Sometimes they will even drop a grade on the book.

i think they don't consider it a 'real' auto without certification.

 

i saw on another thread that you end up with a blue label and a note that those names are 'written' on the book.

 

won't give it the sig series treatment.

Unauthenticated cover signatures garner Green labels now & always have.

 

Unauthenticated interior signatures get Blue Labels with notations.

 

To the best of my knowledge, neither receive grade deductions.

 

I have never seen a Blue Label book with "cover markings" as a notation. confused-smiley-013.gif

I think that's backwards, unless CGC changed gears *again*.

 

Pre-SS it woudl get Universal for a cover signature, but post-SS, due them wanting business to flow their way, the same book received a dreaded Qualified label.

Pre-SS, they got a Universal, but once CGC changed the business model to authenticated sigs.... devil.gif

 

Not so. Pre-SS I received a green lable for a cover sig.

Seems hardly fair to have a qualified for a valid signiature. When you go to the CONS, do we need to get it notarized?

I don't why that seems unfair? CGC or a CGC approved witness did not see the signing so why should they say that it is a true signature?

Huh? No one asking for a Signature Series label, just not a Qualified.

 

Here's an example: Some kid writes his name on the cover (Winnipeg pedigree for example) and it's a Universal, yet if Stan Lee puts his name on it, it's a Qualified. In fact, the only time it gets a Qualified is if the book was signed by a pro.

 

Seems rather strange, no?
