Autographed Comics and the CGC...

[InfernoFX-migration]

Does anyone know how the CGC approaches comics that have been signed? As far as the CGC is concerned, does an autograph significantly raise the value of the comic, or infringe on the grading process? I would imagine that they would require a means of proof that the real person signed the comic - i.e. a photograph of the artist signing or with the signed product. Also, would the CGC take into question the type of pen that was used in the process of grading? i.e. was an acid free pen used?

 

How do you other comic collectors feel about autographs? Personally, I get them not for the money, but because I find it really cool to have a book that you really admire signed by the person responsible for it. For instance, I recently had my Origin #1 signed by Paul Jenkins -- too cool.

If CGC doesn't bear witness to the signing then it's downgraded accordingly.

Did you read my post in this forum?

 

Writing on Pg. 1 of Bronze Key and impact on "perceived grade" & desirability?

 

or even the "9.6 my Arse" thread as well that has some CGC grading revelations
