It absolutely does reflect an authentic signature, it is directly stated in the description of the label found on CGCs site.

That is irrelevant, the whole point of yellow labels is to determine that a signature is authentic, regardless as not whether or not someone does specific cgc signing events. Again, when a future incentive like this comes out (which there will be) where every single copy of that comic is signed then it should have a yellow label because there aren't any that don't have them. Quite frankly, if the scenario outlined above results in a label that questions the authenticity of the signature I'll be switching my dealer account over to CBCS. And yeah, I'm just one person, but I know of plenty of other dealers who have qualms with several of CGC practices, especially the inflated scores that books receive when submitted and graded on-site at a conventions.

Why would I blame McFarlane? If the event where every single comic was signed then it should come back as authenticated. It just so happens that in this scenario maybe 5-10 weren't. I'm not so much concerned with this specific issue as I am with it establishing a precedent where incentives like this are being released more frequently and each one will receive a label that effectively states it can be a fake.

This is a different scenario though. This isn't where hundreds of signatures occurred across hundreds of different comics throughout multiple days In the event where every single comic was signed CGC couldn't dispute that it was an authentic signature.

I couldn't find a post on this so I figured I'd ask. As many of you know, a retailer variant of Spawn #297 was given out at the recent Diamond event. There are only 500 total, and the vast majority of them were signed by McFarlane. With that said, would a signed copy come back with a SS label? I understand it may not have actually been witnessed, but when you factor in that there is a finite amount of copies, all of which were given out at this single event that McFarlane attended and signed them, then the signature should be considered "authentic". In my opinion it would make absolutely zero sense for one of the very few copies that weren't signed to discredit all of those that were. Does anyone recall a similar scenario with another comic in the past? I can't think of any. Thanks
