I'm wondering if it's a matter of money. Does cgc get a cut when they have these " witnessed signings"? I am partial to "Lady Death" comics, and the creator, Brian Pulido will send a card with the comic verifying his signature. Unfortunately, these get a "qualified" label. I do prefer unsigned comics usually, but wrongly thought there would be a level of expertise that could determine if a signature is fake or not. or at least afford someone in the business the trust that he wouldn't risk his sales by promoting fake signatures. Just a thought, am still happily sending in books for grading.
