This is kind of related to my post - https://www.cgccomics.com/boards/topic/450055-role-of-cgc-witnesses-at-conventions/ I saw CGC witnesses not observing signatures at a recent convention, but I think they were spending time to verify CGC paperwork approached by collectors and sealing up the tamper proof bags. On a side note, I do look at CGC Signature Series and CBCS VSP as completely different programs. Yellow label is observed signatures (the current standard for comic books) whereas CBCS VSP is for third party authentication of signatures, similar to PSA/DNA services.

Thank you for the replies. I think the main thing is (being new to the use of CGC Signature Series witnesses), I'd like to see the process improved: I think it would be good if all signatures were "observed," especially if CGC is stating, "at comic cons or other authorized events, a CGC Witness or Facilitator will accompany the Collector to observe the signature(s)" (https://www.cgccomics.com/signature-series/). When I have seen CGC witnesses accompany someone to visit an artist for a signature (or used one myself), I was left with a good impression. However, seeing how this one table was handling CGC signatures made me wonder if others had similar experiences elsewhere. When I brought this issue up to a CGC representative during the show, I was told witnesses are assigned to the table, but the table may not be allowing CGC witnesses to be in that close proximity (don't remember the exact words). This person did not seem overly concerned there was a chance the signatures were not being observed. If you have any suggestions who I should speak to at CGC, I'd appreciate it.

I'm new to the idea of using a CGC witness for Signature Series submissions. I attended WonderCon Anaheim 2019 (3/29 - 3/31) recently and was informed a CGC witness would be assigned to the ComicSketchArt booth with Greg Capullo, Tom King, and Scott Snyder. If you look at the pictures, the CGC witness is probably 10-15 feet away from the table, so I question if the witness is actually observing the signing. Is this normal for witnessed signatures? How should signatures be observed for CGC?
