Qualified book for In-House signing 0

[Ken Gehrlein]

This is going to be a messy question. I have a qualified book from 2003 with many sigs on it. If I submit this for Connor/Palmiotti I understand it will stay Qualified (NO SigS), but will their names/event be included on the header. Or will it come back as "23 names in ink". I'm pretty sure they were at that con and wanted to add them. The back is white and unmarked, so I thought adding theirs to the back might clean up the authentication for their names. Do I ship it in the holder to keep is safe and hold what little grading/provenance there is (as I submitted it from that 03 con through Paradise, before CGC did tables at cons) or break it out as it's already "voodooed" and save the $5?  Will this book retain its original CGC #?     Thanks, Ken

Good morning,

Thanks for your email.  For books where the signatures were not witnessed by an authorized CGC witness, it will get the qualified label and it would not list specific names on the label.  It would just state something like "names in marker on cover" or something to that effect. 

It is up to you, in this case, if you want to crack it out or not as it would still receive a qualified label either way.  However, it might be a little more protected if you were to send it in the current holder.  But that is entirely up to you.

If you have any other questions, please let us know.  Thank you!

I think you missed the initial question. IF I send this book in for the in-house signing, and Connor/Palomotti autograph it ON the BACK witnessed at your facility (as the cover is already congested with sigs, the back is all white and clean), will you recognize these 2 names in the header . Something like: "Signed by C&P on 5/30/2020 on the back with 21 names in marker on the cover". I fully realize this book will always be Qualified and return as such. I'm not going to waste $70 if you're not going to at least adknowledge the in-house sigs as they will be separate from the others..

The book should be a yellow/green label with the notation as you stated of "signed by so and so with 21 names in marker on cover".   Feel free to email or call customer service for verification.  You'll get a much quicker response that way then here.

Good morning, thanks for your reply.  Yes, the private signing is a witnessed signing so those signatures will receive the yellow signature series and the other signatures would receive the green qualified label.  Your book would receive the green/yellow label as someone mentioned above.  You can find more about our labels and see what that would look like here: https://www.cgccomics.com/comic-grading/labels/

Thanks!

Jennifer & Keys: Thanks for the reply, the labels link was helpful and didn't track it down on your site. The signature/qualified label must be somewhat recent as it would have been helpful 17 years ago. I had numerous books presigned and added an observed sig later back then, finding out all was for not when they returned generic/ignored wit-sig. I guess that was the policy then.  Ken
