How did this non-SS signature get a blue label? 1 1

Here are some prior examples:

This 9.8 might be signed on the slab...I'm not sure.

This 9.8 (along with its 9.4 sister) is definitely signed on the book.

The description said - The complete set! Not that the chromium variant got a blue lane (label) and is signed by Jim lee!

That's explained why CGC keeps hiring people.  I would suspect the high turnovers at CGC.

Boy, the more you think you know...  

There have definitely been cases where a book with an unverified signature on the cover has been given a low to mid-grade blue label (such as the FF #48 above). I've also seen cases where a high grade book received a green label with an unverified signature on the cover. But I've personally never seen a case where a book correctly received a 9.8 blue label with an unverified signature on the cover. 

So what we seem to be looking at is a book that should have been either a sig series 9.8 or a green label 9.8...but not a blue label 9.8. There should also be a notation on the label regarding the signature.

So yes, it does appear to be one of these... 

 

CgC confirmed as such in the ask CGC subforum.
