| A friend of mine has a friend who had her comic signed, but didn't wait long enough for the ink to dry before stacking another book on top of it. And now she has a book with a smudged signature. Now she's having second thoughts about having it CBCS'ed. How do such things affect the grade or a book? Does it depend on the severity of the smudge? If it's only a slight smudge does it get a pass? What are the restrictions? Thanks in advance! |

| Well.... if it was a witnessed signature it won’t matter, it has happened to me. If it’s a vsp or verified signature book I do not know, I’d have to think it would be harder to verify. | ||

If it’s witnessed I don’t think smudging affects the grade much, if at all |

Quote:Originally Posted by HeinzDad Just say No to paint markers. They might look cool but they SMUDGE. Years ago (about 30) John Byrne refused to sign X-men 108 with my silver paint marker and signed pen on the inside cover. Not sure if he did me a favor or not. So I graded the book w/JB on the inside and claremont on the cover.  But to keep with the theme. That smudgy signature is Denys Cowan.  |

| My only smudge was by Danny Fingeroth's thumb. I wonder if CBCS will ever provide a verification by fingerprint. This has been signed by Ron Lim since this scan. I need to update.  |

 I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for.

| The smudge only counts for one hit on the grade (example - 9.6 becomes a 9.4) but is a double whammy because you also lose out when it comes to eye appeal. People buying signed books care more about the smudge than graders do. |

 I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie.

Quote:Originally Posted by drchaos Good points. Very likely. Yeah that CBCS Wonder Woman could have been a 9.8 were it not for the messed up sig. And true -- the problem is if you decide to sell it people would be bothered by how the sig looks. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Red_Blade I think that forcing the artists to submit to both a fingerprint and a mug shot is the way to go on this one. Who would say no? |

Quote:Originally Posted by dielinfinite So many good responses but at the end of the day most are assumptions and only one is fact. Grader notes back it up. You present fact homie. No question about it now.  |

| @Red_Blade It really made me appreciate the availability of CBCS’ grader’s notes and how they can affect how these discussions play out. Sure CGC provides grader’s notes to the original submitter but unless they happen to be involved in a discussion about their particular book (and choose to share them) these discussions have to be based entirely on speculation, informed sure, but speculation nonetheless | ||
