It does make you question how many fake or printed signatures Beckett has verified over the years on comics, sports memorabilia and trading cards. The simple answer is...too many.

It's a mistake. It doesn't throw the whole program into question. It was Todd's signature, just not a live one. Yeah, it sucks they made a mistake but to say it throws the whole program into question is wrong.

so without a doubt you can safely say this is the only mistake they have ever made in regards to signatures

Well I'm looking forward to seeing how CBCS corrects the mistake in this specific situation. I hope they offer to press, slab the comic for free, and compensate the buyer the difference in the price he paid vs the current market value of whatever grade the resubmitted comic comes back as. For example if it comes back a 9.8 valued at $200 CBCS should pay or give a credit of $95.

i agree, handling this well will speak volumes.

I really hope CBCS steps in to correct this. Good on @Joosh for buying and filming it. Bummer about the results but this is a good opportunity to right a wrong.

I just sent a PM to Mr. Borock. I'd like to think the story isn't over. CBCS will come through.
If anyone reading this can help get his attention on this as soon as possible that would be appreciated.

To be fair, the inner sleeve is sealed to the label and around the book, so they aren't going to separate without obvious tampering.

Sorry but a bit naive if you think mistakes don’t happen across the firms for Yellow labels as well

But I guess this means that red label sigs are not being checked for live ink. That is sad

For the folks having a hard time accepting this mistake, I think you need to look at the situation with a bit more of an open mind.

People make mistakes. Cooks included nutz in a dish, a surgeon left a clamp in a patient. Those are the type of mistakes that are worth getting upset over.

If you believe in christianity. apparently somebody /something deemed your mistakes redeemable. Essentially mistakes happen and nobody is immune.

I would gamble a large sum of money that during the course of a day, quite a few CGC and CSBC books have been misgraded by .2 points.

As a few members put it, how this situation is dealt with by cbcs is a huge point. Although being refunded for the books cost seems kind of questionable. I dont see how that's there issue. It's like me buying a book and it had been deemed restored after it was originally a universal label. CGC is not going to give me 500$ bux back for a mistake. To think so in my mind is illogical.

While I agree with you in principle I would like CBCS to confirm that they check for live ink. If they don’t then.....

I know for certain that green label Stan Lee signatures were acquired, cracked out, and resubmitted with witnessed Stan Lee signatures in order to get yellow labels. If it could happen with Stan, I wonder what other yellow labels used to sitting in green ones?

@poka

I have no idea the process. However, if they dont, they should. All steps should be reevaluated. In my mind, I would also go so far as to halt authentication until they process a new system of checks and balances. That would show they are taking it seriously and committed to quality.

The first step in verification must be ensuring it's a live signature and not a print.

I agree with you on the ink but again seems that you have still not understood that a sig which does not pass verification does not mean it is fake. Just that it cannot be verified. That includes pretty much all Stan Lee’s sigs for the last year before he died.

I think @Bronte is on the right track. I work for a contract manufacturer of medical devices; metal and plastic that goes into the body permanently. Heavily FDA regulated with every process detailed, evaluated for risk, and validated. Even in this industry, mistakes happen, sometimes big mistakes. As seen by the daytime lawyer ads asking if you or a loved one had a certain implant.

Is the ink verified as live as part of the VSP process? It probably is, but my book obviously wasn’t. Someone didn’t follow procedure is my guess, and a major error happened and got through QC.
