| I think one thing needs to be made clear, while CGC will push an unwitnessed signature (and other major flaws) towards a green label, you can request a book NOT get a green label, in which case the book would get the grade hit but get whatever other label it is qualified for. So if you have an unwitnessed signature then get a witnessed signature on the same book, you could get a Yellow/Green for a higher grade, or request not to get a green and you’ll get a full yellow label with a slightly lower grade. |

Quote:Originally Posted by dielinfinite My book has a green label due to the unwitnessed McFarlane signature on it. Its grade is 9.4. I'd rather not have it knocked down to get a yellow green label. The signature on it is real and I don't have any plans on selling it. So, I guess I'll keep it the way that it is and save the coinage for something else. |

| If you get a yellow/green the grade should not fall. If you want a full yellow label then it would | ||

| It is incredible the amount of chaos that the industry self imposes on itself with respect to autographs. Yellow, Green, Red, not interchangeable between companies, 1st page maybe grade knockdown, cover definite grade knockdown, grade knockdowns not on back cover. This autograph system is a total mess if I've ever seen one.... and yet the answer for it eludes me. |

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

Quote:Originally Posted by Nuffsaid111 Not entirely true. If an authorized CBCS witness cracks your CGC yellow slab to add more signatures to the book CBCS will give you a yellow label including the CGC witnessed signatures. Of course the grade will be re-evaluated so no guarantees on keeping your 9.8 grade. |

| I kinda regret getting my Silver and Gold Spawn 300 signed at NYCC now. Then again rules say no parody covers, so i asked as we know the silver and gold are like ASM will he sign them. They told me we don't know. I asked for if i send and he doesn't sign, what happens? They said Just Use Your Best Judgement, i asked can someone call Todd or his agent and ask and they said NO. | ||

| I think he doesnt sign the thanks because it was a free book for retailers and he didn't want it to be a collectors item ( don't know how he expected that tough .. it's one of the coolest spawn covers I own ) I believe he doesn't sign the recent marvel remastered because I don't think he approved the use of the art, nor received commission , because marvel owns it from when he used to work there ( i.e. the reason why he created image in the first place ) So don't see why he wouldn't sign the silver and gold 300 .. especially since he signed them freely at nycc |

Quote:Originally Posted by Wraith I agree on the Thank You cover, i wrote a similar thing to someone on Facebook asking why he won't sign and showed off their cover with bunch of signatures. As the might be considered a "parody" cover is why I question. I agree about signing at NYCC as that is where I got them signed. However maybe different rules when signing at CGC event as will be considered a yellow label |

| After filling out my submission and carefully reading everything I think the Spawn foils are fine. When they say parody books,I think it means that he will not sign other creators/books where they do a homage/parody cover of McFarlane's work. The do you pooh or whatever they are called books come to mind as well as the countless Incredible Hulk 340 homage covers. Your Spawn 300 foils (which CBCS lists as a 2nd printing) should be fine as they are no different than Todd's Spawn 300 Cover J cover which was the ASM 300 homage. |

| Also some more info regarding sending graded and having them crack slabs, as mentioned they will do it for a $5 extra fee HOWEVER this may be a "BIG" deal for some..... They will also not honor the grade automatically once slab is cracked. This means they will send the book for regrading again, so your grade may change. Thought I would share in case anyone else was wondering. |

| @hitmantyler No reputable grading company honors a grade once the slab has been opened. The book may come back with the same grade but both CBCS and CGC will always regrade a book that has been cracked, even if it is in their own slab | ||

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

Quote:Originally Posted by hitmantyler They would have mentioned it similar to the Spawn Thank You book, which was a retailer exclusive. Even at his free signings they check to make sure you dont have a retailer badge. It is however impossible to list every homage/parody book not done by Todd. ASM 300 swipes are a dime a dozen. Full disclosure, I am sending off a gold, silver, and both Alamo signing event books he did for 301. |
