Newbie question: PGX to CBCS14908

You'd still have to pay the additional $25 per signature after this, but I think it may be worth it to at least have the check Stan's before mailing anything in.

@Bigw00ddaddy As others have mentioned, all you do is enter the book as a regular submission. You don’t do anything different due to it being in a competitor’s case.

When submitting you will probably want to do signature verification since CBCS does not honor witnessed signatures from PGX. In addition to the grading fees you would need to pay $25 to verify the first signature and another $15 to verify the second.

As others have said, Stan Lee’s signature is somewhat hit and miss with verification. You could use Beckett’s signature review but even if they say the signature is likely to pass doesn’t guarantee that it will. Additionally, a signature failing verification does not necessarily mean that it is fake, only that it could not be Verified.

If you do not wish to pay the additional fees for verification for one or both signatures just be aware that the grade will be hit due to the signatures counting as writing on the book.
