CBCS Signature VSPQuestions

CBCS Signature verification and original certificates15386

Collector RUBYROB private msg quote post Address this user
I'm thinking of doing my first cbcs submission and want to include a signed book. It has 3 signatures and its own certificate of authenticity. (Wizard magazine, remember those??)

My question is, the heck do I do with the certificate? Do I send it in along with the book? Would it get encapsulated with the comic? If not, would it be mailed back?

You can send in with the book but they say Beckett/CBCS VSP does not use them so really your choice- but verify only in the signature.

They’ve returned any I send in (in a polybag).

They will NOT slab COA certificates.

What @radd76 said.

The COAs that I have are not sent in. I put them in the bag with the slab upon their return.

Just throw them COAs into your memory box.

@RUBYROB @comicsforme @monjoody Yes basically the label becomes your “COA” - authentic or verified…

I like to keep my COA’s some of them are pretty cool like the art from the cover many times- and you’d be surprised at how many people “seek” a low number COA OR get mad if you lost the COA.

I actually had a slabbed book I sold and I totally forgot it came with a COA- the guy was like “WHERE IS MY COA!!!”…. Luckily I had them and he wanted a low COA number (I had like #7 of 300 so he was very happy lol.

Those are the only COAs that I have right now; numbered edition ones.

But even then it becomes suspect. What's to stop someone from sending in 5 copies of an issue with numbered COAs, and then assigning the lowest number to the highest grade?

Yeah it really doesn’t mean a whole lot- but the person would have to have 5 to do that- not just one-

Also that BANANA WOLVERINE (John Tyler Christopher)- actually has the COA as the back cover so it is actually a COA in a slab lol!!

I have a comic signed by 10+ including Stan Lee and Kevin Smith. My question is, can I have VSP done on 2 of the signatures and then have it stabbed or would I have to have them all verified?

You don’t have to do all of them but the unverified signatures will affect the grade

@Bobashek @dielinfinite

VSP is $25 first sig then $15 each additional so at least you take full advantage of that price break!- so ($160) for all verified- but if it’s got names like that you’d want to just go all out I would think - love those labels that are packed full lol-

Feel sorry for the guy entering these in trying to fit them on the label haha-

And ensuring the names are all spelled correctly. IE. Tom Sniegoski or Jimmy Palmiotti.
