| I had a Stan Lee signature returned as "Signature Unverifiable by BAS". Upon investigation, it seems that most grading companies have now stopped authenticating un-witnessed Stan Lee signatures since his passing. Does anyone have recent experience with an un-witnessed Stan Lee being verified?? | ||

| It just means that one was “unverifiable”- I’ve had plenty verified by them- prolly about a 70% success rate… but 30% or so have been unverifiable. So 7 out of my last 10- passed. You can also pay $10 and do a quick check- takes 24 to 48 hours… but can save you a lot of time and more money cost “unverified” for a submission in to them- (about $25 lost if not passing)- of course the quick check is not a full verification but it is a good indicator and has helped my success rate I think overall- You also can check books on auction before you even buy them- I do that often as well- |

| If I do the quick check before-hand - do you know if BAS will honor the results if I then send in a comic for encapsulation? | ||

| @earthprime no the quick check is not full verification (but I would print it out and include with it - can’t hurt)- it is the same “Beckett” giving the quick check results that is doing the full verification later for CBCS- Also if they CAN’T tell you “likely” verifiable or “unlikely” verifiable and it comes back “indeterminable” they will refund your $10 |

| @radd76 is correct. While sending a signature in for verification by BAS will greatly enhance the likelihood that a signature will later be verified by CBCS (assuming BAS verified it), it's a quick check as opposed to a thorough examination by an expert. Some signatures, notably Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, have a high rate of rejection. It's always a good idea to pay BAS the whopping $10 to get the best outcome possible. |

 Hmm... Moderated again!

| I have three Stan signatures that I collected myself at shows in the 80's and 90's. BAS found them all unverifiable. Super frustrating but what can you do? | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by figment That's really too bad. I'm sorry your signatures - that you know are good - can't be verified. There are all kinds of reasons why that happens, though. Like if a person develops a tremor with age, has to switch hands because of a stroke or injury, or when someone else starts signing things for them on the sly (which is the case with some Kirby 'signatures'). |

 Feel free to use my post as a checklist.

| You can also send it in to PSA DNA, or James Spence Authentication in Ft Lauderdale. They wont slab it but they can authenticate it. |

| I got a SS #3 with a Stan signature verified pretty recently. So they are definitely still doing it. But I have heard that it is one of the hardest signatures to verify now. | ||
