Cross company witnessed signatures22001

Collector GIJFan123 private msg quote post Address this user
I'm fairly certain of the answer, but I'll ask.

How to cross company witnessed signatures work? I understand if it is only verified by CBCS or CGC that they cant confirm someone else's work.

But if a signature is actually witnessed, will the other honor that?

Thx

CBCS used to but stopped. CGC never did.

All authenticity would need to be verified by CBCS regardless of who, when, or what. Then would receive a new CBCS cert and graded.

I know CBCS stopped honoring CGC witnessed signatures when CGC introduced their sealed baggies at shows instead of having them held by an AW until submitted but CBCS restarted honoring CGC witnessed signatures not long after.

Did CBCS stop honoring CGC signatures for good at some point that I missed?

@dielinfinite thanks. I heard that CBCS does cross honor, but CGC does not.

About a year ago I sent in an X-Men Annual 6 with a witnessed Sienkiewicz signature graded by the cgc for a press and CBCS regrade. I was charged a $25 verification fee. I asked about the fee and was told that CBCS no longer honors signatures witnessed by the cgc. They now have to be verified.

Swapgate was the final nail in the coffin, I believe. Once it became public how simple it was to tamper with CGC slabs, accepting anything CGC at face value became impossible.

@James42 I didn't think of that, but makes a lot of sense. Thx

From my understanding any signatures from 2019 and beyond from CGC have to be verified due to the changes from CGC's witnessing process during signings.

Mine was witnessed and graded in 2007. It still had to be verified. All cross company witnessed or verified signatures not previously authenticated by Beckett now have to verified.

Damn that’s unfortunate, I was going off of an old Facebook post from several years ago. They must of went back on that decision some time ago.

@DrWatson did you get it pressed between CGC and CBCS?

I really wanted it to come back a 9.8, but I can't complain. The book looks great, and at the end of the day, that counts more than the numerical grade.

Can't really blame them. Why base your reputation on the reputation of a company that's going hell for leather own ruining their own.
