| I bought some books off ebay that are graded by another company who's name i wont mention awhile ago anyways they are autographed by some cast members of the Walking Dead i was wondering do i leave them alone or submit them to CBCS to be redone | ||

| You can mention names. If it's a CGC yellow label then CBCS will honor the label if you send it in sealed. If this is PGX then you'd have to go with Verification for the red label. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by DarthLegothey are PGX so in your opinion how much do you trust PGX's authentication of autographs and would it be worth having them redone by CBCS |

| First off I would compare them to known signatures and make sure they are at least consistent to my untrained eye. If any doubt existed I would not hesitate to send them to CBCS. If however they look authentic it depends on how much you hate the PGX slab and if they are keepers or sellers. If sellers, CBCS VSP will maximize profits. If keeping then it's personal preferences. | ||

| So PGX won't guarantee the authentication of a witnessed sig?? Well I guess that if that's the case that says a lot about PGX. | ||

| @Sirtoddington PGX guarantees what they do. CBCS doesn't guarantee what PGX does. But CBCS will guarantee what CGC does. But CGC won't guarantee either CBCS or PGX. | ||

| You also need to look at is the book worth the cost of VSP, it's $25 fee plus grading fees. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by DarthLegoRIGHT!?? Seriously.... PGX aside if a CBCS or CGC has a yellow label that should guarantee a yellow label across the boards. CBCS I know does with CGC but is it because CGC see's CBCS as a threat 7 that's just a form of their "retaliation?" |

| I believe CGC won't recognize CBCS out of pure spite. Like the CGC guy who told a forum member here "whatever, good luck with that." when he didn't want CGC to grade it and said he was going with CBCS. | ||

| I believe PGX has too much bad baggage to ever be seen as legitimate in the eyes of CGC or CBCS. There's too much down side risk from a legal standpoint. | ||

| Step one, look on eBay for other signed books by the person that are in CGC or CBCS slabs, do an advanced search for sold listings as well. Also look at signed photo listings that have COAs and compare those too. Lastly resort to a brute force Google image search. | ||

| If money is not an issue, personally I would just have CBCS VSP them. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by DarthLegomoney is technicaly not an issue it's just that i would hate to find out the sig's are fake but then i guess the only one to find out is by sending them into CBCS |

| On the up side, Walking Dead books would probably look killer in red CBCS labels. | ||
