CGC is the industry leader in professional comic book certification and has pioneered its well respected Signature Series program, a certification service that assures the signature on a collectible is 100% authentic. The foundation of CGC’s Signature Series program is the authorized CGC Witness. At comic cons or other authorized events, a CGC Witness will personally observe the signature(s) in real time as they are applied live by the signer. Once the witnessed signature(s) are obtained, the collectible can then be submitted to CGC for grading and certification with CGC’s prestigious Signature Series label.
