Verified Signature Program
Verified Signature Program
When CBCS launched its Verified Signature Program it took the industry by storm. Finally, collectors had a way to authenticate the unwitnessed autographs they had in their collection, removing the doubt and uncertainty as to the validity for the signatures.
CBCS Verified Signatures are designated on our Yellow Signature label as a Verified Signature. Any signatures that are on the book that have been witnesses according to the guidelines of our Authentic Signature Program will be listed as Witnessed Signatures along with the date the signature was added to the book.
Call to action
Our customers asked CBCS for a way to validate unwitnessed signatures on comic books, sketch covers, and original art, and we responded. The Verified Signature Program is a CBCS exclusive service that authenticates unwitnessed signatures that have been obtained by collectors over the years.
For as long as there have been comic book conventions and long before grading companies existed, fans have been getting their comic books signed by artists and writers.
Legitimacy
These comics go on to become prized possessions for the original owner of the comic, but like all unwitnessed signatures, the question other collectors ask is "How do I know" the signature is authentic?
CBCS solves that problem! The VSP service allows the owners of these unwitnessed signatures on comic books, sketch covers and original art to have the signatures certified as authentic. Those collectors wishing to authenticate signatures on comic books, will have them graded without penalty or qualified labels.
Security
Because the item with the VSP authenticated signature has been encapsulated with the CBCS’s distinctive yellow label, the signature and the "authentication" cannot be separated. Unlike certificates that are at risk of being transferred to another item, the VSP offers the security that the authenticated signature that is on the label is forever tied to the signature on the item.
As a result, the VSP helps to remove the doubt and uncertainty from the minds of collectors, increasing the value of the book.
