An Independent CGC Signature Series Service Provider

CGC

Certified Guaranty Company (CGC) was founded in 1999 as the first independent, impartial, expert third-party grading service. Since then, CGC has expanded into authorized witnessed signatures for photos and grading and encapsulation of magazines. As an independent member of the Certified Collectibles Group (CCG) — an umbrella company comprised of the world's leading companies dedicated to certifying, grading and encapsulating collectibles — CGC is dedicated to grading collectibles with integrity, accuracy, consistency and impartiality. Other companies under CCG include Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), the leading grading service in rare coins, and Paper Money Guaranty (PMG), the leading currency certification service.

Certified Guaranty Company (CGC), the leader in professional comic book, magazine and photograph certification, pioneered witnessed signature authentication when it introduced CGC Signature Series — a certification service that assures signatures are 100% authentic.

 

Whether you’re seeking an autograph for a comic book, celebrity photo or magazine, we guarantee authenticity. All collectibles certified with the prestigious CGC Signature Series label have been signed in the presence of a CGC representative, then submitted for CGC certification. The end result is an expertly described, encapsulated collectible with a guaranteed authentic signature for your collection.

 

All of the materials used by CGC are tamper-evident and extensively tested to ensure long-term protection for your autographed memorabilia. Each holder is transparent, to ensure maximum visibility for years to come, and archival-safe, to protect your autographed memorabilia from liquids, gases and improper handling. Our Signature Series label includes security features such as an official hologram seal and a unique serial number. Furthermore, each holder can be safely opened without causing any damage to the encased collectible.

 

Comics

Collectors can have their comic books signed by their favorite creators in the presence of an exclusive CGC authorized witness. CGC then authenticates, grades and certifies the books, applying the CGC Signature Series label, indicating who signed the book, the date it was signed, and in some cases, the location of where it was signed.

Restored comic books are also eligible for the CGC Signature Series label, though the label differs slightly to reflect the restored comic book’s characteristics.
