Well of course it’s all about money…money is the name of the grading game.
If they did it for McFarlane, they’ll do it for others.
…and folks will pay for this, absolutely will consider it a bonus.
Hell of a play by McFarlane…like him or not…he knows how to make that cash.

it just seems like a coa that cgc is letting count as a witness thing, whereas other grading companies are already doing that
Pretty genius marketing ploy for both CGC and Todd. I’m impressed.

CGC: “We only give the signature series to books we witness.”
Also CGC: “Hey everyone, Todd cut a deal with us so you want to get your book slabbed with the yellow seal without having to take it to him?”
No shade at Todd, get that money.

The whooooooooooooooooooole kit and kaboodle from beginning to end with grading, is one big, giant, immense ponzi scheme that everyone buys into. And until folks start losing money, it will continue to be a ponzi scheme.

Jay Z dont think so…
If you read CGC’s official information about the signing, they say they will be having an authorized witness with Todd as he signs the books The COA that’s included is supposed to be the proof that the signature was witnessed and why they want it to be submitted along with the book. According to CGC, it will be impossible to duplicate/fake the COA.

Where to buy it?
I saw that now. Odd. It’s still just weird to me. Why not just encapsulate it then if it has a CGC witness? The whole thing is confusing.
I would imagine that the certificate would only be valid if there is a CGC rep witnessing the signing by Todd. If so, not sure how much such a process would help at a con.
If you guys are just interested in a Todd signature for the PC, this would be a cheap(er) option:
-Road to 300 print 16/250
-Road to 300 print 195/250
There’s also his guaranteed signed variant for spending $200 at his new toy store this week:
