| THE CGC RETURNS TO FLORIDA SUPERCON |
Getting comic books signed by creators has been a part of our hobby since early fandom. But signature authentication is a tricky venture. Photographs and videotapes are fine methods, but are not foolproof. Certificates of Authenticity (COA), although accepted in our hobby, are definitely not foolproof either. There have always been concerns surrounding signature authentication and verification. Now there is a solution! |
