CGC/JSA SIGNATURE AUTHENTICATION

Already signed? Get it authenticated & graded

If you already own a signed comic, magazine or card, we verify the signature through JSA, then clean, press, CGC-grade and encapsulate it with the famous gold Signature Series label.

How it works

1

Send your signed item

Your already-signed comic or collectible comes to us.

2

JSA authentication

The signature is verified by JSA, the trusted authority.

3

Cleaned, pressed & graded

We maximise the grade and submit to CGC.

4

Gold label & returned

Encapsulated with the CGC Signature Series gold label and posted back.

CLEAN & PRESS — YOUR CHOICE

With or without cleaning & pressing

JSA authentication is our one service where cleaning & pressing is optional. Pressing before grading gives your book the best possible chance at a higher grade, so most collectors choose it — but if you’d rather we grade your item exactly as it is, choose grading only.

  • Clean, press & grade — maximises the grade before it’s sealed
  • Grading only — your item graded exactly as it comes
  • Either way, JSA authentication is +£32 per signature
