Ryan King Posted June 7, 2022 Report Share Posted June 7, 2022 If the card that I am submitting to get graded has a manufacturers autograph and is already guaranteed by the manufacturer, do I have to pay for the autograph to get certified when submitting to get graded?

To answer the question, honestly, I'm not sure. I always pay the fee, because it's $2, but maybe you can just not get the auto grade. Hopefully someone from CSG sees your question. Ryan?

Matthew_Natale Posted June 7, 2022 Report Share Posted June 7, 2022 (edited) CSG does not certify autographs, and only grades pack pulled autographs like Panini Prizm. If I got the same Prizm card personally signed, CSG would not accept it. They only grade pack pulled autos and that's what you're paying $2 for the auto grade.

Matthew_Natale Posted June 7, 2022 Report Share Posted June 7, 2022 And no you do not have to have the autograph graded. Your choice. If you're paying $14 or $16 or more already, why not pay the extra $2, unless it's a bad smudged or smeared auto? Just my $.02. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, all manufacturer autos (pack-pulled) must have the auto graded. CSG does not grade in-person autographs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
