I got a comic signed, and if the signing you are going to is like the one I was at the grading people will be right next to him, if you walk away without getting it graded, that signature is essentially non existent because their thought is you could forge it and keep the real one and try to sell the one you forged.

So they take it from you, seal it up in that plastic case, and now it's verified that he signed it forever. They may sell a little post card thing for 5 bucks, that is. Certificate of authenticity that he signed it, but that's a waste of 5 bucks, because again, they can't ever prove that what he signed is his actual signature unless they took it and seal it up.

I didn't want to pay the 60 bucks for it, but I also never imagined I'd get his signature again so I figured I'd do it right the first time.

And as far as having ferrigno sign it, once it's sealed up and graded, you'll have to get it un sealed by a rep from cgi at a future signing that he and cgi will be at, or they may offer to take it to him and have it signed by him (not sure if they do because he's not exactly a comic book guy, he just happened to play the hulk) but that's the only way to do it if you want the signature to be authenticated.
