CGC x JSA Autograph Authentication Submission Instructions

When purchasing your autograph or photo op with your favorite celebrity through select shows and events, you have the option to add on JSA authentication or JSA witnessing services. Here's what to do for each option:

If You Choose JSA Authentication:

1. Get Your Item Signed: At your scheduled time, meet your chosen celebrity and have your item signed.
2. Visit the JSA Booth: Afterward, at your convenience, take your signed item to the JSA booth.
3. Authentication Process: The JSA team will authenticate your item's signature and apply a JSA certification sticker.

If You Choose JSA Witnessed Authentication:

1. Find a Red-shirted Witness: Before getting your item signed, locate a JSA representative wearing a red shirt in the autograph area.
2. Inform the Witness: Let them know you're about to have your item signed. They will accompany you to observe the signing.
3. Post-signing Procedure: After witnessing the signature, the representative will either:
   • Place your item in a tamper-evident security bag, or
   • Escort you directly to the JSA booth to maintain the chain of custody.
4. Final Authentication: If your item was bagged, you have until the end of the show to visit the JSA booth. There, they will open the bag and apply the JSA Witnessed certification sticker to your collectible.

*If the tamper-evident security bag is opened, the witnessed authentication is void.
