This is now being referred to as 'Smudgegate'.

Friend of the channel, Manu the 9.9 Newsstand has made some observations over the past couple of days. Hes found a CGC submission of 10 comics that have been sent for JSA authentication. They're all Stan Lee signed Amazing Spiderman 252 Newsstands. But the signatures on them are very smudged. These are very expensive comics. Are these signatures legitimate?

Check out Manu's post on instagram from his account here:

I'm sure there is some crazy story behind all this. What do you think?

*Shoutout to Mickey from Swagglehaus Comics for coining the term ‘Smudgegate’*
