WHAT KIND OF COMICS SHOULD I SUBMIT TO CGC?Ĭomics I’m considering sending to CGC to be graded. Then there’s the obvious reason of having your comics sealed in a slab will help preserve their condition for the long haul. So if you have ambitions to make a few dollars off your comics by selling them, then having them graded could be a good way to increase your ROI on the sale of your comics. For example, Werewolf by Night #32 ( first appearance of Moon Knight) graded by CGC in 6.5 FN+ condition has a fair market value of $2,500, whereas its raw value is around $1,700. Of course there’s also the fact that graded comics can (not always) hold higher values than their raw counterparts.
As a comic collector, I enjoy the look of slabbed comics, use them liberally as decorations in my man cave and they’re great conversation starters with those uninitiated in comic collecting. There are various reasons why you might want to have your comics graded by an independent third party. WHY SHOULD I HAVE MY COMICS GRADED BY CGC? So for the rest of this post, I’ll be sharing everything you need to know about submitting your comic books to CGC.
And either my prayers were answered ( highly unlikely) or I was just really determined ( more than likely), but it all finally clicked ( no pun intended)!Īnd guess what? It turns out the process of submitting your comics to be graded by CGC is a lot easier than you might think. Taking a deep breath and saying a prayer to Odin, I went back to CGC’s website to finally figure this whole thing out. I knew that if I was going to make my dream a reality, I would have to start shipping raw comics to be graded to build my inventory more effectively. At that point, I decided that if I wanted a CGC graded comic, I would just buy one online because the time and effort involved just didn’t seem worth it to meįast forward a few years and I started obsessing over the idea of starting my own online comic book shop that dealt only in certified graded comics. So being curios, I went to CGC’s website and looked into the process for submitting my comics for grading, and within seconds I promptly closed my browser window because it all just felt too convoluted.
