How much does cgc charge for grading

I would love to help, but I can't figure out their cost. I send mine to indy to get graded, evidently you can grab em at a convention and pay them there.. And on the 6th thursday of every month its free? Originally Posted by kyleg Or maybe its just us.. I got so confused on Desert Winds site. I called em about getting graded and signed and cost.

It should just be a flat rate. I know Indy said they are just now getting to comics sent last Sept.. He does Quick turnaround.. I would ask Indy. There are other tiers depending on how much your comic is worth and how fast you want them graded.

Pretty much what John said. When I send in books for guys here, I can do that because I am a member and am allowed to submit books through my account. I fear my Spider-Man I have in with them might cost me a little more should it grade high. I always thought the "value" of the comic was determined at a "pre-graded" value.

Also at conventions you don't have to have a cgc account to turn in comics to get graded. The advantage of being a cgc member means you can track your submission and you get a slight discount.

When the books arrived, I inspected them carefully and to they all looked to be in 9. Feeling confident that was the case I sent all three to CGC for grading. When the books came back to me however, only two were graded 9.

The two 9. Not too shabby! However the 9. So for that one, I essentially made my money back on the cost of the raw comic plus grading, but in reality I actually lost money on it after taking account for shipping, handling and payment processing fees.

The lesson here is be careful — when it comes to many comics — the difference between a 9. The CGC holder is made from high-quality materials and is entirely archival-safe. The inner well that holds books, for example, is comprised of PETG, a plastic that is well known to be archival-safe and extremely clear.

This PETG well is placed inside of a durable outer case that is sonically welded to ensure a secure, tamper-evident seal. I go CBCS all the way now Most of their employees seem soulless lately, unfortunately. They just receive the corporate wip. Keep in mind, just my humble opinion. I also know of pressers such as Avery Comic Pressing who will submit your books under their dealer account so you can save a lot of money using him. Josh Avery provides a great service.

He also can provide his CBCS dealer account to submit your books. I just assume they are just not that interested in the small customer submitting a few books. It's probably not a very profitable business. Small submissions still have to go through a lot of processing and handling. I'm currently taking a journey into mystery in an effort to open my own online comic book shop. Skip to content. Tags: cgc comic books comic collecting.
