The grading process
Grading is like a super scan for your collectibles. Whether it's cards, Funko POPs, video games or other treasures, experts at renowned companies like CGC, PSA or Beckett look at every detail. They rate it on a scale of 1 to 10 - like a health check for your collection. And after the assessment? The grading companies pack your piece securely so it stays protected and its value is preserved.
map grading
Think of grading your cards like a talent show, where each card performs and gets its points. The experts at CGC are the jury that evaluates every little detail. At the end, you not only get a number, but also the certainty of how great your card really is.
Funko POP! Figure Grading
Grading gives your Funko POP! figures their moment in the spotlight. It's like stepping onto a stage and getting a rating for their performance. The best part? Afterward, they're sent 'home' in a protective capsule, where they'll stay safe and valuable.
Video Game Grading
Grading your video games tells their life story. It shows how well they have survived the years and gives them official recognition for their condition, like a trophy they get for their quality and rarity.
Beckett Authentication & Encapsulation
With the Beckett service, your collectible is examined closely. It's like having it checked by a detective who says at the end: "Yes, this is real and here is its value." And then? Your treasure is kept safe, almost like in a safe.
Care tips before grading
Before your collectibles go for grading, make sure they are in the best condition. How? It's simple: use our cleaning & pressing service . We keep them clean and protect them from harsh environments. Just like you wash and polish a car before you sell it, we prepare your treasures for their evaluation. Here are a few more tips for collectors:
For cards: A soft brush can work wonders to remove dust without damaging the card.
For Funko POPs: A gentle cloth will keep them sparkling clean, and a safe place away from sunlight will keep them shining.
For video games: We keep them cool and dry, and touch the game media as little as possible to keep it pristine.
For Beckett collectibles: Pack them carefully as if you were sending a precious gift to ensure they arrive intact.
The grading scale explained
If you've ever wondered what the numbers on the grading scale really mean, here's a simple explanation: This scale is like the grading system in school for your collectibles. It ranges from 1 to 10 and gives you and everyone else a clear insight into the condition of your treasure.
The official grading guide from CGC provides even more detailed insights!
This evaluation will help you understand the condition of your collector's item and also better estimate its value. As in many areas of life, quality makes a big difference here too.
10 – Perfection
A 10 is like the gold medal in grading - your collectible is in absolutely pristine condition, with no scratches, dents or other defects. It's as if time had stopped at the exact moment the piece was made.
6 to 9 – Very good to excellent
This range indicates that your piece is in very good condition, but may have a few minor imperfections. For example, a 9 might mean minimal wear that is barely noticeable, while a 6 indicates more visible signs of wear.
1 to 5 – Fair to Good
Here we are in an area where the collectibles show clear signs of wear. A 5 might show light scratches or wear, while a 1 means the piece has significant flaws.

Dominic H.
Unfortunately, I can only give 5 stars. I sent a comic in for grading. Everything went perfectly from start to finish, I got an immediate answer to any questions! My graded comic arrived yesterday...9.8, what can I say 🤩 I can 100% recommend Comic King to everyone 👌👌👌
Jost F.
I am most enthusiastic about ComicKing's grading service! These two comics arrived today - after only 6 weeks since sending my comics to ComicKing. I am very impressed with the result. I will be submitting some more of my comics for CGC grading. Thanks, Niklas & Co. Nuff said!
Phillip H.
I had two magazines sent to CGC via ComicKing and I am more than satisfied. My questions were answered very quickly beforehand and I was helped with my problem. I sent the magazines to ComicKing and from then on I didn't have to worry about anything else, the processing and everything around it was super relaxed.

What is our service?
Your comics will be cleaned and pressed by experts. This process improves the condition of the comic and brings out the maximum potential of your comic! We take care of the cleaning and pressing. Having treated thousands of issues, we have built up extensive expertise and know exactly how to treat a comic.
Duration of cleaning & pressing: 2 weeks
Our offer includes the following points:
- A light cleaning, also known as a "dry clean", is done to clean the surface of the comic and remove dust and other residue.
- Dents are removed to eliminate unevenness in the comic.
- A heat pressing is performed to remove any "pressable" defects such as creases or folds and return the comic to its original condition.
- A cold pressing is done to prevent the comic from returning to a previous wrinkled state.
- Disclaimer: We cannot guarantee that no new defects will appear during cleaning. This is especially true for older magazines.
Additional service:
- HOP treatment: Here, dirt is removed from the cover of the comic using the HOP process. This includes a comprehensive treatment with special solvents and pressing techniques.
- Premium cleaning (HOP+UV treatment): Here, dirt is removed from the cover of the comic using the HOP process. This includes comprehensive treatment with special solvents and pressing techniques. The comic is also treated with UV. Yellowed pages are treated with a special lamp so that the original white color appears again. (Regular cleaning is included in the premium cleaning)
This is what cleaning & pressing can do:
- Removal of bends, wrinkles and other imperfections
- The value of the comic is increased
- Not all damage can be repaired (e.g. paint breaks)
A notice:
It is not possible to press comics with a foil cover such as Venom: Lethal Protector, as the cover could melt at the high temperature. The comics must also not be too fragile or brittle, as the cleaning process cannot be carried out effectively if the material is too damaged. If the value of the comic exceeds 1000€, an individual price calculation is required.
Comic grading is the name given to the process of determining the condition of a comic. Comics can be graded by grading companies such as CGC or CBCS. A comic can reach a state of 0.5 -10.0. There are various parameters that can be used to reliably determine the condition of a comic.
