CGC Grading Service Economy (Before 1975)
We send your comics to CGC, the largest grading company in the world. CGC is known worldwide and is recognized by every comic collector when selling. The condition of your comic is rated from 0.5 - 10.0. The comic is then encapsulated to secure the condition, making it an optimal investment. In addition, you can purchase cleaning & pressing in addition to the grading. Your comics are then cleaned and pressed by experts. This process improves the condition of the comic and you can achieve a better rating in the CGC grading. More information about pressing & cleaning✅

What is Pressing & Cleaning?
We take care of cleaning and pressing. Having treated thousands of issues, we have built up extensive expertise and know exactly how to treat a comic. With comics, cleaning and pressing is particularly useful and often essential. Cleaning removes residue, fingerprints and dirt that can accumulate over the years, thus preserving the brilliance and clarity of the pages. Pressing, on the other hand, corrects minor imperfections such as creases or curls in the paper that can arise from storage or handling. This not only improves the appearance and reading experience, but can also significantly increase the value of the comic for collectors and the resale market. It is an essential step for anyone who wants to ensure the optimal condition and longevity of their comic collection.
Cleaning & pressing can increase the grading rating.

Why a comic cleaning?
Mishandling and exposure to the elements can cause comics to suffer from creases, folds, tears, missing pieces, stains, and browning. Unwanted repairs - such as paint stains, glue, and tape - can also lower a comic book's rating. A comic book cleaner specializes in correcting or removing these defects and repairs to improve a comic's appearance and condition.
