Attention: For signed comics, use the CBCS grading service , which includes authentication of signatures on the comic. CGC does not offer this.
Grading your comics can significantly increase their value, especially if you plan to sell them or save them for your collection. With a professional grading from CGC:
- Authenticity: Each graded comic comes with a certificate of authenticity confirming its authenticity and quality.
- Protection: By encapsulating the comic, it is protected from environmental influences and damage.
- Increase in value: A higher condition grade can significantly increase the market value of your comic.

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.

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 👌👌👌
Philipp 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.
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!
