Why Grade a Comic?

I have always had a love for comics since I was a little kid and I always kept my comics in excellent condition. Took pride in bagging them and ensure all of them had backboards even at a young age. I remember my first comics - Thor, Avengers, Spider-man and of course my Green Lantern. Back then comics provided a doorway to another world were a child could escape and be amazed at these wonderful heroes and their monthly adventures. Great times and wonderful memories, especially with parents who enjoyed and encouraged me reading even if it was just a comic.

When I first heard of CGC I wasn't a big fun mostly because I didn't understand the need for grading comics, but I understand now that there is a need for CGC. The need is not just for collections but the need to preserve these wonderful memories maintained in pages of comics. Ensuring these memories do not end up destroyed with time and preserving them hopefully for generations to come.

I still love reading comics and I will always enjoy the touch of the paper while reading new and old comics, but CGC is needed and hopefully a standard for true collectors for a long time to come.
