Thank you all for your advice / guidance. I mainly collect cards (sports and non-sports), so I am very familiar with grading cards ... grading cost versus end value. As Bax777 pointed out, I spend 99% of my time looking through the SOLD auctions on eBay. The hard part about researching the comic books was that (a) there were not a ton of graded comics SOLD and (b) the modern graded comics were mostly in the 9.2 to 9.8 range. I did not want to assume that most - or any - of mine would grade out at those levels, but based on the criteria that I read on the CGC grading page, I think that several or many will.
With that said, I may have some confusion on CGC's pricing. If I am reading their schedule correct, their base fee for grading a modern comic book is $20. I see that there are additional fees for screening, pressing and restoration, which all seem to be based on the book's FMV. Are there any other fees that I am missing? Also, is it safe to assume that the additional services would probably not be a good investment for these modern comics?
Thank you again for all of your help.
