Paid Member Just to Submit One Comic for Grading? 0

[Fireice989]

Hey guys, I got a very noob question. I have a comic book that I want to send to CGC to get sealed and graded but their site is telling me I have to become a paid member before I can process a submission? This doesn't make sense to me because there are already fees in place for every submission, why do I need to pay for a membership on top of this? I get video games sealed and graded all the time with VGA and you don't have to be a member for that. I see the cheapest plan to be a paid member is $25 by being an associate but is this a one-time fee for a monthly fee? The paid membership seems like a money-grabber. Can someone explain this to me? I only need to get this one book graded and it's unlikely I'll ever need to grade anything else.

Go to your local comic shop and ask do they submit books to CGC,if they do, they will do it for you for a fee.

Thanks. I see that it's an annual fee so I will just go ahead and buy the associate membership.

CGC is a reputable brand unlike VGA.

Membership fees are collected annually.
