Does CGC Grade Adult Content? 0

[Friend Kaiser]

Apologies in advanced but I did my best to try and find an answer before asking:

I'm pretty distant to the world of traditional comics, but I do own a lot of non-traditional adult western comics and doujinshi (Translated and not) that I like the idea of getting graded for my own personal collection. 
As long as they fit within the acceptable size parameters (10-1/2" tall x 7-5/8" wide x 1/4" thick), will CGC grade them? Or does CGC only grade from options included in their database?

Thank you for your assistance.

I’d contact them directly and ask about your specific situation

CGC does generally grade adult material. In any case, they certainly aren't limited to books currently in their database (which is really just books they're already graded at least 1 copy of). I know I've added quite a few to that list over the years. However, at their discretion, they will not grade comics with some level of explicit cover content.

Contacting them to inquire is probably not a bad idea.

As a rule of thumb they will grade comics with some level of tasteful nudity (boobs) on the cover but not anything one might consider pornographic (penetration including, but not limited to, fisting).

uhh...that's an oddly specific example...

well they will grade Iron Fist but I don’t think any issues of Power Man and Iron Fist #69 appear on the census

Generally, yes, but I'd recommend emailing them to be certain.
