Polybag removal for submission? 1 1

[Rebecca Peery]

Just a question for submitting comics to CGC.

Do I need to remove the bag before submitting?  or   Will the bag be taken off before grading?

Thank you!

Good morning,

Thanks for your message. CGC does not certify books that are sealed in a manufacturer's poly-bag. To have a poly-bagged book certified by CGC, you must either remove the book from its poly-bag or send written approval authorizing CGC to remove it. The words “Poly-bag removed” will appear in the key comments section on the CGC label.

The label will not specify if any loose item was in the poly-bag with the comic. When the comic graders remove items from a poly-bagged comic, the items are returned to the submitter in a separate mylar/bag and board.

Thank you!

Hi, I just became a member and have already made a few errors. If I sent a book in a Sealed poly-bag, How do I now contact CGC to give written approval to open the poly bag so the book can be graded.Thank you.
