Rayzor13 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I thought I remember seeing that CGC would pull out posters, etc included with a comic before grading, but I’ve since seen a copy of Spawn #1 that was green labeled as incomplete because it didn’t have the poster. Can someone clarify this for me? If I submit a copy the book mentioned in the title, do I pull the poster or not? Maybe the difference is that the poster was in the poly bag and not actually inside the book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walclark Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I just subbed a copy of that book. By "just subbed," I mean 9 months ago. I removed the comic from the polybag before sending it in and kept the poster. I think you are right about the poster being separate in the bag.

Tony S Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I believe what you are thinking of is CGC's policy that it will not encapsulate LOOSE items that came with a comic. Say a factory bagged comic that included a loose poster or trading card. Posters and trading cards that are attached to the book are graded. If those cards or posters are missing, they would get green label grade if nothing else was problematic with the books (say restoration) Lightning55 and theCapraAegagrus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayzor13 Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share Posted January 14, 2022 So in sum, if it’s in the book, leave it, if it’s outside the book, don’t send it. Thanks everyone. djzombi and Tony S 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walclark Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Correct. You would open the poly bag, put the comic in a bag and board, and submit the comic, but not the poster. Same thing with comics that are bagged with trading cards and other extras. From the CGC website: "CGC will not certify some floating items, such as free-floating 3-D glasses, or poly-bagged collectibles. All collectibles must be taken out of poly bags before being graded."

Yep. I sent in my Buffy 1/2 and held onto the loose cert. Edited January 15, 2023 by MAR1979 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
