Newbie here with a grading question. 2 2

I dug through some old stuff and found a set of 1991 X-Men #1….all 5 covers. I’m interested in getting them graded but they are still in the original shrink wrap packaging. Do I have to remove it to send?

If you're new, and we all were at one time, you should check out the stickied thread on the main forum page for Newbie Comic Collecting Questions, the thread at the top, can't miss it.  A lot of questions can be answered there without starting a thread, posting photos, etc.

Or you can type polybag in the search box to get past threads involving that word.  Doing that, you would find:

You don't have to remove them, but it's typically better if you do.

There's a lot of things you should know before sending comics in for grading at CGC/etc.

One of the things that I think you need to know is that it's very cheap to buy these 5 covers already graded at 9.8 on the aftermarket. I wouldn't send these in unless I knew for a fact that 9.8 was the most probable outcome.

I also love the coolness factor of having the sealed multipack.

Yup. Cool to own, but also cheap.
