Grading Comic Books in my possession 1 1

[GuardianXPS]

Hi,

I am going through roughly 2k comics I have in Original shipping bags and Comic Boxes. There are some showing a fairly sizable value, however they need to be graded. I checked the boxes availability and I could not see any available to purchase. 

Is there a process to notify ahead that I am sending comics? I looked at the newbie area and really didnt find anything outside how to ship comics for grading.

I would really like to get specific comics graded and in a better protective covering. Many of my comics are from DC, Marvel, and other brands from the 60's through the late 90's.

Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks.

You're asking how to submit comics to CGC?

Start here:

You also don’t have to use their shipping boxes and materials.

There is no better "covering" than a Mylar sleeve (housed within an acid-free Archival Storage Box, if you wish).    The Library of Congress does not send our country's landmark documents to CGC to "protect" them.  If you want to have your books third-party certified/graded, knock yourself out.    But don't do it because you think CGC's holder provides your comics with the best long-term protection.

I find plastic is much better at protecting from bends and drops than Mylar.

There's no such thing as original shipping bags  unless all 2000 are subscription copies.

None of it matters since this is another phantom troll post where the OP poses a question and is never seen again.

 It's just a way to post, get approved by mods, then have free reign.
