I’m happy to announce that CGC has introduced a mobile certification tool! This is similar to the product offered for coin collectors and an important addition to the hobby. They have also announced there will be several enhancements in the coming year including the ability to purchase grade notes.

You can visit the mobile verification site at m.CGCcomics.com

The full press release for this new tool is here.

Are you tired of looking at a prized comic book behind a sealed piece of plastic?

Would you like to once again hold a comic book in your hands and flip through the pages?

How about pressing and resubmitting your comic for a better grade?

If you answered yes to any of these questions or just hate encapsulated comics, this video is for you!

If you are looking to save some money on CGC submissions you owe it to yourself to look at using their pre-screening service.

CGC requires a minimum submission of 50 comics to use the service. You can set any grade level you would like up to 9.8, and they will fully grade the comics that make the grade, and charge a small fee for those that don’t. If you are submitting modern comics the total fee will be about $375 including return shipping if half your books pass.

This service works especially well with modern comics. Overall you save a little money on the grading fee and ensure you get high enough grades on your comics (think 9.8) to make slabbing worth the investment.
