GRADED COMIC BOOKS FOR COLLECTORS
Graded comic books are collectible items that have been evaluated and assigned a quality grade by a professional grading company. This process, known as comic book grading, meticulously assesses a comic book’s condition, considering factors like print quality, page color, and any physical damages or imperfections.
The grading scale typically ranges from 0.5 (poor condition) to 10.0 (perfect condition), with the grade encapsulated on the comic book in a sealed, tamper-evident plastic slab accompanied by a unique identifier.
WHY BUY GRADED COMIC BOOKS?
- Preservation and Protection: Graded comic books are encased in durable plastic slabs that shield them from moisture, dust, UV light, and handling damage. This ensures they remain in pristine condition for years.
- Market Value: A professionally assigned grade removes uncertainty when buying or selling. Collectors can confidently invest in comics knowing their grade accurately reflects their condition.
- Authenticity: Grading services verify the authenticity of the comic, ensuring it’s not a counterfeit or has any restoration.
- Showcase Worth: Whether you’re displaying a vintage Spider-Man issue or a rare variant cover, graded comic books add a professional and polished look to your collection.

CGC AND CBCS GRADED COMIC BOOKS
Depending on which graded comic mystery box you order you might get a CGC or CBCS graded book between the grade of 5.0 and 9.9. Below we explain what each grade means as for the condition of the comic book. However, please note that comic book grading is subjective and each grader might vary slightly on the grade they would give a comic.
- MINT 10 to 9.9 means there’s only very minuscule printing and bindery defects or the most barely noticeable handling defects present. These graded comic books usually go for more than double the price of the 9.8 version.
- NEAR MINT+ / MINT 9.8 means the comic book is close to mint with a few minor defects.
- NEAR MINT+ 9.6 means the comic is close to mint with some minor defects. Often one color breaking spine ding or crease will drop an otherwise 9.8 to a 9.6.
- NEAR MINT to NEAR MINT – 9.4 to 9.2 means the book is an excellent copy with great eye appeal, but has minor creasing or spine dings.
- VERY FINE / NEAR MINT 9.0 to 7.5 means the comic book appears to have been read a few times and has been handled with care for the most part. There’s usually a handful of noticeable defects like spine stress and creases.
- FINE 7.0 to 5.5 means that the comic is definitely a reader copy with handling wear, but can still be a very desirable copy especially if it is rare. They usually have a combination of creases, dings, discoloration, and tan to brown inside pages.
- VERY GOOD 5.0 to 3.5 These books are complete, but can have major creases and a spine roll and all the defects that would apply to the fine category.
