Getting Your Comic Books Graded? What You Need to Consider When Submitting your books to CGC

In this video I go over a number of considerations if you're thinking about getting some of your comic books graded at CGC. I also go through some comic books that I'm considering getting graded and the reasons why or why not they should be graded. I show some of my CGC graded books and talk about older labels.

I've watched four or five of your videos now and I think it is criminal that you are below 200 subscribers. Great content!

[@raph-retro-comics]

I'm almost there! Thanks for watching and commenting. Happy that you're enjoying the content!

Thank you for this video! It's nice seeing someone going over topics a lot of comic channels don't touch on. I just sent out some comics for grading and I think I made some poor choices but we live and learn. I up the great content!

[@raph-retro-comics]

I've certainly made my share of choices I've regretted, but it's all part of learning. At the end of the day, I love the hobby, the stories and the history, so it's all good.

Great overview of grading!

[@raph-retro-comics]

Thanks Brian! At some point I'd like to do a more in-depth series on grading comic books, but it's a pretty dense topic and I'm not sure if it'll be interesting enough. Thanks for watching!
