Consumers should be aware that the market in comic
books is at times volatile and involves a due measure
of risk. Only those who are aware of, and inclined to
bear, the financial risk involved with buying and selling
comic books should participate in this market. The opinions
expressed in this web page are solely statements of
judgment.
CGC authorized member dealers are independent contractors
and individually accountable for the market that they
make in CGC certified comic books. CGC authorized member
dealers are also individually accountable for any other
contractual undertaking they assume with their clients.
IMPORTANT CONSUMER NOTIFICATION:
It is important for consumers to understand that grading
and certification by Certified Guaranty Company, LLC does not guarantee
protection from common risks associated with a market
which is potentially volatile. The degree to which comics
graded and certified by CGC are liquid will vary according
to market conditions at a given time for the individual
comic book involved. For some collectible comic books
there may, at times, be no active market.
Notices regarding CGC’s Census Report
The utilization of this report as a tool for assessing the population
and value of certified comic books in any character or grade is unreliable.
The following characteristics inherent in the marketplace undermine the
accuracy of this report:
Inexpensive comics, which are not generally submitted for certification,
may appear scarce but are not
Comic certification services are predominantly utilized for higher-grade comics
Certified comic books are often removed from their holders without notifying
the grading service; therefore, computer tallies utilized to provide population
reports may be misleading
Rarity is only one factor that must be weighed in determining the market
value of a comic book
CGC encourages all collectors to seek the counsel of qualified professionals
familiar with the certified comics marketplace before making any purchase
based on this report.
