CGC Expands Collaboration with Raremarq to Support All Graded Collectibles

Founded in 2024 to serve the world’s top comic creators, Raremarq quickly became the trusted home for original comic art and sketch covers, helping hundreds of sellers earn millions through its purpose-built auction and commerce tools. From that foundation, Raremarq organically expanded into CGC-graded comics and now CGC-graded cards, video games and home video collectibles, extending its proven creator-first marketplace to a broader collectibles audience.

“When I first learned about Raremarq, I was honestly blown away by how great it is for both collectors and creators,” said Brittany McManus, Vice President of Autographs at CGC. “The site is clean, easy to use and incredibly smart. Raremarq has truly bridged the gap between creators and collectors, and we’re thrilled that CGC is part of the experience. We share the same passion for collectibles, and it’s exciting to see such a strong, seamless solution for comic and card fans.”

Through seamless grading integrations, community profiles and a dedicated marketplace, Raremarq serves as the commerce layer for rare collectibles, and here’s why collectors are loving Raremarq:

• Instantly Import Slabs: Add CGC-graded comics, cards, video games and home video collectibles to a digital collection in seconds by visiting raremarq.com/cgc.
• Build Your Collector Network: Put a collection in front of tens of thousands of active users. Gain followers who track the latest additions, chat instantly with peers, and build a reputation within a global community that shares the same interests.
• Activate Sales Instantly: Move an item from "Not For Sale" to "live auction" or "buy-it-now" in a single click.
• Entertain Offers: Use Raremarq’s native “make-me-an-offer” engine to field private offers from interested buyers without actively listing an item for sale. Accepted offers are automatically charged to the buyers, making payment friction-free.
• Transact Securely via Escrow: All Raremarq purchases are protected by an escrow service that holds the buyer’s funds until the piece is successfully delivered and no issues are reported within 24 hours. With escrow, both the buyer and seller are protected and can transact with confidence.

“When our community saw that our auction technology was helping sellers earn up to 10 times more than traditional platforms, they immediately asked for a way to bring their entire collections over to Raremarq,” said Christopher Tung, Co-Founder and CEO of Raremarq. “We built this integration so that importing graded collectibles takes just seconds. Whether a collector wants to simply display their slabs or is ready to run an auction and entertain offers, they are instantly plugged into a proven marketplace with tens of thousands of active buyers.”

Collectors using the CGC integration on Raremarq can showcase their collections, build followings, and engage directly with buyers. Items can be moved from display to live auction or buy-it-now listings with a single click, and collectors can entertain private offers through Raremarq’s built-in offer engine. Transactions are protected through an escrow service that holds funds until delivery is confirmed.

Collectors can begin importing their CGC-graded collectibles by visiting raremarq.com/cgc. Accounts are free to create, with seller verification available for those interested in running live auctions on Raremarq’s global marketplace. Start uploading pieces, listing items for direct sale and fielding private offers immediately. For collectors looking to maximize their returns by running live auctions on Raremarq's global marketplace, seller verification is required.
