CGC Grader Notes for Comics Now Available for Free with Associate and Higher Memberships

Certified Guaranty Company® (CGC®) is excited to announce that as of December 16, 2021, all available Grader Notes for comics are provided for free to CGC Associate and higher members and Authorized Dealers.

In addition to full submission privileges, there are many great benefits to being a CGC Associate member or higher, and now access to all available Grader Notes for comic books is one of them. Previously, CGC Associate, Premium and Elite members received complimentary Grader Notes only for their own comic book submissions. With this update, whenever a comic book has Grader Notes, CGC Associate and higher members will be able to view them for free.

CGC Grader Notes are a valuable part of the grading process that provide more information about CGC-certified comic books. When CGC graders examine a book, they may enter comments about its condition that describe problems, indicate the quality of interior pages and help explain why a collectible received the grade it did.

Some examples of CGC Grader Notes include:

• Right Center Front Cover Lite Fingerprints
• Left Center Back Cover Moderate Erasure Mark
• Top Spine Water Damage
• Staple Rusted w/Rust Stained Interior
• Interior Heavy Tanning
