WHAT IS COMIC CLEANING?

Grading is the process of having a third-party service — like CGC (Certified Guaranty Company) — evaluate your comic’s condition and assign it a standardized grade. Once graded, the book is encapsulated in a protective, tamper-evident holder for preservation and presentation.

Graded comics often carry higher market value, and pressing beforehand can significantly improve a book’s chances of receiving a better grade. Many of our customers choose to press and grade in one streamlined submission.

Canada Comic Pressing holds one of the longest-standing CGC accounts in Canada, established in 2000. Now under the ownership of CaptCan Comics, we proudly continue to offer CGC grading services with the same trusted reputation and expert care. CaptCan is an authorized CGC dealer with a strong, long-standing presence in the Canadian comics community.

If you’d like us to submit your books to CGC after pressing, we’re happy to handle the entire process for you. This allows you to take advantage of volume shipping discounts and a seamless, one-stop experience from press to slab.
