How do I choose the right comic book grading service?

Short answer: Consider the value of your comic, your budget, your need for speed, and whether the book has signatures.

Answer

Consider the value of your comic, your budget, your need for speed, and whether the book has signatures. High‑value, mainstream keys generally benefit from CGC grading. Signed books that lack a witness are better served by CBCS. Lower‑value books or collections that you want back quickly can go to PGX, but expect a lower resale return.
