CGC, or Certified Guaranty Company, is a highly respected third-party comic book grading service. They evaluate, grade, and encapsulate comic books to preserve their condition and authenticity. After grading, the comic is encapsulated in a secure, tamper-evident case to protect it from environmental factors and handling. CGC grading provides collectors with confidence in a comic's authenticity and condition, which is particularly important for valuable or rare issues.

When you buy comic books that are CGC verified, they will include a barcode and a unique serial number. The comic's information and grade can be verified online using these identifiers. CGC maintains consistent grading standards, ensuring that comics are evaluated objectively and fairly. Encapsulation helps preserve a comic's condition over time, maintaining its value and desirability among collectors.

CGC offers a Signature Series option where comic books signed by creators can be encapsulated. The signatures are authenticated, and the comic is graded and encapsulated in a single process. This provides fans with the opportunity to own an item that is limited edition and a direct connection to the creator of their fandom.

There are many popular series that have CGC comic books, including The Avengers, Batman, Captain America, and Star Wars. An example of a CGC comic book set that is popular is the Marvel Black Panther #1 StockX Exclusive Black & White Sketch Variant Edition Comic Book lot of 10). There are also some particularly rare items, like the Ape Editions Snoop Dogg x Eminem 1x Run Shady Comics Concept Art (Edition of 1000) Graded CGC 9.8.
