ABOUT CGC
Certified Guaranty Company has assisted collectors with grading comic books for over 20 years. Their TCG division opened in June 2020 and exploded in popularity in 2021.
Uniquely dedicated to TCG collectors, they provide support for many variations of cards, including errors, test prints, and most languages.
CGC provides next level accuracy by utilizing advanced technology that allows card evaluation at a microscopic level.
While the market continues to evolve, CGC offers a competitively priced grading option without sacrificing quality.
ABOUT PSA
Professional Sports Authenticators (PSA), founded in 1991, has been an industry leader for decades. Demand for PSA grading skyrocketed in 2019 and hasn't decreased since.
Considered the standard for market valuation, PSA is a trusted and reliable source of cementing collectible value. PSA has recently expanded their database to account for many new card variations.
