Our Pre-screening services are designed to help you minimize any risk and uncertainty when it comes time to getting your comic graded. It is often very important to figure out what grade range your comics could obtain before deciding on whether to submit them to be professionally graded & encapsulated.
We offer a wide array of pre-screening services to help you get the most out of you collectible.
Except for restoration check and pre-screen for press, pre-screen service is only available on standard turnaround tier.
Pre-screen for pressing candidate: All books are automatically screened just prior to press at no charge, and will only be pressed if there is a defect to remove. Slabs are screened before removal unless client passes on the screen. Slab screens are $2 per book. A credit is given for all books that are not pressed.
Pre-screen for a minimum grade is $2 per book. (Can be screened for any grade)
Full Grading service is $4 per book. (For when you want more than a screen for minimum) Includes graders notes.
Comic Book Restoration Check is $3 per book. Many books are automatically flagged for restoration even if not selected.
Evaluating books for potential restoration is another pre-screen service. The best way to evaluate a book for restoration is to have it in hand for a detailed inspection. That way you can be fully informed on all the defects, processes to correct those defects, potential risk of certain processes and the anticipated results. There is no charge for this service.
