Jerry Hrechka The main comic grading co. is CGC - Comic Guaranty Corp. They are part of the company that includes SGC. There web site is www.cgccomics.com - I collect comics so I visit their forums frequently.I believe that the lowest grading fee for comics is $21.00.
Grading comics is vastly more complicated than grading cards. Cards are basicaly 2 dimensional with a very small third dimension - the thickness/edges. Comics have many pages where a small imperfection on any of the pages drastically reduces the grade.Just try to verify the grade on a slabbed comic where the interior can not be examined.
If you have trouble differentiaing between a 8,9 or 10 - just try seeing the difference between a 9.4, 9.6, 9.8, 9.9 or a 10 in comic grades.
I collect low graded "Reading Copies" that would be lucky to grade a 3 on a good day. I don't like slabbed comics since you cann't read them.
