CGC Seems to be up and running.

FWIW, CGC is to comics what PSA is to sports cards. Comics have been skyrocketing this this past year too. I have been slowly selling off my Fantastic Four collection. I had several CGC graded books and they sure made it easier for me to price and sell. Restored comics is a thing too. For my ungraded comics I get lots of questions about restoration and I have to say look this is from my personal collection, I'm not a professional grader.

I've only ever paid to have a 1-2 cards slabbed, actually I think it was an autograph authenticated. I generally buy them slabbed and let someone else deal with getting them graded.

That said I've wondered about ranking some of the other grading services after PSA. From this thread it sounds like it goes:

1. PSA
2. Beckett
3. SGC

I think I have some Sandberg rookies from GMA (10) that I bought several years ago. Wishing I had PSA 10's now given the recent rise in values.
