ABOUT CGC GRADING: CGC stands for Certified Guaranty Company.
comics are inspected by one pre-grader for obvious defects (missing pages, etc.) and are then graded by three graders in a temperature-and humidity-controlled environment. The grades are not averaged together, as The Head Grader determines the final grade. This means that if two graders rate a book at 7.0, for example, and the Head Grader grades it a 7.5, the latte grade prevails. The graders look for damage and signs of restoration. The comic books are then graded on a scale from 0.5 to 10. These numbers correspond with more traditional descriptive grades such as "very fine", "near mint", and "mint", with the higher numbers indicating a better grade.
As of 2019 they have graded over 5 million comics and have become the preeminent grader in the world since they began in 2000.
