CGC Grader notes now available online

CGC has announced that Grader Notes are available online from $5 to $30 per collectible*. These notes are a valuable part of the grading process and can help explain why a collectible received the grade it did.

What are CGC Grader Notes?

When CGC graders examine a comic book or magazine, they often enter comments about the collectible's condition. These "Grader Notes" describe problems and indicate the condition of the interior pages. After the first grader enters notes and their grade, the next grader can review those notes and can make any additional notes. For comics with the purple CGC Restored Grade label, Restoration Notes are given that describe the location and type of restoration.

Sample Grader Notes

Some commonly used CGC Grader Notes include:

  • Right Center Front Cover Lite Fingerprints
  • Top Spine Water Damage
  • Left Center Back Cover Moderate Erasure Mark
  • Spine Small Stress Lines
  • Staple Rusted w/ Rust Stained Interior
  • Interior Heavy Tanning
  • Bottom Right Front Cover Large Crease
  • Top Right Front Cover Restoration Color Touch
  • Left Center Back Cover Restoration Tear Seal

 

Grader Notes Fees

The fee for Grader Notes varies based on the tier the comic or magazine was submitted under:

  • Walkthru — $30
  • Express and Standard — $15
  • Economy, Value and Modern — $5
