How to Submit Comics to CGC | A-Z 2023

[@aantosca]

Thanks for the video! I have been wanting to submit to CGC but it seemed like such a complicated process... not any more.

[@jmlove48]

Thank you for going through all of these steps, I've been watching several of "how to" CGC submission videos lately and this has been one of the most thorough and complete ones I've watched - very well done!

[@BrysComics]

Awesome!

[@dbulls33]

Wow! As a raw book collector such as myself, and scowering other yt videos on how to, yours by far has been the most in depth and informational!! Thank you so much!! Really enjoyed the content!

[@BrysComics]

👏👏

[@AngelRobles-n1s]

I'm used to submitting coins to NGC & PCGS, but now I want to submit my old comic book collection from when I was a kid (mostly 1993 comics). Thank you for the information, and by the way I liked, commented, and subscribed. Thank you!

[@haylu6766]

Great video. I’ve shipped to cgc several times, but you have some really good best practices here I’m going to start going. Thx.

[@brentG1222]

Very helpful information as usual! Thank you for running some of us newer collectors through this process!

[@kirbycarpenter9775]

Thanks for the video Bry. I always learn something new when watching others submitting comics.

[@TheLordnaga]

Great video, I'm new to grading comics and the tips on submitting and packaging were super helpful.

[@Mike-pl7ks]

Excellent video! Really appreciate you taking the time to put this together as a resource for those of us who have never submitted books to cgc 👍

[@vertex475]

Thank you for the great information. Saving this for future reference…preparing a submission now.

[@dradatzke]

very cool walkthrough. I have a comic shop owner friend of me do this so I honesty didn't know ands learned a lot from this.

[@JBoogie2324]

Watching these How To’s is what got me majority 9.8s after three prescreen submissions

[@drewscollectible790]

Finally brand new video for a new like me. Thank you for this. Will do my first submition soon.

[@BrysComics]

Best of luck!

[@linalleybri]

This is a great video that i will definitely watch many times before my first submission

[@frostyflakes7666]

I cant thank you enough for making this video. I have just gotten into collecting and grading comics and this has helped SO much.

[@BrysComics]

Glad I could help!

[@super-villain800]

You have one of the top jobs in the world 'Comic book dealer' I have thought about opening a store or selling on Whatnot, I just have a hard time letting books in my collection go. My plan is to line my casket with them apparently😂😂

[@jesseha772]

❤ this video. Going to submit my first book to CGC. Thank you!

[@wjbiv75]

Thanks so much for your valued uploads!

[@coolworldpopculture]

There I am at Cincinnati Comic Expo last year, waiting in line nearly 90 minutes for Chris Claremont. I have three copies of Wolverine: No Exit that arrived at my house late the night before with the USPS driver actually coming back after dark to deliver the "missed" package. It's a nothing book, but it's by both Claremont and Larry Hama who is also at the Expo and I want to get the books signed by them both. They books are perfect and I'm feeling pretty excited. I hand Clarmeont the books and he proceeds to flip through them and hold them up like storytime to the crowd talking about them. And there are the books, flopping about, pages hastily turned as Claremont waxes on. Needless to say that I was shocked they cam back 9.8s. Another great and helpful video, Bryan.

[@BrysComics]

Oh man I would have had a heart attack! Lol great story…

[@HJ-fr6ku]

Thank You this was very helpful

[@joefelcastro643]

Very helpful information great video as always tnx bry😁

[@dprescott1970]

[@terrygillard1672]

a lot og helpful information. thank you

[@zachklinnert2437]

Like all the tips and knowledge shared

[@gregparks1785]

What a great video! I’ll definitely save this for future reference.

[@timber750]

Thanks for this useful video!

[@Klung1]

Phenomenal info clearly and concisely delivered! A real service to the comic community. Great job.

[@BrysComics]

Much appreciated!

[@Forza_Juventus_48]

Very helpful Bry.

[@cowbelltv4865]

Thanks for this video. Your expertise and insight are valuable.

[@ParkayCollecttibles]

This is really going to help me with Grading 🤝

[@RanXerox007007]

Don't discount the importance of Declared Value. Some books go up greatly in value while they are sitting at CGC. They lost a couple books (Secret Wars) that are now worth much more than I put in value. They sent me a check but doesn't make up for the loss. I have been overvaluing now. Thanks for calling this out Bryan.

[@AllseeingWatcher]

Great video! I know nothing about comic book grading, now I feel like an expert.

[@cvang999]

Thanks for showing the submittal process.

[@heatherharkins5103]

[@mythirdlife101]

Great video Bry.

[@j-sonS]

I liked watching your shipping and boarding tutorial

[@scottstrobell4677]

Yep, that’s the process!

[@BrysComics]

Lmao

[@sidneyrivera3578]

Thanks for the video series Bry. This calms my nerves for if/when I submit to CGC. Keep grinding bro!✌️

[@Crazyonyou1231]

Great stuff, keep up the great vids Bry.

[@cogitoaprendo1017]

Very thorough and informative. Thank you very much as the additional information and your opinion really helps us make decisions on grading!

[@BrysComics]

Glad it was helpful!

[@bsams3827]

Great video! Nice wall display!

[@comiccollectoraustralia]

This is so clear and concise, thank you for uploading this wealth of information.

[@juliantaylorevans3805]

Thanks for demystifying the bewildering process of CGC submissions. ‘Insane that the economy tier is taking up to a year!? I’m trying to wrap my head around why there would be such an enormous discrepancy between modern and economy turnaround. Thanks again for your well-researched content!

[@BrysComics]

I think it’s a lot easier to train people how to grade modern but idk…

[@ChadEverett-ou1ou]

Thank you!!! Cleared up the questions I’ve had

[@tikertiker2]

Very helpful video, thanks for putting this together

[@BrysComics]

Glad it was helpful!

[@yanmcrae6106]

Perfect information, I have culled my books to 145 decent books and maybe 50 worth submitting...but have not done so yet so info is great

[@BrysComics]

You can do it!

[@ReQuest17]

Good info. Thanks.

[@everydaychallenges2282]

I have held back from submitting books to cgc but great informative video.

[@jyates007]

Very helpful - I am planning on making my first CGC submission May!!!

[@BrysComics]

Good luck!!

[@ufounderground4042]

After my newsstand swap out at the Bagley signing I'll always over value my books. They were offering me declared value which was $250 on a $700+ book. As it was my first time submitting I declared the value as a raw book not knowing I should value the book at what I believe the grade would be.... so I got stuck with a 9.0 lethal protector #1 direct instead of the 9.8 newsstand edition I submitted.. and I wasn't getting reimbursed for the signing fee if I took the buyout... the lady told me they dont distinguish between newsstand and direct....I guess it's a lesson learned lol. My second submission was waaay better! sent 10 books in got all the right books back and my grades were spot on I was very happy.

[@BrysComics]

So messed up how they do that, they know what they’re doing

[@rickphillips9690]

Thanks for taking the time Bry! Very helpful information. Love the channel!

[@iNeverHadMercy]

Absolutely PRICELESS information!! Thanks for taking the time to make this video/tutorial

[@BrysComics]

You're very welcome!

[@jodyhickerson5167]

Great walkthrough. I always learn something from your shows. 1,000’s of submissions! Dang Bry!

[@BrysComics]

I meant 1000’s of books lol

[@BearJewComics]

Really helpful!

[@jasonc9798]

Thanks so much!

[@briangruskin8195]

Great video and tips

[@OGTTT]

This is very helpful. Thank you!

[@twan5555]

Great vid as usual Bryan. I done effed up; I'll be waiting a good YEAR to see my books- and I have a feeling my "9.8"s will be 8.5s. We'll see...

[@BrysComics]

Oh no! 🤞

[@nerdyoldwoman9651]

Economy fast track is a must these days, unfortunately. Thanks for sharing great advice with us.

[@BrysComics]

It will be interesting to see if they cut that tier turn time down…

[@souljah2007]

Very helpful thxx. 👌

[@gcxred4kat9]

VERY thorough, thanks. Question, I live close to a Fed Ex drop off. Can I have my mags shipped there so I can go in and sign for it at my convenience? Having to sign for it makes it tricky to be delivered to your house.

[@antoniomarapese7654]

Just what I needed to know again thanks Bry

[@cherrygrove.]

Maybe I missed it, but where do I enter key appearance notes etc.? Do they do this automatically without fail, or should I make sure I let them know it’s a key or first appearance for every book? Like, leave a note in the box I ship them in? Sorry, I’ve literally never done this before and I’m overwhelmed with all the info haha.

[@BrysComics]

They decide what notes get put on the label…a note with your sub wouldn’t hurt but don’t expect them to put everything on the label…

[@cherrygrove.]

@@BrysComics I see. Much appreciated!

[@garywoods3196]

Good info!!!

[@joestruzzieri9364]

I love your content. I hope you keep publishing more

[@Vp-jt3vl]

Great in depth vid!

[@willloggia]

Incredibly helpful! Thank you

[@anastacialehman9231]

Thanks for the great info and advise, Bry. Very helpful

[@aaronhavens3060]

Very helpful

[@backinthegame_comics]

Great info as always!

[@antoniocar596]

Sending out a few books for signing to CGC. This is my first time sending books out for signature series. Kinda nervous.

[@tobymh23]

Great information! Thanks! 👍

[@stevewhite4533]

Excellent topic, thanks for posting

[@dustinditto9642]

super helpful, thanks!

[@franciscomarquez3678]

Great tips Bry, we appreciate it.

[@kriswibbenhorstermeister9885]

I am looking for 2mil sleeves but heard size for my 1998 comic may be different than the 7 1/4 x 10.5? How do I know what size sleeves to get before I send in a comic for grading?

[@jayteepe-xf3jy]

Awesome video

[@sadbttru]

Great video! Have a couple questions. So you don’t tape the bags the comics are in closed? About how many regular comics can a gemini hold? If you don’t have a box from cgc to start with what / how do you use or get one? I’m in Canada and I know that adds money for everything. My local place will do 75$ Canadian, including a press per book. I have hundreds that need to be graded.

[@pingadol1555]

So you don’t tape the bags the comics are in closed? This was my question too.

[@BrysComics]

For low value modern books I don’t tape the bags, they are sealed up well In the paper bag and CGC is going to open them again soon enough…never had a problem. You can fit 10 regular books comfortably in a Gemini, sometime more depending on the issue. $75 per book with a press is really pricey, I think it would be cheaper to go through CGC (at $75 I think I would opt for CCS)

[@sadbttru]

@@BrysComics thanks. I’m old school collector starting in 84 and just now realize all I’ll leave behind to my family is a burden so I want to start grading books but know that I need to press most books first

[@sadbttru]

@@BrysComics also should have mentioned 75 Canadian includes shipping to cgc and back

[@marksutter1709]

Suggested size for those Kraft bags?

[@gtkeycomic]

I see you did not tape each individual bagged and boarded comic. Should you send your submission in with the bagged & boarded books open? Not taped closed?

[@BrysComics]

Either way, whatever you prefer and have time for

[@DPCcollector]

Great Tips as usual Bry!

[@scottwilloughby8223]

Question. I want to just get some books graded with no pre screening. Is there a mimimum number of books that you have to send in.

[@BrysComics]

Nope

[@CHAMPDOGZ]

So you only put the submission form on the outer smaller box gemini, not inside the Gemini boxs with the comics but the outer ?

[@BrysComics]

Just as long as they get it

[@CHAMPDOGZ]

Hey so I have a question I submitted some books for the first time to CGC I'm EXTREMELY happy with most of the grades..but 2 books I know were pretty high grade expected 9.6's or 9.4 at worst 9.2 9.0 since my first time not sure how harsh, but these books got 7.0 with grader notes bends to cover & creasing to the cover which I know weren't there at all & doubt it happened during shipping because not only did I pack them well but they were in the middle of the pack between a few 9.9's 👍, my question is what steps do i take since i believe they were damaged along the process ? Also I haven't gotten them back yet I looked at the grade on the website. Thanks in advance

[@christopherpennington6627]

I like to grade pc covers for me it doesn’t have to be a highly sought after book if I like it and want to protect it I’ll grade it

[@samaritanx]

@bryscomics Do you tape the individual comic bags closed? I’ve seen different vloggers say do and some say don’t.

[@BrysComics]

No because I don’t want them to wrestle with the tape and damage the book

[@oovotzify]

Thanks very helpful.

[@damiandiaz6323]

love the info!!

[@Lunchparty]

Great video again thanks
