Has anyone here got anything CGC Graded? I'm currently downsizing my collection to pay for college, and I'm considering getting a few issues graded. If anyone has CGC grading experience, would you consider it worth it? And can you find out what grade the book would get without actually getting it put in the case? By the way, my auctions can be found here

I got three comics graded by CGC, although I never mailed the comics to them; I just went to conventions that had their on-site grading or whatever it's called, and personally I'd say it was worth it. If you're grading these in order to sell, I'd recommend checking out eBay to see how much certain grades of the books you're planning to send in would go for, and decide if it's worth the cost--subtract the cost of how much you'd have to pay CGC from the auction total and that's probably what gain or loss you'd get. A lot of common modern CGC'd books nowadays don't even make back the cost of grading unless they're... I dunno, 9.8 or higher. Only exceptions would be something like Amazing Spider-Man #300 or whatnot. Also, they have something called a pre-screen service, which probably answers your question about whether or not you could find out a book's grade without having to use the case (I've never used it though, so I can't help you there): www.cgccomics.com/services/prescreen.asp
