I'm looking to get some books graded for myself and want to know if I should go with CGC, CBCS, or another grading service. I've only ever bought graded comics and they're mostly higher grade so I don't look at detail as long as it looks good and clean. I recently picked out some books I want to send in but don't know where. I know CGC books are valued higher but I'm not sure if it's because their grades are more accurate or they just deal in higher value books, but I'm not looking to resell anything. The books I have vary in price and since I'm not reselling anything, I don't want to pay more for the same grade at CGC or worse get undegraded.

The books are:

Wolverine 1-4 (1982)

Amazing Spider-Man 345

Killing Joke 5th Edition

Dark Days the Cutting 1

Vengeance Of Bane II

​

Any help would be appreciated I want to get these books sent in ASAP.

My grandmother just game me all of her old comics from the 70’s-90’s. I’d like to know how much it would cost and how long it would take to grade these comics.

I picked up this nice book for about $5. Other tiny spine ticks doesn’t seem to have any issues other than it won’t lay flat. Does anyone know why or what that’s called? Could send it for a press to see if that makes it better but at this price point thinking not even worth the cost to press so wondering if there’s things I can at home to fix

I wanted to get this graded, it’s currently in a plastic slip but I noticed that inside of that slip is another slip with the collectors item printing on it. Do I take it out of the inner collectors item slip before submitting?
