Want to stand out? CPS Indie Mint Gems + kickstarter
CPS is the only grading company that supports indie comics with a special product just for them: the CPS Indie Mint Gems collection. Now, indie publishers can have access to the same collectibles that the big three get: professionally graded and encapsulated copies of their comic books, complete with a special pedigree label.
The best part: with our service, we guarantee you 5 perfect copies graded at 10.0 – yes, guaranteed perfect 10s. Working with Studiocomix, we provided on site encapsulation at their print shop, to ensure that your CPS Indie Mint Gem is handled the absolute bare minimum and is directly encapsulated. No shipping, bouncing around on trucks or being handled by people browsing: your book is immediately preserved in a perfect state when using this service.
Cost: $650 for 5 copies. Turn around times vary according to current workload.
Should I grade my comic books?
Comic Books have become one of the hottest collectibles – ever. During COVID, we observed a sharp increase in the cost of sought after comic books.
If you are a retailer or collector, preserving your collection just makes sense.
