    Hi and good evening

    I am not a comic collectors but

    I have two comics I would love to get graded and store them correctly.

    They are a bit oddball but I have had them since new in the early 90s

    Back in the 90s mortal kombat arcade games 1 and 2 had a mail order offer for comic books, I sent off and have them since in their mailing envelopes. What is the process to submit for grading and the cost etc?


    Any advice would be great

    Ignore them they're a troll and a poor one at that.
    Eh comicsireland.ie or something similar is cgc affiliated they may be able to point you in the direction, or give you an idea if worth while.

    Grading is usually relatively expensive and done for rare or valuable items, the cost could be vastly more than your books would ever be worth just be aware of that.

    To echo the previous poster, the cost of sending those books to CGC to be slabbed would almost certainly be more money than they are worth.

    You'd probably be looking at around 20-25 quid per comic at a minimum I would guess, plus postage etc

    You see this is the dilemma, the two comics i have seem to be expensive maybe £1000 each. Found them yesterday on ebay and they are mad money

    Good for you!
    Well in that case, having them slabbed would likely increase their value if you want to sell them.

    There is (or at least there was) an agent for CGC in Ireland. His phone number is 086-306-8146.

    Alternatively check out their website. Best of luck

    From what I could see there are 3 available on eBay from different sellers.
    1 is certified graded vf/mint while the next is fn with the last ungraded.
    Follow the eBay listing to see what they actually sell for.
