Specialist Notes

All comics are graded by EGC - European Grading Company , a comics grading service renowned for its accuracy and transparency. EGC uses a full decimal scale from 0 to 10 to evaluate the condition of comics, allowing for extremely detailed evaluations. Each comic is examined by three expert evaluators who jointly agree on the final rating. The EGC grading system is applicable to comics of any era, with no distinction between past masterpieces and new gems. The final rating is published both on the EGC website and delivered in a prestigious format to the comic's owner. It is freely viewable thanks to a QR code on the back, which allows you to view the evaluators' work.
