Grading Options
Direct to Grading
The streamlined Direct to Grading option will allow your cards to be submitted for third-party grading more quickly and features a hands-off ingestion process, meaning the cards will not be touched by the COMC team. This prioritized service level features our fastest turnaround time yet, with your cards being processed in just 1-week.
Submitting cards:
- Standard thickness cards must be submitted in a penny sleeve and semi-rigid card saver.
- Cards 130pt or thicker must arrive in a thick penny sleeve and top-loader.
- Manufacturer uncirculated cards with a factory seal will be submitted untouched and NOT opened
- Graded cards are accepted to be crossed-over to a different grading provider.
Upon arrival at our facility, cards using this service will not be removed from their submitted card savers or top loaders by the COMC Team. The untouched cards will be processed into your COMC account within a week. These cards will be ‘locked’ with the only action available being the ability to Submit for Grading. Users will then be able to select the desired grading company and grading submission level for the card. Please note that Standard grading rates apply.
Please be sure to note the grading provider’s supported item policy to verify the eligibility of your cards.
Graded items will be returned to your COMC account ready to list for sale, send to Auction or inclusion in your next shipment request. All graded items are provided back to the COMC account as an Elite item. In addition to the higher-quality Elite scan, the items will have the ability to send for Auction or price at over $100 without further delay or upcharge. Learn more about our Elite service in our dedicated Help Center section.
Note – Any card not submitted properly in a penny sleeve and card saver will be sent to the 2-week Select service level.
Pre-Grade Review
Grade with Confidence! The COMC Pre-Grade Review opens the grading door to millions of cards on the COMC Marketplace! We’re excited to help provide further insight and confidence regarding the quality of your cards before sending them off to grading with PSA or CGC. The COMC Pre-Grade Review is $5.00 Per Card and has an estimated 1 week turnaround.
With our new Pre-Grade Review service, COMC’s expert team will review your cards and assess if we believe their condition to be Mint or better. Cards will be given the white glove treatment by our experienced professionals throughout our comprehensive review system. This affordable service will save you money and bring you peace of mind. Get your cards reviewed with COMC before submitting through our Group Grading services with PSA & CGC.
When you submit your card for Pre-Grade Review you will receive one of these assessments:
- Passed Pre-Grade Review – These cards will have been assessed as being in Mint condition or better.
- Does Not Pass – Cards will be reprocessed as Elite and deposited into your COMC account.
Our expert team has seen an 86% success rate of the cards we gave a passing grade (receiving either a Gem Mint or Mint from third-party graders).
IMPORTANT: This service is intended only for cards manufactured on or after the year 2000. Cards manufactured before 2000 will not pass review and will be reprocessed back into your account. We cannot offer refunds for any submissions.
COMC Pre-Grade Review Notes:
- COMC provides the Pre-Grade Review as a physical condition assessment for raw cards currently in your COMC inventory to give you added peace of mind when determining which cards you want to submit for grading.
- Cards we are confident are in MINT or better condition will receive the note [Passed Pre-Grade Review] and be locked in your COMC inventory, prepared for submission through any of our PSA and CGC group submission offerings.
- Cards that do not meet the Pre-Grade Review threshold will be reprocessed as Elite and deposited into your COMC account.
- COMC is not a grading entity, and the opinion of any third-party grader may differ from our condition assessment and/or standards. No refunds can be given based on the grade your item receives.
- Once you submit this item for review, your order cannot be cancelled or changed. No refunds will be given after your order is placed.
- Turnaround times are estimates and are not guaranteed.
