-Additional Grading Information-
Comics listed for sale by RPK Comics are assigned a grade from one of two grading scales: theBASIC GRADING SCALEwith seven assignable grades: NM, VF, FN, VG, GD, FR, and PR; and theTEN-POINT GRADING SCALEwith 23 possible grades ranging from 9.8 (highest) to 0.5 (lowest).
We use the ten-point scale to grade most comics valued $10.00 or more and those published before 1985. Each grade on the basic grading scale encompasses multiple grades from the more precise ten-point grading scale. For example, a comic that we have graded a NM on the basic grading scale, could be anywhere from a 9.2 NM- up to a 9.8 NM/M if it were to be graded on the ten-point grading scale.
Some comics are "slabbed" by CGC, CBCS, or PGX. These comic grading services will grade a comic and then seal the comic in a hard plastic case that displays the assigned grade.These grading services assign grades on the same ten-point grading scale used by RPK Comics. You can easily identify a slabbed comic because the grades will include the name of the grading service, such as "CGC 9.4" or "CBCS 9.4". A comic that has not been slabbed is sometimes referred to as a "raw" comic, which means a regular comic not encased in a plastic slab.
RPK Comics grading standards are based on the standards laid out in the-Overstreet Grading Guide-with additional critiques gained from our 35+ years of experience collecting, grading, and enjoying comic books.Grading will always be inherently subjective, and professional grading services such as CGC and CBCS acknowledge that the same book may not always receive the same grade if submitted for grading more than once.
