CGC Grading App FAQ
Does CGC have a grading app?
CGC does not offer an instant AI grading app — its service requires mailing your comics in and waiting weeks to months. ComicMintAI fills that gap: an app-like tool that predicts CGC-style grades instantly from a photo. It is independent and not affiliated with CGC.
How close are these grades to real CGC grades?
ComicMintAI aligns with CGC grades 95% of the time within 0.5 points, because it is trained on CGC-graded comics. It is ideal for estimates and pre-screening, though it does not replace official CGC encapsulation for resale certification.
Is it free?
Yes — free credits to start with no card. CGC, by contrast, charges $30-150+ per book plus shipping.
Should I still use CGC?
For high-value books you plan to sell, CGC encapsulation adds certified market value. Use ComicMintAI first to identify which books are worth that cost, then submit only your best.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It runs in your browser on any device, so it works like an app without any download.
