COMC Pre-Grade Introduction

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. With our 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.  

There are two different outcomes for COMC Pre-Grade Review:

1. [Passed Pre-Grade Review] – This assessment will appear as a condition note upon the completion of COMC Pre-Grade Review and its return to your account. These cards will have been assessed as being in Mint condition or better. Cards with this assessment are 'locked' in your account, your only action is to submit the item to one of our third-party grading partners.

2. Does Not Pass – If your card does not pass our Pre-Grade Review condition threshold, the card is returned to your account without a note. Cards that do not pass Pre-Grade Review are reprocessed as Elite and returned to your COMC account in an unlocked state.

*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).

To submit a card to the COMC Pre-Grade service, use the Actions menu next to your card from your Inventory Manager. From this page, you will then be asked to select either a third-party grading service or you may choose the COMC Pre-Grade service. Follow our step-by-step guide with photos here.

The COMC Pre-Grade Review is $5.00 Per Card and has an estimated 1 week turnaround.

• This service is only for cards from 2000-present. Cards manufactured before 2000 will not pass review and will be reprocessed back into your account. We cannot offer refunds for any submissions.
• 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. We do not disclose specific details/descriptions or "grader's notes."
• 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.
