What we do
Four services, one obsession with accuracy.
Every book is inspected for authenticity, completeness, and any possible restoration before it’s sealed.
Pressing & Cleaning
Remove dents, finger bends, non-color-breaking creases and waviness — often raising the grade.
from $14 / book
Signature Auth
Proprietary database and authentication technology verifies signed and sketched books. Note: we do not authenticate Jack Kirby or Steve Ditko signatures.
from $8 / sig
Pre-Screening
Set a minimum grade — we only grade books that meet it. Just $5 for books that don’t pass.
$5 / no-pass
Flat-rate, no markup under $4,000
