We wish to amplify the 10-point current system using a decimal placement within each grade.

Realistically, we submit to the theory that there are books that fall between a 7.5 and an 8.0, such as a 7.7, and are expanding to a decimal system for that reason. For instance, a solid Very Fine graded comic with white pages should reflect a higher grade than a solid Very Fine book with light tan pages. Our decimal system will allow for these types of criteria, which we know is important and valuable to prospective buyers and sellers.
We are committed to providing realistic and dependable turnaround times. In addition, if we fail to meet our service guaranty, our customers will benefit by means of a rebate. Also, PCA customers may send all categories of comics in one lot on the same form. Books will be returned together using the longer grading period as the service guaranty for all books in the order.

All PCA books will bear one of two labels; Green for un-restored and Red indicating restoration detected. Our restoration experts will perform a check for tear seals, piece replacement, trimming, cleaning/pressing, and glue or tape repairs. Color touches will be noted on label details, not as restored. Other defects exceptional to the grade will also be noted on the PCA label.

PCA grading service is available for comics printed in 1938 through 1975, standard size books only. No oversize comics such as early Master Comics or magazines such as Creepy and Eerie can be graded yet.

PCA offers four grading
