Comic Book Grading Service – Powered by ACE Grading Co.

Take your new comic purchase to the next level with professional grading before it ever reaches your hands.

With the Stuff Your Mom Hates Pre-Ship Grading Service, your comic will be sent directly to ACE Grading Company for professional grading and encapsulation before being shipped to you.

This optional service is perfect for collectors who want their books authenticated, protected, and display-ready right out of the box.

How It Works

1. Purchase your comic and add the grading service.

2. Stuff Your Mom Hates carefully selects a high-quality copy from our inventory.

3. The book is submitted to ACE Grading Company for professional grading and encapsulation.

4. Once grading is complete, your graded slabbed comic is carefully packaged in protective cardboard and sent directly to you.

Our Quality Standard

At Stuff Your Mom Hates, we only submit books that meet our strict condition standards.

If your comic does not appear capable of receiving a 9.4 grade or higher, we will not submit the book for grading and will contact you with available options. Looking for a higher grade? Let us know in the check out notes. 

State-of-the-Art Encapsulation

Your comic will be sealed in ACE Grading’s industry-leading encapsulation holder, designed by collectors for collectors.

Features include:

• Crystal clear, thick plastic holder with excellent optics

• Tamper-evident sealed case to protect the integrity of the graded book

• Exclusive built-in hanger tab, making ACE the home of the original hanger tab slab

This unique hanger tab allows collectors to hang their graded comics directly on the wall without the need for shelves, brackets, or expensive mounting hardware.

Digital Authentication & Grader Notes

Every graded book includes a unique QR code that links directly to ACE’s authentication system.

Collectors can view:

• Free grader’s notes

• Pre-encapsulation photos

• Post-encapsulation photos

• Interior images if notable features exist (autographs, value stamps, restoration, damage, etc.)

This provides complete transparency into the grading and encapsulation process.

• Consistent grading standards
