Course Description

Hello, Im Kevin Volo, and Id like to thank you for checking out my Learn to Grade Comic Books course. When you have completed this course and practiced, you will be able to pick up and grade any comic, whether it's one in your collection or that grail book you finally found at a con.

The Learn to Grade Comic Books course is the most comprehensive course of its kind. In it, I walk you step by step through 27 comics at every grade level from 0.
1 to 10.
0, explaining in detail why they received that grade. For the 25 grade levels from 0.
5 to 10.
0, I bought and cracked professionally graded books just for these videos 24 graded by CGC and one by PGX so that we would have a solid baseline for understanding the criteria at each grade level.

In each video, we move up the grading scale, first examining the CGC graded comic, and then we look at two different comics with the same grade to compare and contrast their differences, because even though they are the same grade, they can look quite different.

Well examine these differences and learn additional details of handling, grading, and properly caring for comics in more than 30 1080p HD videos, with high resolution images to help make the details crystal clear. Thats over 8 hours of course content. Plus bonus material!

Ive been reading and collecting comics since I was 12 years old and love everything about comics. I had a blast creating these videos, looking through and grading some really amazing comics. So I hope youll enroll in the course and take the first steps to learn to grade your comic books with confidence! Thanks.
Who this course is for:
Any comic book collector who wants to know the grade of their comicsA comic book store ownerA collector who is selling comics on ebay or FacebookSomeone who is thinking of sending comics off to a grading company

this is a good course so far but I have to go further to really learn something. I am beginning to see the details and differences between the grades. And I am getting better at using the website.

By Adrian Hines on 11/15/2020

By Roger Davis on 6/16/2020

Thus far, it's interesting. My knowledge is running with his at this point.

By Vikas Singh on 5/9/2020

Yes. It is helping me understand the ABC of something I had no clue about. Step by step with three reference comics for each grade, we are taught how to look at defects and grade accordingly. Videos are easy to follow. The resources at the end are a great addition. I own one of the largest collection of Tintin comics ( 124 languages). This course will help me a lot in grading them and most importantly bagging them

By Jesus Soto Guantos on 5/4/2020

Si, ha sido de gran ayuda

By Randy Scott on 4/3/2020
