🔥 RAREMARQ LEVELS UP WITH CGC—Now Powering ALL Graded Collectibles in One Epic Marketplace Hub
The platform that has helped comic creators and collectors earn millions now brings its proven community marketplace to all CGC-graded collectibles.
Raremarq, the trusted marketplace for top creators and serious collectors, today announced the expansion of its integration with Certified Guaranty Company® (CGC®), one of the leading third-party grading services in collectibles. Building on its successful CGC integration for graded comic books, Raremarq now supports the instant importing of all CGC-graded collectibles including cards, video games, and home videos, giving collectors a unified online home connected directly to a marketplace with millions of views.
Founded in 2024 to serve the world’s top comic creators, including Stanley “Artgerm” Lau (DC, Marvel) and Emmy Award–winning creator Frank Cho (AWA Studios, DC, Image, Marvel), art representatives, and serious comic art collectors, Raremarq quickly became the trusted home for original comic art and sketch covers, helping hundreds of sellers and generating millions through its purpose-built auction and commerce tools. From that foundation, Raremarq organically expanded into graded comics and now all CGC-graded collectibles, extending its proven creator-first marketplace to a broader collectibles audience. With today’s expansion of its CGC integration, Raremarq is solving a major pain point in the graded collectibles space: the gap between showcasing a collection and successfully selling it.
“When our community saw that our auction technology was helping sellers earn up to 10x more than traditional platforms, they immediately asked for a way to bring their entire collections over to Raremarq,” said Christopher Tung, Co-Founder and CEO. “We built this integration so that importing any CGC-graded collectible takes just seconds. Whether a collector wants to simply display their slabs or is ready to run an auction and entertain offers, they are instantly plugged into a proven marketplace with tens of thousands of active buyers.”
As Raremarq continues expanding its grading integrations across the collectibles ecosystem, today’s announcement represents the next step in connecting authentication directly to marketplace liquidity.
Bridging the Gap Between Registries and Marketplaces
As the graded collectibles market matures, collectors are utilizing a variety of digital tools. Dedicated registries do help celebrate the hobby, letting users proudly showcase their finest pieces, and portfolio tracking apps help collectors monitor estimated market values on a screen.
However, there has traditionally been a disconnect when a collector actually decides to cash out or rotate their collection. They are often forced to leave their digital catalogs behind and navigate high-friction auction houses or fragmented social media groups with little protections to find buyers.
Through seamless grading integrations, community profiles, and a dedicated marketplace, Raremarq serves as the commerce layer for rare collectibles, and here’s why collectors are loving Raremarq:
Instantly Import Slabs: Add any CGC-graded collectible (comics, cards, video games, home videos) to their digital collection in seconds by visiting raremarq.com/cgc.
Build Your Collector Network: Put your collection in front of tens of thousands of active users. Gain followers who track your latest additions, chat instantly with peers, and build a reputation within a global community that shares your exact passions.
Activate Sales Instantly: Move an item from “Not For Sale” to “live auction” or “buy-it-now” in a single click.
Entertain Offers: Use Raremarq’s native “make-me-an-offer” engine to field private offers from interested buyers without actively listing an item for sale. Accepted offers are automatically charged to the buyers, making payment friction-free.
Transact Securely via Escrow: All Raremarq purchases are protected by an escrow service that holds the buyer’s funds until the piece is successfully delivered and no issues are reported within 24 hours. With escrow, both the buyer and seller are protected and can transact with confidence.
Built for Collectors by Collectors
Raremarq’s community-driven marketplace has delivered record-breaking sales and built lasting trust among leading comic artists and tens of thousands of collectors worldwide. With this expansion, that same proven infrastructure now extends to all CGC-graded collectibles at scale.
“When I stumbled across Raremarq, I was amazed. I just enter the CGC label selling, and the tool immediately imports everything from CGC. I’m doing almost no work, and instantly I’m getting views and bidders,” said Dalton Roe, a collector and social media influencer with over 700K followers. “Even with my own following, Raremarq has a much better reach into the collecting industry than I ever could on my own.”
“When I first learned about Raremarq, I was honestly blown away by how great it is for both collectors and creators,” said Brittany McManus, VP of Autographs at CGC. “The site is clean, easy to use and incredibly smart. Raremarq has truly bridged the gap between creators and collectors, and we’re thrilled that CGC is part of the experience. We share the same passion for autographed collectibles, and it’s exciting to see such a strong, seamless solution for comic and card fans.”
