It’s Almost Time! Get Ready for the 2024 CGC Comics Registry Awards!

The CGC Comics Registry is a completely free platform where collectors showcase their best CGC-certified comics within Competitive and Custom Sets to compete for recognition and awesome prize packages. With more than 8,000 participants, 100,000 sets and 650,000 collectibles, this resource grows in popularity each year.

For 2024, CGC is awarding prizes valued at more than $17,000 to CGC Comics Registry Award winners! In addition, we’re pleased to announce that this year we’ll be awarding International Comics in their own major category!

Prizes will be awarded for the following major categories:

• The Three Best Golden Age Sets (comics published starting with Action Comics #1 June 1938–1959)
• The Three Best Silver Age Sets (comics published 1960–1969)
• The Three Best Bronze Age Sets (comics published 1970–1979)
• The Three Best Copper Age Sets (comics published 1980–1989)
• The Three Best Modern Age Sets (comics published 1990–present)
• The Two Best Presented Sets (sets with the best descriptive text and images)
• The Two Best Magazine Sets
• The Two Best Custom Sets
• The Two Best Signature Series Sets
• The One Best International Comics Set
• One Collector for the John Verzyl Sr. Registry Masterpiece Award (based on a collector’s overall collection of Registry sets)

Overall quality, balance and completion will all be important considerations — in addition to a set’s score — when judging sets in Competitive categories. Private sets are not considered for awards.

The prizes

We’re continuing the tradition of awarding Signature Series books as part of the winners’ prize package! This year, winners will receive a CGC-certified Batman/Spawn #1 Jim Lee variant signed by Jim Lee, Alex Sinclair and Scott Williams — featuring the iconic CGC Signature Series yellow label — valued at $200!

To participate, enter your set online in the CGC Comics Registry by 5 p.m. ET on June 28, 2024. Winners will be announced on July 26, 2024.

CGC Chat Board Awards

In addition to the CGC Registry Awards, CGC will recognize three outstanding contributors to the CGC Chat Boards. The CGC Chat Boards are a vibrant community where collectors can come together to share their passion for comic books. It is a resource created and maintained by you, the collector, and the CGC awards would not be complete without recognition of the top contributors. In determining the winners for the CGC Chat Board Awards, we will consider a forumite’s complete history of posts. The winning forumites will receive a personalized plaque.
