TroCuri
How we grade every comic before it is listed.
Every comic is read against the full CGC standard the pros use, then a person signs off. The grade you see is the grade you get.
Every comic is graded by TroCuri — our own AI — which reads the covers against the full CGC 10-point standard, assessing edges, corners, spine, surface, color, and creases. It writes a plain-English summary and pulls recent eBay comparables. Then a real person signs off before anything goes live.
AI vision, anchored to the CGC scale.
TroCuri reads each cover the way a careful grader would, scoring the visible condition against the published CGC language — not a guess, and not marketing optimism. Flaws are surfaced in plain language right alongside the strengths.
The signals on every cover.
- Cover gloss, color strikes, and surface wear
- Spine condition — stress lines, roll, and ticks
- Corner and edge sharpness, creases, and tears
- Staples, centering, and flatness
- Stains, tape, writing, and missing pieces

Nothing hidden.
- A grade and a plain-English condition summary
- Real photos with the flaws shown, not hidden
- Honest defect notes — every flaw, every plus
Reviewed by a person before it goes live.
TroCuri does the heavy lifting of looking, scoring, and comparing. A human makes the final call — AI proposes, humans approve.
Our grades are careful in-house estimates. They are not a replacement for professional third-party grading such as CGC, PSA, or PCGS.
