Anyone can list a slab. We stake our name on it. As an authorized PSA and CGC dealer, every piece we sell is graded, authenticated, and logged to a cert number you can verify before you buy. The difference between a marketplace and a dealer.
Many collectors and investors view graded magazines as a growing segment with significant long-term potential, particularly premium and high-grade material. Graded magazines have sold for over $250,000 at major auctions. Because magazines were rarely preserved with collecting in mind, surviving high-grade examples are often dramatically rarer than the population suggests.
We are an Authorized Dealer with both CGC and PSA, the two most trusted third-party grading services in the hobby. We also serve as an official CGC Signature Series Facilitator, allowing us to coordinate witnessed autograph submissions directly through our dealer accounts.
CGC Signature Series is a specialized authentication program where a CGC Authorized Witness observes the item being signed in person. The signed item receives CGC's iconic gold Signature Series label, verifying the autograph as witnessed-authentic with complete documented chain of custody. It's widely considered the gold standard for autograph authentication in the hobby.
Signature Series requires the autograph to be witnessed live by an Authorized CGC Witness, the highest level of authentication. CGC x JSA is used for items signed previously without a witness; the signature's authenticity is then verified through JSA's professional forensic review process before encapsulation. Both are legitimate authentication paths — Signature Series simply offers the strongest chain of custody.
Yes. We provide professional cleaning and pressing services for magazines to improve presentation and, in many cases, grading potential. We've handled hundreds of autographed magazines and understand how different inks, papers, and surfaces respond to the process. Get in touch for a quote.
Both. We purchase everything from single key issues to entire collections. Whether you have one magazine, a small accumulation, or thousands of pieces from a long-time collector or estate, we'd love to discuss what you have.
Reach out through the contact form on our site, or message us on Instagram at @nachosmasher. Photos and basic details about your piece or collection are always helpful to get the conversation started. We respond to every inquiry personally.
Direct dealer accounts with both PSA and CGC give us faster turnarounds, better rates, and direct submission access, passed through to every collector we work with.
