Comic Book Loans. Keep the keys. Borrow against them.
Graded key issues have a long public sales history, which makes them strong collateral. Borrow against your comics without selling, with every book verified against its grading record and held in an insured vault.

Comic Book Loan FAQ
How much can I borrow against graded comics?
Loan-to-value typically ranges from 25% to 75% of the appraised value, based on recent sales of the same book in the same grade. Loans range from $25,000 to $2 million.
Do restored books qualify?
Restored (purple label) books are reviewed case by case and are generally valued below unrestored copies of the same grade.
Can I borrow against raw, ungraded comics?
High-value raw books can be submitted for grading first, at cost. Graded books are strongly preferred.
Will I get the same books back?
Yes. Every book is recorded by certificate number and photographed before storage, and checked again at return. While a loan is open the record is locked, so nothing can be sold, swapped or pledged twice.
Do you check my credit?
No. The decision is based on the collection, not your credit history or income.
Is the loan non-recourse?
Non-recourse terms are available on qualifying loans, meaning the collection is the lender’s only remedy. Your term sheet states plainly whether your loan is non-recourse.
Can I repay early?
Yes. Generally, there is no prepayment penalty. Repay at any time and your collection is returned or stored with its record intact, ready if you want to borrow again.
