Raremarq Expands Graded Collectibles Ecosystem with Launch of PSA Comic Grading and Card Import Integration
San Francisco, CA – June 16, 2026 – Raremarq, the trusted collectibles marketplace for top creators and serious collectors, today announced a major expansion of its graded collectibles ecosystem through a new integration with PSA, the leading card authentication and grading company in the collectibles industry and serious competitor in the comics grading space.
At the center of this launch is the introduction of PSA authenticated and graded comics for original comic art and sketch covers purchased on Raremarq, giving collectors more choice when seeking authenticated, graded comic collectibles directly at the point of purchase.
Introducing PSA Grading on Raremarq for Select Original Art and Sketch Covers Listings
Raremarq has built its marketplace around enabling collectors to purchase original comic art and sketch covers directly from top creators with integrated grading options that ensure authenticity and long-term collectible value. To date, this has included CGC grading as a core offering for eligible purchases.
With today’s announcement, collectors can now choose PSA grading for eligible comic book sketch covers purchased from supported artists on Raremarq.
This new capability introduces PSA as an additional trusted third-party authentication and grading option directly within the transaction process, giving collectors greater flexibility in how they preserve, protect, and authenticate their purchases without needing to coordinate grading on their own after the sale.
Featuring PSA’s premium archival-grade holder, these collectibles receive museum-quality presentation and long-term protection, making them an ideal choice for original sketch covers and signed comic books.
PSA Comics grading will initially be available for original art sketch covers created by artists with “Legendary” status on Raremarq. Collectors can identify eligible creators by the gold checkmark on their profiles or by viewing grading details within individual listing descriptions.
The current list of eligible profiles includes:
● Saowee
● Artists represented by Scott’s Collectables
● Artists represented by Fletch-A-Sketch
● Artists represented by Comic Sketch Art
● Artists represented by Comic Sketch Art Europe
● Artists represented by Essential Sequential
When grading is selected:
● The creator ships the signed comic directly to PSA
● PSA performs grading and photo authentication
● The certified collectible is shipped directly to the buyer
This seamless workflow ensures authenticity while simplifying the entire post-purchase experience for collectors.
“Sketch covers and original comic art represent the purest form of fandom, and they deserve the highest standard of protection,” said Dan Gomez, Head of Business Development & Sales at PSA. “What Raremarq is building in the collectibles space is incredibly exciting. By embedding our process into the point of purchase, we’re ensuring these incredible original art pieces are instantly protected by the strongest, most secure tamper-proof slabs in the industry, giving collectors total confidence and protection from day one.”
By embedding grading into the buying experience, Raremarq provides collectors with greater confidence when acquiring signed and original comic collectibles while setting a new standard for how comic art is authenticated and delivered.
