A Comic Book Findings Form (CBFF) is an open standard for stores, dealers, and other expert institutions to rate the condition of the comic. The included rating is intended as a good faith evaluation by an experienced professional working in the comics sales industry.

Including a CBFF with a comic helps to ensure a level of transparency in the exchange of comics. Multiple CBFF’s issued over the lifetime of a comic can also provide a method for tracking changes in the condition of a particular book.

Please Note:
A CBFF is not a guarantee of monetary value or the desirability of a given comic. While a comic’s condition plays a role in the price a book might sell for, it is not the only consideration.

A CBFF does not guarantee that future inspecting experts will necessarily agree with the included rating. Experts operating in good faith can come to differing conclusions, and the condition of a comics will change with time and handling.

A CBFF is intended to be issued by experts working in the comics field. These will primarily include retailers with a physical storefront.
