CGC Launches Bulk Tiers for Video Games and Home Video Collectibles
Starting July 8, 2025, Certified Guaranty Company® (CGC®) is introducing a Standard Bulk grading tier with a new Standard Bulk PreScreen option for both video games and home video collectibles. Designed for collectors and dealers submitting larger volumes, these new services offer a simpler and more cost-effective way to get your collectibles certified by the industry’s largest and most respected pop culture grading service.
Whether you're a longtime collector with shelves of sealed games or a reseller with stacks of VHS tapes, the new Standard Bulk tiers provide flexibility, value and efficiency. With Standard Bulk PreScreen, you can request that CGC only encapsulate collectibles that reach your specific minimum grade. For example, if you select PreScreen and specify a minimum grade of 9.8, CGC will only encapsulate those collectibles that grade at least 9.8. The rest will be returned raw and only a $9 reject fee will apply, potentially saving you hundreds of dollars or more per submission!
| Grading Tier / Service | Fee per item | Max. Value |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Bulk 30-collectibles minimum | $36 | $2,500 |
| Standard Bulk PreScreen 30-collectibles minimum; highest accepted minimum grade is 9.8 | Tier fee OR $9 per reject | $2,500 |
Services apply to eligible video games and home video formats. This launch is part of CGC’s continued effort to provide more options to certify and protect collectibles and to simplify the grading process.
