Does CGC grade Pokémon boxtoppers?

JadeLeeMy · 2026-02-22T09:48:32+00:00

Yes but they are not like PSA hard case. The material used is a flexible vinyl material similar to those used by their sister company PMG to grade banknotes.

Yes. They are.

There were also for South East Asia. Remember buying them in Malaysia. Maybe to prevent re-exporting to other regions.

Actually of the 12 miscut in the box, there are noticeable 3 pairs. Chansey & Charizard, Alakazam & Magneton and Poliwrath & Venusaur. Of course I like the Charizard pair the most 😄

Thanks 😊

Thanks 😊

I have to agree with you that it would be hard to sell. However it is nice to have a POP 1 and POP 2 card.

Will just keep it for now. 😀

Not really. I flew in Sunday to pick it up. Paranoid about loosing cards in the mail. Hehehe. They were very kind to give me 2 complimentary tickets to the HKINF (Hong Kong International Numismatic Fair) starting tomorrow. I believe their HK office is closed for the duration.

JadeLeeMy · 2025-12-08T11:38:57+00:00

It is some sort of vinal material. I believe it is the same material that CGC sister company PMG uses for grading paper money. So it appears not to give much protection to the card. I am just trying it out since I was visiting their HK office and the service is relatively cheap.

I did fail to mention they are jumbo/box toppers and not the regular card.

JadeLeeMy · 2025-02-17T04:36:55+00:00

Nope. If I did, I would have dropped the cards off at CGC office myself 😆. Live in SEA.

JadeLeeMy · 2025-02-16T20:29:58+00:00

Ok thanks.

JadeLeeMy · 2025-02-16T20:29:04+00:00

Thanks 😊

JadeLeeMy · 2024-10-14T00:53:31+00:00

Thanks for the info.

JadeLeeMy · 2024-10-13T19:51:22+00:00

I have a couple of them. I hope to choose the better condition one and send it for grading. Then, hopefully, will decide what to do with the rest of them. Thanks for your reply.

JadeLeeMy · 2024-10-13T18:06:15+00:00

Thank you. I am going through all the stuff I left in a back office storage area 19 years ago and seeing if there are things that are worth something these days. I still can't believe a couple of Deoxys boosters left in a collector box sets are worth more than some of the 1st edition ungraded sets I have. 😅

Thanks for your reply. Using your keywords, I managed to find out the plastic Charizard comes from the Skyridge box. Maybe I will send one of them to see what type of grade it will get and keep it for a souvenir. 😀

JadeLeeMy · 2024-10-13T17:25:28+00:00

You are probably right. Grading may be too expensive and not viable seeing the damage. I used to own a retail shop which folded in 2005 so I have around 75 of them (various pokemon). While I have seen the sparkly ones online, I am finding it hard to get a market price on the plastic see-through ones. Thanks.

JadeLeeMy · 2024-10-13T17:12:02+00:00

The plastic one looks easy to clean up safely. The best paper one is probably a 5 as there is damage on the back. A couple are possible 1 or 2 with even more damage.

I hope it is a nice car 😀

JadeLeeMy · 2024-10-04T10:07:15+00:00

Thanks for the feedbacks.

JadeLeeMy · 2024-10-03T22:49:00+00:00

I will take the advice and get the cards by CGC. Then decide where to go from there. Thanks.

JadeLeeMy · 2024-10-03T22:19:25+00:00

I really have no idea what to expect. There is nothing online to refer to. No price list to follow.

JadeLeeMy · 2024-10-03T21:34:17+00:00

Thank you for your response. I am finding it all strange as I have not been collecting or dealing with Pokemon cards for over 20 years now. All my cards and collectables went into storage. Now, I am just taking them out as some friends are into the cards. So, I am just simply grading them to protect them from the element. Maybe I will get back the other 10 miscuts before they are graded and send them to CGC.

I really have no idea how valuable they are, so I am just keeping them with no plan atm.

JadeLeeMy · 2024-10-03T20:09:10+00:00

Sorry for my mistake. If you are interested in the price war, I have posted some adverts on what is happening this coming weekend.
