CGC entered the card grading market in 2020, building on decades of experience from the Certified Collectibles Group, which has graded comics, coins, stamps, and currency since 1987. Quickly adopted by collectors, CGC has already surpassed 10 million cards graded in just five years.

With strong traction in the TCG community, particularly in Pokémon and Magic: The Gathering, CGC has become a significant player for collectors across trading card games. Its attractive label designs, including a gold CGC Pristine 10 label, and integration with CCG’s broader expertise position CGC as a trusted grading option with cross-collectible credibility.
