Recommended Card Preparation:

• Sports and TCG/Pokemon cards should be in soft sleeves inside a semi ridged sleeve (top-loader or card saver).
• Stacks of top-loaded cards can be bound together with a rubber band or painter's tape to prevent the cards from shifting or sliding during shipping.
• Empty space around the stacks of cards should be filled with bubble wrap or packing paper to fill the shipping box.
• Include a printout of your order and a packing list listing each card and its Collector Number on a spreadsheet. Optional information includes Variation (Holo, non-holo), Set Name (Sword & Shield, Evolving Skies), Language (English, Japanese), and Quantity
  Example 1: Charizard, 017/184
  Example 2: Charizard, Holo, VMAX Climax - s8b (Japanese/JP), 017/184, Quantity 1

Please avoid:

• Sending unprotected cards (no top-loaders) to prevent damage in shipping.
• Sending sealed promotional cards (CGC does not currently grade any sealed Pokémon TCG products, including promotional cards. If you send sealed promos, they will be opened, protected, and sent with your submission.

How to pack your comics for grading:

Place each comic in a bag with board to protect the surface of the book and provide a ridged support structure.

Wrap the stack of bagged and boarded comics together in bubble wrap.

Cut two pieces of cardboard slightly bigger than your stack of comics to create a 'sandwich'. The bubbled wrapped comics should go between the two pieces of cardboard and be secured with tape.

We recommend using a rectangular flat rate mailer from the US Post Office for shipping. A stack of comics (bubble wrapped and sandwiched in cardboard) will fit nicely in the large size flat rate box.
