CGC Announces $10 Pokemon Special for February

In a bid to capture more market share, CGC has dropped prices for modern Pokemon sets to an all-time low.

CGC Cards has officially announced a limited-time submission special for February 2026. All modern Pokemon TCG cards (2020-Present) will be eligible for a $10 per card grading fee with no minimum submission requirement. This move is seen as a direct challenge to PSA's dominance in the TCG sector and is expected to flood the market with high-grade CGC slabs by mid-spring. Market analysts expect a temporary dip in PSA 9 prices as collectors pivot toward the CGC 'Gem Mint 10' standard.
