I did a magazine submission. Heres the pic, the grade is bad because the guide was very well loved in my childhood, and i used some of the stickers

 

 

 

Nice! I am still debating whether sending them or not, I would like to send them to have them capsulated and kept forever in their current great condition, but on the other hand, i wouldnt be able to read them from time to time...

One of them i want to submite is exactly the one you got graded! But its in near mint/mint condition and with all the stickers hehe

Wow! I see it’s nearly impossible to get a CGC 10. I have a very nice sealed unopened Mewtwo JR promo card ready to be graded and was considering sending it to CGC to save some money as PSA is so expensive now, but I don’t want to lower my chances that much to get a 10. It’s a shame but the truth is that for now anything that is not psa graded has a much lower value. And to be fair, IMO PSA deserve their current status, the population tracking system they got is exceptional.

But they will assign a grade to a strategy guide, even though it isnt a comic or magazine?

I think  strategy guide can be considered as  magazine? Most of them are released by magazines as a "special edition"

hey there! Just to pile on top, they absolutely grade strategy guides, i have a few pokemon and final fantasy guides graded myself!

Nice! Could you please tell me what type of submission you did, and if you add an extra note? Also, if you could share a picture of your pokemon graded guides to see how they look would be awesome

Attached example

I am not referring to a game manual, I am talking about strategy guides like this one.

Because of the size, I would submit is as a magazine.  It wouldn't hurt to put a note saying you got prior approval that this could be graded on the packing slip.

Perfect, will do so thank you very much!

This should fit into a holder just fine.  

Perfect! So, in what category should send them for grading? SShould I add any note to the order or something? Thank you!!

Hello

I would need to know the exact dimensions.  Height, width and thickness.  

Mike

Hello Mike thanks for your response!

The size varies depending on the strategy guide, but it would be around 11in x 8,5in x 0,27 in

As I said, that would be a particular one, height and width are all very similar to that, and thickness is probably from 0,27 in to 0,5 in the max I would say.

Thank you

I got a few pokemon strategy guides, that would love to grade them, but not sure if you do it and if so in which cattegory that applies. For example im refereing to the kinds of pokemon trainer guide yellow of nintendo power

Hello

It's not the same as comics. If you want the back of the label to say _______ Collection, you can. You just need to pay the $5. But we do need to approve them. For example, we will not do them for box breaks we were not part of.   Here is what it says about them on our website:

Pedigree

A pedigree can be added to the certification label to indicate a card's past or present ownership. To pedigree a card to a previous owner, that collector or collection must be considered to be significant by CGC Trading Cards and sufficient documentation must be provided to confirm the requested pedigree. You can pedigree a card to yourself, typically without providing any documentation.

 

 

Oh ok i understand, so Its not like I can just pedigree a card with my name right?

I am about to submit a few pokemon cards for grading, and just seen the pedigree option. what exactly is it? It sais "enter pedegree" but not sure what that is, ive seen oon coomics the golden tag but not on pokemon cards
