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.

Yes, you can.  The previous owner must be significant if you are trying to pedigree it to them. You can pedigree to yourself with no issues.
