Frequently asked questions

What is the CGC pop report?

CGC's population report shows how many copies of each card CGC has graded at each grade — the CGC counterpart to the PSA population report. CardTrack tracks CGC population for 16,573 Pokémon cards — 3,223,811 graded copies in total.

Is CGC 10 the same as PSA 10?

No. CGC 10 (Gem Mint) is CGC's top standard grade, but the market prices it differently from PSA 10 — PSA 10 copies usually sell for more. CGC also awards a separate Pristine 10 for exceptional copies.

How hard is it to get a CGC 10?

Across the 16,573 Pokémon cards we track, about 24% of CGC-graded copies came back a CGC 10 — and on the hardest cards the gem rate drops to single digits.
