Video Game Grading Summary

Our grading and encapsulation service for compatible Video Games in our TCG Grading Encasing.

How We Grade:

At TCG Grading, our video game grading service is designed for collectors who value authenticity, condition accuracy and presentation integrity. Whether sealed retro games, modern factory-sealed titles or complete-in-box (CIB) collectibles, our grading system focuses on how a game truly displays and preserves over time. 

Sealed Video Game Subgrades:

Box / Case - 50%

We assess: Creases and dents Crushing or warping Edge wear Print clarity and colour fade Plastic case cracks (where applicable) 

Seal Integrity - 20%

We carefully assess original factory seal quality, including: Tightness and uniformity of shrink wrap Seam integrity, Y-fold or manufacturer fold patterns, Air holes, Evidence of re-sealing 

Corners & Edges - 15%

Sharp corners are critical in boxed games. We assess: All corner integrity Edge compression Split seams 

Presentation - 15%

This includes: Plastic case scuffing Artwork clarity Manual alignment (if visible) Internal shifting UV fade Odour 

For sealed games, packaging and seal integrity are critical. These weightings reflect long-term collector value and visual appeal.
