PCG Graded TCG Blind Box: Everything You Need to Know (So Far!)

Hey gamers, we know how much you’ve loved our PCG Blind Boxes, a special TCG treat that gives you a mystery graded card. If you’re curious about these mystery slabs or want to get more information about it, read this handy guide to stay in the know!

These boxes contain a card graded by Premier Card Grading, one of the top card graders in the country. They handle grading and packaging the cards, while we at Good Games are in charge of selling them to you collectors. We began with Pokemon cards, but have since dipped our toes into One Piece cards too!

Each run’s pools are divided into two categories. $45 and $120 blind boxes, with the more expensive boxes featuring more premium cards. These boxes are further divided into tiers with rarer cards in the higher tiers. The higher the tier, the rarer it is to pull it from your PCG mystery box (but a box can have any of the rares listed!) Boxes may also include Vintage Cards. These are cards from 10 years or older at the time of grading. These can be from any rarity and any grade (from 1-10).

Though we don’t have hit rates per se, we can share you the full list of cards in each run as they are released! Hit the links below for a full list of runs and the cards inside. Please note, some of these cards may have already been pulled by other collectors. As more runs are released, we’ll put them on this list so you can see what to expect from your blind boxes.

• All cards are professionally graded, authenticated, and packaged by PCG Australia.

• Cards are randomly inserted into Mystery Slabs and cannot be exchanged based on grade, card, or rarity.

• Tiers are based only on the card's rarity.

• Grades may vary across all tiers, with the lowest being overall 1 (especially, but not limited to Vintage cards), and the highest being Flawless 10.
  

• Vintage is classified as a card 10 years or older (at the time of grading). Vintage cards can be any grade from 1-10, any rarity, and can be placed into any tier at random. Vintage is considered as an additional card treatment rarity.
  

• PCG Australia reserves the right to substitute cards of equal or greater value where required while a run’s slabs are still in production. 
  

• If a slab arrives damaged due to a manufacturing defect, debris, or incorrect label, PCG Australia will replace the slab at no cost to the customer. Good Games staff can assist in facilitating the return. Customers may also get in touch with PCG Australia at https://premiercardgrading.com.au to return the slab.
  

• If a card meant for a lower-cost option (ie. $45 box) is accidentally placed into a higher-tier box (ie. $120), the customer may return the box for a full refund.
