After a major growth phase, VGA now offers bulk grading for 20 or more sealed and/or unopened standard-size games at $45 each, with an estimated turnaround of 30 days.

Video Game Authority (VGA), part of Collectible Grading Authority (CGA), has unveiled a new Bulk Tier, providing dealers, retailers, online sellers, and collectors with a fresh option for high-volume video game grading.
Through this Bulk Tier, customers can submit 20 or more sealed and/or unopened standard-size video games at a rate of $45 per item, with an estimated 30-day turnaround time.
This program follows a substantial period of investment and growth at CGA. Over the last year, the company has more than doubled its staff and invested in cutting-edge technology, specialized equipment, expanded production capabilities, and improved operational workflows—all aimed at boosting grading and encapsulation capacity while preserving quality and consistency.
“Over the past year, we have made a tremendous investment in the future of VGA and CGA,” said Andrew Aiello, Partner at Collectible Grading Authority. “We’ve more than doubled our staff, invested in innovative technology and new equipment, and improved nearly every part of our operation. We now have the capacity to aggressively pursue higher-volume submissions, and the new VGA Bulk Tier is one of the first major results of that expansion.”
“At $45 per game with an estimated 30-day turnaround, we believe we are delivering an exceptional combination of value, speed and quality,” Aiello added. “Dealers and collectors should have a grading option that makes sense at volume without compromising the standards, case quality or presentation of their collectibles.”
The Bulk Tier is specifically tailored for sealed and/or unopened standard-size video games. Titles submitted through this program receive the same VGA grading standards and premium display cases as all other VGA submissions.
VGA asserts that it offers the most robust video game grading system in the industry, integrating both the box and seal grades into the final overall grade, and backed by a diverse grading team with extensive expertise across vintage and modern, domestic and international video game releases.
“VGA has earned the trust of serious collectors by maintaining rigorous grading standards and never losing sight of the quality of the final product,” said Tom Derby, Partner at Collectible Grading Authority. “As we grow, maintaining those standards remains our highest priority.”
This history and focus on consistent grading standards have helped VGA-graded games establish a strong foothold in the collector market, achieving notable results and strong prices in major auctions and private sales.
For Bulk Tier submissions, customers can select between VGA’s Standard 100-Point Scale and Unified 10-Point Scale.

“We’re not interested in competing on price alone,” Aiello said. “We’re investing in the people, technology, equipment and processes behind the product. Collectors care about the grade, but they also care about the quality of the case, how their collectible presents and the confidence they have in the company standing behind it. We believe VGA is exceptionally strong in all of those areas.”
VGA grading, authentication, and encapsulation are carried out at CGA’s facility in Roswell, Georgia, where premium cases are hand-crafted on site.
