CGC Video Games™ and CGC Home Video™ are thrilled to announce the expansion of their expert authentication, grading and encapsulation services to include several new games and home video collectibles, including Atari Jaguar, TurboGrafx-16, Laserfile DVDs and more!

Over the past few months, CGC Video Games' experts have been hard at work designing and testing several new well sizes that securely encapsulate a variety of video games in our industry-leading holders. CGC Video Games has also been cataloging the game libraries of consoles that have not yet been available for certification. This extensive research will allow CGC Video Games to encapsulate games from several consoles for the first time.

"We are all really excited about these new well sizes," said Kenneth Thrower, Director of Grading for CGC Video Games and CGC Home Video. "Unlike most other collectibles, video games come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, which makes certification and encapsulation challenging. Fortunately, CGC Video Games has a great team that is up to the task of expanding offerings so that our company can provide a comprehensive certification service for all collectors."

CGC Video Games will now accept submissions of sealed and complete in box (CIB) video games for the following consoles:

  • Atari Jaguar
  • Gizmondo
  • Neo Geo CD
  • PC Engine
  • PC Engine SuperGrafx
  • TurboGrafx-16
  • TurboGrafx-CD
  • Super CD-ROM2 System
  • European Sega Saturn
  • Japanese Nintendo GameCube
  • Philips CD-i**

**Please note: CGC Video Games will be able to certify some games for the Philips CD-i. However, CGC Video Games will not be able to accept submissions for long box Philips CD-i games at this time. Only submissions in a jewel case with or without a cardboard slip case will be accepted for grading.

CGC Video Games will also now grade several non-standard sized games for certain consoles, including the following:

  • Thick and thin Electronic Arts clamshells for the Sega Genesis
  • Blockbuster Video Rental cases
  • Panesian cases for the Nintendo Entertainment System
  • Donkey Kong Country Competition Cartridge cases

Meanwhile, CGC Home Video is now offering certification, grading and encapsulation services for some of the earliest DVD home video collectibles, including Laserfile DVDs and T-Hinge Keepcases.

"As the industry was moving away from cassettes to disc-based media, there were a lot of different packaging designs, especially for DVDs," said Paul Zamarelli, Senior Finalizer for CGC Home Video. "We're very excited to now offer certification services for some of the pre-keepcase forms of DVD packaging."

CGC Home Video will now accept submissions for the following home video collectibles:

  • Game Boy Advance Video*
  • Laserfile DVDs
  • Super Jewel Box DVD
  • T-Hinge Keepcase DVD
  • Philips CD-i Movies**

**Please note: CGC Home Video will be able to certify some home video collectibles for the Philips CD-i.
