Rarity: Common
The CGC .5 grade might be the lowest numerical grade that CGC Comics gives, but it is one of the most cherished additions to our pin giveaway.
Rarity: Common
The CGC 1.0 pin was introduced in 2024 and is the second-to-lowest grade you can get on a comic. It gets a chuckle out of many, joking that it was supposed to be a CGC 10, but someone added a decimal point.
Rarity: Variant
The CGC 9.6 pin made its debut in 2023. Darn, those color-breaking creases! Due to its unpopularity, it rarely makes an appearance in today’s pin giveaways.
Rarity: Common
The CGC 9.8 pin is perhaps our most iconic grade pin. It is part of the OG collection that was released in 2021 and is still a very treasured pin.
Rarity: Variant
The CGC Mint 9.9 pin has been a part of the mix since 2021 and has been a fan-favorite ever since — especially when the winner could walk away with the coveted CGC hoodie! This pin is more limited than the 9.8 pin, so it’s always a crowd-pleaser when it is pulled.
Rarity: Variant
This pin made its debut at Portland Retro Gaming Expo 2024 and features gold plating and retro gaming-style numbers. It will be available only at select CGC Video Games shows, making it less common than the other CGC Comics pins.
Rarity: Exclusive
The CGC Gem Mint 10 pin causes a lot of shouts (more like screams) of joy, high-fives from friends and jealous stares from onlookers. It’s very limited and pulling one means you also walk away with your very own slabbed comic! Gem Mint, baby!
Rarity: Ultra Exclusive
And you thought Gem Mint 10 pin couldn’t get any better... Well, we added glitter, and hook the winner up with their very own CGC Signature Series-certified comic book! If the Gem Mint 10 pin is very limited this baby is ultra-limited.
Rarity: TBD
CGC Cards is also getting in on the pin game with its shiny black and gold Pristine 10 pin. Look for more pins from CGC Cards soon!
Rarity: Variant

Rarity: Exclusive
This pin was given out at Portland Retro Gaming Expo 2023 in honor of the 1st birthday of CGC Video Games. The numbers are in a retro gaming style, with the 1 fashioned to look like a birthday candle. Unlike the other enamel-based pins, this has a glossy finish.
