Costs people forget

Round-trip shipping: $15-30 to send, $20-40 to receive (depending on declared value). Use insured ground.

Slab insurance: optional but recommended for any Pop worth >$100 graded.

Concierge submission services (Popinspect Bulk plan includes this): we pre-fill the grader's submission forms, batch-ship, and track. Free for Bulk plan customers; ~$5-10/Pop standalone.

Mis-submissions: this is where most collectors lose money. A bad call costs $25 + 6 weeks + a documented bad grade on the population report. The avoidable cost is the most expensive cost — which is exactly what Popinspect's $1.98 pre-grade eliminates.

FAQ · funko pop grading prices

Asked & answered.

How much does it cost to grade a Funko Pop?

$20-25 per Pop at the economy tier at PSA / CGC / Beckett, plus $15-30 round-trip shipping. Express tiers run $50-100/Pop. Bulk submissions of 10-25+ Pops get 10-15% discounts.

What's the cheapest Funko Pop grading service?

CGC at $23/Pop economy, then PSA at $20 (Pop Economy), then Beckett at $25. But the cheapest path overall is to NOT submit Pops that won't grade well — a single avoided $25 mistake pays for ~12 Popinspect pre-grades.

Are there discounts for submitting many Funko Pops at once?

Yes — PSA, CGC, and Beckett all offer 10-15% bulk discounts at 10-25+ Pops. Popinspect's Bulk credit pack ($349 / 250 credits at $1.40 each) includes concierge submission that batches your Pops into a single shipment to your grader of choice.

Where do I send Funko Pops for grading?

PSA: Newport Beach, CA. CGC: Sarasota, FL. Beckett: Plano, TX. Each requires their own submission form with declared values. Concierge services (including Popinspect's Bulk plan) handle the paperwork, packaging, and shipping for you.

Do I need a custom grading case for my Funko Pop?

No — the grading house slabs the Pop into their own case as part of the service. The slab IS the case. You don't need to provide anything except the Pop in protective packaging for shipping.

Is Popinspect an official grader?

No. We are pre-grade intelligence — we predict what CGC, Beckett, SWAU, VVGS, or PGS are likely to grade your Pop. The official grade still comes from them. We just make sure you only ship the ones worth shipping. See our 47-point rubric →
