RARITY · VAULTED POPS
Vaulted Funko Pops — worth grading?
Vaulted Pops (production discontinued) have a fixed supply — every year, mint examples get rarer as they're opened or damaged. Grading vaulted Pops at 9.5+ usually pays off.
Why grading vaulted Pops makes sense
Fixed supply — production is over. Every year, mint examples decrease.
Factory plastic authentication — graders confirm the shrink-wrap is original and unopened, which buyers pay a premium for on vaulted Pops.
Population report effect — being among the documented 9.5+ examples of a vaulted SKU is a permanent value multiplier.
