Authentication and grading
CGC and Funko POP! Stack Authentic services grade Funko boxes. Sealed boxes are essential for value — opened figures lose 60-80% instantly. Convention exclusivity stickers, limited-edition number stamps, and original packaging condition all factor into grade. Beware reproductions of older convention exclusives — the Stan Lee chrome variants and SDCC exclusives are commonly faked.
