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.

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: Common

Sneak Peek: This pin will debut at Le Gala in Paris, France, in April 2025, before its wide release at Fanatics Fest NYC on June 20-22, 2025. CGC 1 is the lowest grade you can get on a card, and while some may think this isn't great, many collectors get a kick out of receiving a Poor grade on their favorite cards.

Rarity: Variant
