ROSWELL, GA, UNITED STATES, July 15, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Collectible Grading Authority (CGA), the trusted name behind Action Figure Authority (AFA) and Video Game Authority (VGA), today announced the launch of Media Grading Authority (MGA), a new division dedicated to the authentication, grading, encapsulation, and preservation of collectible media.
For over a quarter of a century, CGA has assisted collectors in authenticating, grading, and safeguarding many of the globe’s most cherished collectibles. With the debut of MGA, that same dedication to quality, uniformity, and preservation now reaches one of the hobby’s most rapidly expanding categories.

"Media has become one of the fastest-growing segments of the collectibles market, supported by an incredibly passionate community of collectors," said Tom Derby, Partner of Collectible Grading Authority. "With the launch of Media Grading Authority, we're bringing professional authentication, grading, and museum-quality preservation to a category that has long deserved a dedicated grading service. We've also recruited exceptional talent with deep experience in collectible media to help build and operate this division, ensuring collectors receive the expertise and consistency they expect from CGA."
Every submission receives professional authentication, grading, and encapsulation inside a premium acrylic case handcrafted at CGA's Georgia facility. Each case is custom engineered for its specific media format, delivering outstanding presentation, long‑term protection, and a tamper‑evident design trusted by collectors worldwide.
Collectors can learn more about the new service, review accepted submission categories, and submit items online at MGAGrading.com.

MGA gives collectors a trusted home to authenticate, preserve, and proudly showcase the media that defines their collections."
Since acquiring Collectible Grading Authority in 2025, the ownership team has continued to invest in expanding grading services, enhancing the customer experience, developing new technologies, and growing the company's capabilities while maintaining the trusted standards collectors have relied on for more than 25 years.
