Toys BBTS Levels Up: New CAS Graded Items + Relaunched Mint & Mint Pro Grades Now Live!

BigBadToyStore just dropped a huge upgrade for anyone who cares about mint-in-box perfection (and we know most of you do). Here’s the quick summary of what they announced today:

Official Partnership with Collector Archive Services (CAS)
You can now buy CAS Graded & Cased Transformers (and other lines) directly on BBTS.com.

• Independently graded by CAS
• Sealed in tamper-proof, archival-quality display cases
• Each comes with a unique CAS certificate
• More graded stock rolling out in the coming weeks

Perfect if you want the absolute best-of-the-best for display or long-term value.2. BBTS Relaunches Their Own In-House Packaging Grades
They’ve refreshed the names and doubled down on quality:

• BBTS Mint (formerly Standard Grade)
  The new industry benchmark. Every item is carefully inspected, wrapped in ¾-inch bubble, and shipped in a custom reinforced box for 360° protection.
• BBTS Mint Pro (formerly Collector Grade)
  Virtually flawless packaging.
  • Hand-inspected and verified by two team members
  • Individually poly-bagged to prevent scuffs
  • Double-boxed for shipping
    Basically the “ready for CAS submission” tier.

Every order is still backed by the BBTS Triple Guarantee: Top Tier Condition. Ultimate Protection. Legendary Service.Whether you’re hunting Legacy, Studio Series, third-party, or vintage reissues, you now have three clear tiers to choose from depending on how minty you need your boxes.Check out the full details and start shopping the new CAS and Mint Pro sections here:

People still care about this?

I still see a lot of people who want things graded. Personally I just throw boxes away

Even without my current financial problems, I would rather pay less for a damaged box. Especially something vintage. If it's something vintage, I absolutely do not want it perfectly mint in box because I don't want to feel like I "ruined" it.
