Get Ready to Chase! Find CGC-graded Cards in Mystery Boxes at Walmart

CGC is excited to share that CGC-certified cards are coming to Walmart through MJ Holding’s line of blind boxes! Starting now, collectors in North America and Canada can grow their collection of CGC-certified TCGs and sports cards through this price-conscious option, all while experiencing the thrill of the chase that comes with opening standard packs and boxes.

As of May 2025, Walmart shoppers will be able to find the Mystery Gems blind boxes in the store’s TCG section. These boxes will contain 1 CGC-certified Pokémon card and one booster pack. Look for a CGC-certified Pokémon card on the front of the box — what will you find when you pick one up? Who knows, but it could be a rare card graded CGC Pristine 10!
