The Preserved Grade ("P-grade") will allow collectors to submit to CAS a cut card or beater MOC figure, which we will preserve in cases of various size. We will assign a grade only to the figure inside the cut card or beater MOC, and ignore the bubble and card on which the figure resides. This way, collectors have the benefit of 99% UV-resistant acrylic to protect and display these examples, and collectors need not forever alter or destroy what has remained sealed for decades in order for the figure alone to receive a grade.
We will note on the label the toy company, toy line, year released, and figure, as we do for other items. While our labels for our typical toy grades of the entire example has "CAS" in red, green or blue script depending on the grade category, the P-grade will have CAS written in black script, so collectors can easily distinguish them. We will also include the word "Preserved" on the label below the figure grade to indicate that it is a P-grade.
