for factory sealed packaged items released prior to 2000
Item Classification
DCA Items are classified as either Standard Size or Custom. Check our Category Examples for a list of custom vs. standard size items.
Standard sizes include most common size action figures from popular toy lines. Items that do not qualify as standard size should be submitted under the custom tiers.
Custom items are priced based on the size of the item. Measure the height, width, and depth of an item in inches and add them together to find the sum of the 3 sides.
