How we grade

Every card is scored on four things, then given one overall grade from 1 to 10.

Centering

How evenly the artwork sits within the borders, front and back.

Corners

Sharpness of all four corners, checked for wear, dings, and fraying.

Edges

Clean, smooth edges with no chipping, whitening, or roughness.

Surface

Scratches, print lines, dents, and stains that affect the face or back.

How it works

Four steps from your collection to a certified slab.

  1. Submit online

  2. Pack and mail

    Sleeve each card, protect it in a semi-rigid holder, and ship with tracking.

  3. We grade

    Each card is inspected, graded, and sealed in a labeled slab.

  4. Get it back

    Your graded cards ship back to you with a cert number on the label.
