Our Service

We offer fast, accurate grading services for Sports Cards, and trading cards. We specialize in grading modern cards over 1980.

Our Grading Process

Send us an inquiry without obligation. You will receive an order number. Afterwards you bring the cards to our point of sale stores . We take care of the rest.

Before we start with the card evaluation, we record the condition upon arrival. This way, any possible transport damage can be reported to the shipping service provider. Good to know: Your cards are insured during your entire stay with us!

For the overall evaluation, we take a close look at your card. Every "little thing" like the condition of corners or edges has an impact on the rating. After a thorough appraisal, the card receives a rating according to our Grading scale.

After the evaluation, the determined data is stored in a database. Each card is given a serial number, which means that the stored data can be called up at any time.

Each card receives an acrylic grading case and bumper protector. It offers optimal protection and is considered a seal of quality

After the card is graded, it will be shipped the same day. Return shipping is free for you from 30 gradings. Grading service takes maximum 10-15 business days depending on the service.
