Why Choose Us?

Unmatched quality control, advanced equipment & software to ensure pin point accuracy grading and service. No biased, severely subjective opinions, just grading.

Precision

We use an assisted software when grading your collectibles, there is no subjectivity, bias or room for error. Our software helps us with Centering score and finding abnormalities/damage on a card easier. This allows for authentically unbiased results, accurate precise grading with consistency. In addition to this, our graders ensure quality control and authenticity by overlooking the card with various equipment that includes forensics lighting, scopes, over head lamps and more. This allows us to stay consistent across the board, having the card(s) go through multiple stages. Even with laser scanning, you can not bypass the true form of holding, feeling and seeing a card with human interaction. We believe this is paramount to ensure accurate grading.

Live Pop Report

We have one of the most highly advanced live pop report systems, setting a new industry standard that includes high resolution photos of your graded card(s) *as they happen*. Along side detailed information from sub grades, how many were graded higher, even the date that your card(s) was graded! Not to mention details about each sub grade and any defects we may have found.

Streamlined Submissions

Our easy to use, simplistic online submission forms are next generation. Providing you with easy to follow subsets, making it easier than ever before to submit cards. No longer will you have to manually fill out hand written forms or extra set information. Instead, fill out a short, simple online form and be on your way. We handle the rest!

Frequently Asked Questions

Got a question? We've got answers. If you have some other questions, see our support center.

Do you guarantee your turn around times?
Turn around times are estimates only and times may vary. However, we do have a system implemented into our submission portal that allows us to pause certain turn around times once we hit a certain threshold. It does this automatically and will also automatically re-open once we get below a specific threshold. This ensures we do not get overwhelmed with orders and can stay on top of our turn around times as much as possible.
Can I submit all of my cards together if they have different service tiers or would they need to be submitted separately?
Each service level and type of submission will need to be submitted separately in terms of our online form with their own submission form and charges. However, you may ship all of these submissions to us in the same box, bearing in mind that they will have to be shipped back separately because of different turn arounds. Please make sure you are printing each packaging slip for each tier in the same box.
In regards to the holder, what does "tamper-evident" mean?
Tamper-evident means that if someone does attempt to violate the holder, it will leave some evidence that the holder has been compromised. There are different ways that the holder will show evidence. One way the VGA holder may show tampering is what is commonly referred to as "frosting" along the edges where the clear plastic starts to exhibit a cloudy or some what pitch white appearance. In some cases, you can actually see minor fractures or cracks in the plastic as a result of the violation. This occurs when the sonic weld is broken and can be seen in various degrees.
What type of cards can I submit?
