PROCESS

At our grading facility, each card is handled with the utmost care and caution from the moment of intake. Our graders follow a detailed checklist considering factors such as age, material quality, cutting precision, and overall wear. The surface condition and color are also critically evaluated. Older cards graded slightly differently to account for their unique characteristics. Once the checklist is complete and a thorough examination is made under magnification, a numerical grade is assigned. The graded card is then securely encased in a durable protective case, recorded in our online database, and promptly mailed back to the customer.
