The Card Grading Journey: From Submission to Certification

Start by comparing grading companies based on your card type, budget, and timeline needs. Each service has different strengths and market recognition.

Create an account, fill out submission forms, and carefully package your cards according to specific guidelines provided by your chosen grading service.

Send your cards using recommended shipping methods with insurance and tracking. Most services require specific packaging materials and procedures.

Professional graders examine your cards for authenticity, condition, and assign numerical grades based on established criteria and standards.

Graded cards are sealed in tamper-evident holders with labels showing the grade and unique certification numbers, then shipped back to you.
