How it works

From your hands to a certified slab.

Every card follows the same documented process — logged, authenticated, graded by trained human graders, sealed, and returned by shipping to your address with a verifiable certificate.

The process

01

Submit & Drop Off

Create your submission online, pay, then securely pack and drop off your cards with the packing slip at our collection partner.

Collection and delivery are handled with our collection partner.

02

Arrival & Research

Cards are unboxed under surveillance, logged, and researched.

03

Authentication & Grading

Trained human graders assign whole-number sub-grades for Centering, Corners, Edges, and Surface. The geometric mean determines the overall grade.

04

Imaging & Sealing

High-res photography, then sonically sealed in a UV-resistant slab.

05

QA & Return

A final quality-assurance review is completed before you collect in person or we ship your cards back.
