How It Works

From submission to certified slab

Six steps from your doorstep to a graded, encapsulated card with a permanent digital report.

The Process

From Submission to Certified Slab

We grade sports, Pokémon, and TCG. Six steps. 14-day turnaround. Every card is treated like our own.

01

3 min to complete

Submit Online

Create your account, add cards and submit — no payment until your cards are graded. Done in under 3 minutes.

02

Same-day logging

Cards Received

Every card is individually photographed, logged against your submission ID, and assigned a unique cert tracking number.

03

Scan evidence

Machine Vision Scan

We scan each card and measure centering, corners, edges, and surface with computer vision so the grade is backed by scan evidence.

04

14-day turnaround

Grade & Encapsulate

The locked grading algorithm assigns 4 subgrades and a 1–10 composite score. The card is then ultrasonically welded into a tamper-evident slab with a unique cert ID.

05

Permanent record

Digital Report

A permanent report with scan images, a surface heatmap, corner close-ups, centering measurements, and a subgrade breakdown is published — verifiable by anyone, forever.

06

Tracked return

Shipped Back

Pay your secure link, then we ship and unlock your grades. Choose optional return insurance based on declared value and optional signature service before submitting.

Machine vision

Inspect every surface

High-resolution scans map corners, edges, surface, and centering so every grade is measurable — not subjective.

Centering

Left/right and top/bottom measurements with exact ratios.

Corners & edges

Close-up inspection catches chips, fuzzing, and wear.

Surface

Heatmaps reveal scratches, print spots, and surface variation.

Measured at every stage

A transparent grading workflow

Scan evidence

High-resolution photos in every digital report.
