Pre-grading

Do you want to send your cards to PSA, BGS, or CGC, but you're not sure if they'll get that coveted ten? Sending them blindly is a risk and a cost that can be easily avoided.

Our Pregrading service is a thorough verification of your card's condition before you decide on paid grading. We check every detail under specialized lighting and magnification so you know exactly where you stand.

What exactly do we check?

Centering: We measure the proportions of the borders on the front and back of the card.

Edges: We look for microscopic chips, fraying, or uneven cuts.

Corners: We assess the sharpness of the edges and the presence of any bends or "white corners."

Surface: We analyze the card for scratches, dents, factory printing defects, or fingerprints.
