Grading your TCG cards and trading cards

Today, we want to talk to you about grading or rating TCG cards and trading cards.

Grading cards or rating cards or collectible trading cards are different ways of referring to the process of evaluating and protecting a collectible card or trading card in a sealed and tamper-proof case by a specialised company.

Why grade your trading cards and collectible cards?

Objective assessment of the card condition carried out by an independent and specialised company. Double evaluation using advanced technical methods.
Protection of the state of preservation. The case provides protection against ultraviolet rays, impacts, scratches, and other incidents. It prevents unwanted accidents.
It ensures the authenticity of the card and minimises subjective perceptions about its state. It provides buyers and sellers ease, allowing them to complete transactions without having to physically inspect the condition of the item.
Recording and traceability. Registration in our database makes guile more difficult and allows us to maintain a record.
Market value. High grades are usually strongly valued among collectors.

Now we are going to describe the process and give some recommendations:

Assessment and rating:

Detailed analysis and points to consider:

Corners: We examine the corners, analysing their shape and cut. We evaluate consistency, cut, angles, and any potential marks that may be observed.
Surface: The surface is analysed in detail using the appropriate technical equipment. Glossiness, colours, imperfections, stains, micro-scratches or any other issues will be detected and evaluated.
Centering: We take precise measurements to score the level of centering on the card.
Edges: We study the edges to detect and evaluate stains, bumps, touch-ups and irregularities

To achieve the best results, it’s important to do a pre-grading. Please check the condition of the cards before sending them to us.
