How many cards?

    Send us your cards and get them back sealed, graded, and permanently on the record.

    Every card is examined under controlled lighting for surface, corners, edges, and centering. Each of those four gets its own subgrade, so you see the reasoning behind the number instead of just the number.

    From there it's encapsulated in a sonically sealed case with a laser-engraved label — the grade and cert number cut into the label itself, not printed on paper behind plastic. Nothing to fade, peel, or forge.

    The moment it's sealed, your card gets a certification record anyone can look up on our site. Grade, subgrades, card details, and the grader's notes, live forever.

    Pricing is per card. Set the quantity to the number of cards you're sending, pick your service level, and check out. We'll email your submission ID and packing slip.

    Add one card at a time. Year, set, player, card number — e.g. 2023 Topps Chrome Julio Rodríguez #145.

    Speeds up intake and cuts down on mistakes.

    Questions

    Before you ship

    How does shipping work?
    One $14.99 shipping charge per submission covers both directions. We email you a prepaid label within 1-6 hours after checkout — print it, tape it on, and drop the package off. Once your cards are graded and slabbed we ship them back to you insured. Nothing to pay at the counter, nothing to pay on the return.
    Do I need an account?
    No. Check out as a guest and we'll email your submission ID and prepaid shipping label.
    What if I send more cards than I paid for?
    We'll grade what you paid for and invoice the difference before returning the rest.
    Can I add cards after checking out?
    Yes, as long as your package hasn't shipped. Reply to your confirmation email.
