Grading Process

System is based on a 9 or 10 grade. Cards must meet the following requirements

Each card gets handled with extra care. We will clean remove spots, fingerprints, smooth edges etc if necessary. Our goal is to get your card in our sleeve so you can protect your investment and sell or upgrade with confidence. If your card does not meet requirements, it will be sleeved with description on backside. Example, corner wear, surface fracture, centering, etc.

GEM-MT 10: A Gem Mint 10 card’s attributes include 60/40 or better centering, sharp focus, sharp corners, free of stains, no breaks in surface gloss, and little visible wear. A slight printing imperfection or surface scratch is allowable if it does not detract from the aesthetics of the card. The overall look of the card is calculated in the grade.

MINT 9: A Mint 9 card’s attributes include 60/40 or better centering, sharp focus, and sharp corners. Minor flaws may exist upon close examination. Minor flaws may be, but are not limited to: a slight nick to one corner, a small gloss break or surface scratch, a minor print line or minor refractor line, a minor focus or color imperfection, or a small print spot.

Providing authentication is challenging and not guaranteed due to improved computerized printing. Size requirements for Sports Cards are the standard published size plus or minus 2.5 mm. If the cards fit this criterion, they will be graded.
