RKT Grading was founded in 2022 in Chesterfield, Derbyshire. The idea was simple: UK collectors shouldn't have to send their cards to America, wait three to six months, pay customs duties on the way back, and then hope the grades are consistent.
We set out to build a grading service that solves those problems directly. Cards stay in the UK. Turnaround is measured in days, not months. Pricing is transparent and starts at £12 per card. Technology-assisted measurements and grader review help us apply our condition standards consistently.
That last part matters more than most people think. Inconsistency is the biggest complaint collectors have about traditional grading. Two identical-looking cards submitted at different times can come back with different grades. We built our system specifically to eliminate that.
THE RKT DIFFERENCE
Our system analyses every card across centering, edges, surface, and print quality. Consistent results, every time.
Every slab has an NTAG 213 NFC chip. Tap your phone to verify a grade is genuine. No app required.
Every grade we issue is recorded in a searchable public database. Full transparency on grade distributions.
Technology handles condition. Humans handle authenticity. Two different jobs, each done by whoever does them best.
