Why Choose a UK Card Grading Service?
Sending cards to the US is expensive and slow. Grading in the UK means no customs, less risk and your cards back much faster.
No Customs or Import Duties
Cards stay in the UK. No customs charges, no VAT on reimport, no expensive international postage. That alone saves £10-20+ per submission.
Fast Turnaround
2-10 working days vs 3-6 months with international services. Your graded cards come back in days, not seasons.
Grading Consistency
Our grading technology removes human subjectivity. The same card gets the same grade every time. No resubmission lottery.

Every slab has an NTAG 424 DNA NFC chip with a cryptographic signature that can't be cloned. Tap your phone to verify the grade is legit. No app required.
