What is Card Grading?
Card grading is when a professional service checks the condition and authenticity of your trading cards. Each card gets scored on a 1-10 scale, then sealed in a tamper-evident case called a "slab". The grade is printed on the label, so buyers know exactly what they're getting.
Graded cards typically sell for a lot more than raw ones. A Gem Mint 10 can be worth many times what the same card sells for ungraded. Grading also protects your cards physically and gives buyers a trusted, objective condition report they can rely on.
PRECISION GRADING
How Our Grading Technology Works
Our system analyses every card with a level of detail and consistency that removes human subjectivity from condition grading.
Centering Analysis
Pixel-precise measurement of card borders. Our system calculates left/right and top/bottom ratios to determine centering accuracy.
Surface Inspection
Advanced texture analysis detects scratches, print lines, whitening, and surface imperfections invisible to the naked eye.
Edge & Corner Analysis
Every edge and corner is checked for wear, nicks, and damage at a level of detail you can't get with the naked eye.
GRADING STANDARDS
Our Grading Scale
Every card is assessed across four sub-grade categories: Centering, Edges, Surface, and Print Quality. The overall grade is a weighted composite of these scores.
Understanding Card Grading Sub-Grades
Available with Argent and Imperator editions, sub-grades break down the overall grade into four categories so you can see exactly where a card excels or falls short.
Centering
How well-centred the card image is within the borders. Perfect centering means equal border widths on all sides. Even slight off-centering affects the grade.
Edges
The condition of all four edges. Looks for nicks, rough cuts, whitening, and any damage along the card's perimeter.
Surface
The front and back surface condition. Detects scratches, print lines, ink spots, surface creases, and any marks that affect the card's appearance.
Print Quality
The quality of the printing itself. Evaluates colour saturation, registration alignment, and any factory defects in the print process.
