RKT Grading is based in the UK. Here's why duelists choose us instead of shipping cards overseas and waiting months.
Yu-Gi-Oh grading has its own quirks. 1st Edition vs Unlimited identification, starlight and ghost rare verification, and 25 years of different print runs. Our team handles every era from Legend of Blue Eyes to the latest core set.
Our grading technology scores centering, edges, surface and print quality the same way on every card. Whether it's a common from a starter deck or a starlight rare worth thousands, the process is identical.
Your cards never leave the UK. No customs charges, no import VAT and no 3-6 month waits. Cards come back in 2-10 working days.
Every slab has an NTAG 213 NFC chip linked to the card's certificate. Tap your phone to verify the grade is legit. No app required.

Yes. We grade all editions including 1st Edition, Limited Edition, and Unlimited. 1st Edition cards are clearly identified on the slab label.
We grade every rarity - common, rare, super rare, ultra rare, secret rare, ghost rare, starlight rare, collector's rare, ultimate rare, and all other variants.
2-10 working days depending on your chosen edition. Compare that to 3-6 months with US-based grading services.
We use the industry-standard 1-10 scale with half-point increments. Argent and Imperator editions include four sub-grades: Centering, Edges, Surface, and Print Quality.
Every RKT slab contains an NTAG 213 NFC chip linked to the card's certificate. Simply tap your phone to the slab to instantly verify the grade against RKT's records. No app is needed - it works with any NFC-enabled smartphone.
All from £12 per card with the same NFC-verified slabs and fast UK turnaround.
