Grading
What is
Grading?
Služba Grading kontroluje celkový stav karty pomocí forenzních přístrojů a rovněž kontroluje pravost, centrování, padělání a jakékoli známky restaurování.
Po pečlivém vyhodnocení je kartě přiděleno skóre na základě našich standardů hodnocení a je zapečetěna do vysoce kvalitního plastového obalu se štítkem, na kterém je uvedena známka, sériové číslo a číslo certifikátu pro budoucí korespondenci a ověření.

Frequently asked questions FAQ
Grading cards provides an evaluation of your collection. It is a mark of authenticity and a reflection of the actual condition. Last but not least, the card is protected against damage and other effects of wear.
We currently grade collectible cards like Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, hockey, football, Formula 1, basketball, or baseball. A card is only ever graded if it is part of a production run by a reputable company and is sufficiently documented.
At the moment we only rate cards.
No. Our slab can hold a card with a maximum size of 6.4cm (width), 9cm (height) and 0.7mm (thickness).
In both cases, your card is graded and given a final grade including sub- grades. With Pre-Grading, your card is then hard-sleeved and sent back, whereas with Grading it is also sealed in a plastic slab.
Unfortunately, we do not offer only card verification at this point. However, you can order a Pre-Grading service where your card will not only be verified, but also grade with the final grade without being sealed in a plastic slab.
Cards are only returned without a final grade if they are counterfeit, torn, restored, cut or destroyed in such a way that it is not possible to clearly verify which card they are.
Our graders are our colleagues who have been carefully selected and trained to spot the slightest defect on your card. You can rest assured that your card is in capable hands.

You must create an order before you can send your card. Then it is important to wrap the card carefully, ideally first in an inner sleeve and then in a classic plastic sleeve (hard sleeve). We also recommend wrapping the cards with bubble wrap or at least placing them between two thicker layers of cardboard and tying them with a rubber band. Put everything in a box, stamp it with the code from the email and send it to our address. This way you can prevent the packaging or the card from being damaged in transit and it will be returned to you in the same condition.
Yes. However, first you have to create an order on our website.
No. How many cards you send is entirely up to you.
Yes. You will receive an email once your order has arrived to us. The same applies once the card is graded and the order is packaged and shipped back. This gives you a clear overview of the entire process.
For each service, we offer a total of three different options, which vary in price, amount of insurance coverage and turnaround time.
Only the so-called AUTO cards can be sent. These cards are guaranteed by the manufacturer to be the player's real signature. Otherwise we are not able to verify the authenticity of the signature.
Grading prices are the same for all types of cards regardless of their value.
Our staff are trained to identify fake cards. They use forensic equipment to do this and are therefore confident that they will be detected and returned with the appropriate markings.
