Graded Cards

About Graded Cards

A graded card is three things at once: an authentication, a condition grade, and a tamper-evident holder. That combination is why slabbed cards trade at a premium and why they are far easier to sell than raw cards — the buyer does not have to trust your photographs.

We sell across all four major graders. PSA carries the strongest resale premium on English Pokémon and vintage sports. BGS still leads on modern autographs and subgrades. CGC is the value and speed choice, and the only major grader that slabs sealed product. SGC's black insert remains the collector favourite for vintage baseball.

Every listing shows the grader, the numeric grade, and the certification number so you can pull the card up on the grader's public population report before you commit. If a slab ever fails verification, we refund it in full.

Graded Cards — Frequently Asked Questions

How do I verify a graded card is real?

Enter the certification number from the label into the grader's public cert lookup. It returns the card, set, year, and grade on file. If the details do not match the listing, the slab has been tampered with. Every card we sell verifies cleanly.

Which grader holds value best?

PSA on English Pokémon and vintage sports; BGS on modern autographs where subgrades matter; CGC on Japanese Pokémon and sealed product; SGC on vintage baseball. The right grader depends on the card, which is why we submit to all four.

Are these cards authentic?

Yes. Every graded card is sold in its original, untampered PSA, BGS, CGC, or SGC holder and can be verified against the grader's public population report using the certification number printed on the label. Raw singles are hand-checked by our team before listing. If a card ever fails authentication, we refund it in full.
