Sorry, at this point in time we are only accepting cards from Australia. However we do hope to expand this in the future, so stay posted.
We only grade Pokemon, DBS & Metazoo TCG cards both English or Japanese. We hope to expand this in the future.
Grading can take anywhere from 5 business days once we receive your cards to 40 business days depending on what tier you select when submitting your cards. We will always strive to have them back to you as quickly as possible.
If your cards cannot be graded due to any of the reasons (listed HERE at the bottom of the page), then your cards will be sent back in their sleeves and card savers with the rest of your order.
Sorry at this time we won’t be grading autographed cards.
Right now we do not offer this service but hope to in the near future. We would encapsulate your card without a grade, this could be for a special custom made or altered card, or to just preserve that special card where grade is not a priority.
No. We do not offer a cleaning service, so be sure your cards are clean from dust, dirt etc before sleeving them and sending them in. We use gloves when grading your cards to ensure your cards remain in the condition we received them in.
Your cards will be kept in our secure building, locked up in a fireproof safe. Your cards are insured while they are kept with us.
Please see Our Services page for details.
We currently do not offer a re-grading/re-slabing service, due to the risk involved when cracking cases that can lead to card damage. If you want to crack your own cases open then we are happy to grade the cards fo you.
