Ember Sigil Charizard holo rare Pokemon card being reviewed before grading submission

Grading starts with evidence. We photograph front and back on intake so you can judge centering, edges and surface before paying submission fees.

You choose the service level in the dashboard and we prepare the submission, handle the courier leg to the grader and keep the request visible in your service log the whole time.

Returned slabs re enter your inventory as in house items with the grade recorded, and they stay insured while stored.

When you ship, slabs travel in bubble wrap plus a braced carton. We recommend full declared value insurance for anything graded 9 or above.
