What Does a Graded Card Mean?
The grading process evaluates four key areas: centering, corners, edges, and surface. Our knowledgeable staff can help you identify a card’s potential grade and provide tips for protecting its condition before submission. We can even assist with the packaging process to ensure your cards arrive safely at the grading company. Explore our other great pages, like the one on Grade Pokemon Cards in White Bear Lake.
How to Get Your Cards Ready for Grading
Proper preparation is key to a successful grading submission. We recommend using a combination of penny sleeves, semi-rigid holders, and top loaders to protect your cards during handling and shipping. A clean microfiber cloth can be used to gently wipe down a card’s surface, and our team can show you how to handle your cards to avoid fingerprints and other damage.
