Why You Should Grade Your Pokemon Cards

Best Practices for Protecting Your Collection

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.
