Process
How Grading Works
Get in Touch
Email us or drop into the Belfast store to start a submission. Tell us what you have and which grading service you are considering.
Free Pre-Screen
We assess each card honestly. If a grade is not realistic or the value will not justify grading, we will tell you before you pay.
Secure Submission
We package, document and submit your cards to your chosen grading partner, with a fully photographed chain of custody.
Graded & Returned
Once graded and returned, we hand your slabs back in store or arrange insured shipping — with sell or hold guidance if you want it.
