Professional grading review
Declare your cards, choose a kit request or direct mail-in review, and review the proposed provider and customer estimate before arranging intake.

Know the card.
See the evidence.
Prepare the cards you want reviewed, with clear identity details and photos of their condition. Explore the review process and request service details before arranging intake.
Restoration, then grading
Request an assessment of suitable treatment options. Before-and-after evidence, a specific treatment approval, and permanent restoration disclosure stay with the card. A higher grade or another grading provider’s acceptance is never guaranteed.
Request direct mail-in review →Built around an accountable record
Follow the card, not just a number.
Your service request names the proposed provider and separates each decision: quote review, approved intake, custody, treatment approval, evidence, and report review. Professional reports follow evidence review and provider sign-off.
1. Confirm identity and provider
Review the exact card, the provider’s identity and recorded qualifications before approved intake.
2. Preserve the starting condition
Keep the original before-evidence record and track custody events against the same physical card.
3. Decide before treatment
Review the specific proposed treatment and risks. Known and performed restoration remain disclosed.
4. Review the evidence and outcome
Distinguish a preliminary report from an issued professional result and review return arrangements.

Different questions deserve clear answers
Identity
Which card is this?
Player or character, set, card number, language, edition, and print variant help identify the exact card. An unresolved match needs more evidence.
Condition
What can we observe?
Centering, corners, edges, and surface describe condition. Collect provides a preliminary photo-based condition estimate.
Professional review
What has been verified?
A professional result needs the required capture evidence and completed review. The review connects the physical card to its supporting evidence.
