Card Grading Pre-Screening
Don't Waste Money on Grades That Won't Come Back
Grading is expensive. A single submission can cost $20–$80+ per card, and if the card comes back lower than expected, that money is gone. Our pre-screening service evaluates your cards before you submit, so you only grade the ones with a real shot.
What We Check
- Surface — Print lines, roller marks, scratches, and imperfections under magnification and raking light
- Corners — Wear, whitening, and bends inspected at 10x magnification
- Edges — Chipping, silvering, and factory cutting issues
- Centering — Precise front and back measurements against BGS/PSA/CGC standards
What You Get
- Detailed condition report for each card
- Honest grade range estimate (e.g., "PSA 9 to 10 candidate" or "PSA 8 at best — not worth grading")
- Specific callouts on every flaw we find, with location
- Recommendation: grade it, sell it raw, or hold it
How It Works
- Your own cards: Ship them to us (or drop off locally). We evaluate and return with a full report.
- Add-on for purchases: Buying singles from us? Add pre-screening at checkout and we'll evaluate before shipping — if a card doesn't meet your standard, we'll let you know before it ships.
