Grading prep

Prepare your card for PSA grading

Grading is expensive, and presentation matters. We clean, flatten and de-bend your card first, so it goes into the slab looking its best.

PSA, BGS and CGC grade on centering, corners, edges and surface. You can't change the print, but a card covered in grime, curled at the edges or marked by residue will present worse than it needs to. We prepare cards before you submit, cleaning and flattening the fixable issues, while being completely honest about what grading will and won't reward.

How we prepare a card

  • Surface cleaned so scans read the true card
  • Warps and bends corrected so it sits flat
  • Residue and fingerprints removed
  • Graded slab cracked first if you're re-submitting a raw card
  • Clear, honest view of what's achievable before you pay to grade
