The process
How PCG Grading Works
Risk $1, not your card's value. Send your cards, find out the grade, and only pay to slab the grades you love.
Four simple steps
A risk-free, $1 path from raw to remarkable.
Getting your card graded with PCG takes four steps — and you risk only $1 to find out what it's really worth.

We grade them for $1 per card
Our graders evaluate the four things every card is judged on — centering, corners, edges, and surface — and report back the grade each card received. If a card came in under a 10, we include photo evidence of exactly what held it back.

You decide
Like the grade? We'll label and slab it — $15 for a PCG 10, $10 for anything below. Don't like it? We return everything as we received it, using your prepaid label, at no additional charge.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions.
We work through every submission carefully — centering, corners, edges, and surface on each card, plus photo evidence on anything below a 10. You'll hear from us the moment your grades are ready, with no need to check a portal or chase an update.
There's no minimum — send a single card or a stack. It's $1 per card to grade either way, with no declared-value tiers or volume requirements to clear before you submit.
You pay only the $1-per-card grading fee, and we ship your cards back exactly as we received them using your prepaid return label.
No. Our fee is the same for every card regardless of its value — $1 to grade, and a flat $10–$15 to slab if you choose to.
Yes. We include photo evidence of any flaw — centering, a soft corner, an edge nick, a surface mark — so you can see exactly what we saw.
