How an item is graded
Items are graded on their overall condition — the more "perfect" an item is, the higher the grade. Companies look at four main points:
Print quality and finish. Scratches, print lines, indents, scuffs — anything visible on the surface under bright light.
All four corners are inspected for whitening, fraying, dings, or rounded edges. Even a tiny ding can drop the grade.
Cleanness of the edges along the long and short sides. Looking for chipping, whitening, or wear from handling.
How perfectly the artwork sits within the borders, front and back. Often the deciding factor between a 9 and a 10.

Your submission in 5 simple steps
Add your items one by one through our wizard. Search the TCGplayer database or upload your own photo, and pick a service level per item. The total updates live as you go.
Standard checkout. Choose "Collect" or "Ship back" — this only affects how your items come home.
Drop them off, or ship via PostNet / Aramex / Courier Guy. We recommend our GradeIT semi-rigid sleeves so we can send your items as you sent them.
Each month goes to a different grading company. Most submissions return in around 90 days (PSA and CGC have been faster lately).
If you chose collection, we'll let you know when they arrive. If you chose shipping, we send them back insured. USA returns add 17% customs and R45/item shipping.

Monthly grading rotation
We send to a different grading company each month. Make sure to get your submission in before the cutoff for the company you want.
Every third PSA month opens all PSA service categories — TCG, Value Max, Sports, Autographs, Jumbos, Coins, Magazines/Comics, and Vintage TCGs.
USA returns — customs & shipping
When items come back from a USA-based grading company we add a flat 17% customs charge and R45 shipping per item. Those amounts are calculated at checkout — no surprise bills later.
- +17% customs (calculated on declared value)
- +R45 shipping per item
How to pack your items
For the safest journey, send each card in a penny sleeve inside a semi-rigid card holder. Comics, games and other collectables are welcome in their usual bag/board or protective case. We strongly recommend our own GradeIT semi-rigids — when you use them, we don't repack your items at all and they go directly to the grader.
Don't have any? No problem — we'll re-pack into a fresh penny sleeve + semi-rigid on arrival.
