Step 1: Reception and preparation
Once you have decided which cards you want to send, and we have manually approved the order. We will provide you with a shipping sticker and additional info so that the shipment will arrive safely.
When your cards reach us, we start with a thorough visual inspection. This is done together with a video recording to ensure it is your sent card. We check for damages, fake cards and authenticity.
Step 2: Accurate Analysis
Our experts use advanced AI technology and an advanced microscope to analyse each map in minute detail. This technology helps identify the most subtle discrepancies and ensures an objective and consistent assessment.
Our strict guidelines and criteria ensure that your card is assessed according to its true value. Of course, we also realise that a better rating will ensure a higher value for your cards. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee anything in this respect and assess everything according to reality.
Have you sent us a fake card by mistake? If so, we will send it back to you and will not assess it further.
Important criteria we look at include the following:
- Sharpness and original colours
- A well-cut card
- Scratches, dents and other damage
- The ‘centering’ of the card. This means that the edges of the card should be even all around. This is a stricter criterion for the front of the card, than the back.
Step 3: Assessment and certification
After the analysis, the findings are again manually verified by our experts. This double verification ensures that the assessment is accurate and reliable.
The card then receives an official certificate/label with the further information of that specific card. Together with the card, we protect this label from damage and UV radiation by enclosing it in a protective Polycarbonate sleeve.
Step 4: Packaging and Returns
After grading, the card is securely packaged in a (UV) protective shell of Polycarbonate. And for shipping, we put your card in bubble wrap + a sturdy box. We understand how important your collection is, which is why we make sure each card gets back to you in perfect condition.
Our goal is to protect your valuable cards and increase their market value.
