Why Grade With UCG?
Authenticity you can check
Every slab carries a cert number. Anyone can type it in and see the card and grade we gave it.
Three graders per card
Each card is examined by three graders working separately. The label shows the grade they agree on.
A case built to last
Sealed, tamper-evident holders that keep the card visible and protected.
