What is grading?

Grading cards is  a good way to preserve the condition, enhance your value and establish authenticity. You can declare any TCG, sports and non-sport cards. Beckett will grade you cards in according to its condition. You will receive a final grade with 4 subgrades on each card: Centering, Corners, Edges and Surface. 

The scale goes like this: Black Label 10 Pristine, 10 Pristine, 9.5 Gem Mint, 9 Mint, 9 Near Mint, 7 Near Mint, 6 Excellent Mint, 5 Excellent, 4 Very Good, 3 Very Good, 2 Good, 1 Poor.
