PSA: Professional Sports Authenticator
The world standard
PSA is the most recognised grading service globally. A PSA grade is the gold standard for investment-grade cards: the most trusted, most liquid, and most searched grading label on the secondary market.
MGC: Magic Grading Cards
Fast, UK-based, affordable
MGC is the leading UK and European grading service. Faster turnaround times, lower costs, and no import duties. Ideal for mid-range cards where PSA pricing is not justified.

Is grading worth it for my card?
It depends on the card's value, condition, and your goals. Grading adds cost and time, so it makes sense when the grade is likely to significantly increase the card's value or saleability.
How much does it cost?
PSA standard submissions typically start from around $50 per card plus postage. MGC is more affordable, starting from around £15–£25 per card. We charge a small handling fee for managing the submission.
What condition does my card need to be in?
There is no minimum condition required. Cards can be graded at any grade from 1 to 10. However, grading a card in poor condition rarely adds value. We will advise honestly if submission is not worthwhile.
Can I submit signed cards?
Yes. Both PSA and MGC offer authenticated autograph grading. A signed card with a graded autograph label carries significantly more value and buyer confidence.
Do I need to be local?
No. We accept submissions by post from anywhere in the UK. We'll send you packing instructions to ensure your card arrives safely. For high-value items, use tracked and insured postage.
