Grading Prep Bootcamp

A hands-on clinic on what graders actually look for. Bring up to five raw cards and we will walk them through centering, surface, edges and corners under a loupe before you commit them to a submission.

Our team covers pre-grade preparation end to end: choosing the right inner sleeve, seating a card in a semi-rigid holder without pressure marks, and packing a submission so it survives the courier. Bring a card you are unsure about — the honest verdict is the point of the session.

What to Expect:

• Loupe Station: Centering and surface checks on your own cards, one-on-one with our team.
• Submission Clinic: Sleeve, semi-rigid and packing walkthrough for PSA and Beckett submissions.
• Grade Estimates: A candid read on which cards are worth submitting and which are not.
