Card selection is very important; no matter how much we love a card, don’t allow that to interfere with your decision to grade it: 1) Check the centering. I recommend purchasing a card centering tool prior to subbing your cards to me or a directly to the grader. 2) Use a microfiber cloth and wipe you cards carefully to remove any loose build up or debris from the surface. Additionally, roll up some masking tape and dab the edges of your card carefully. 3) Purchase an LED light and review your cards at different angles to check for hard to see surface discrepancies. 4) Set realistic expectations, earning a Gem grade is not easy and be prepared for the possibility of a lesser grade.

Immediately remove the card from its current sleeves, wipe it carefully with a microfiber cloth, use a masking tape to gently dab the edges for loose debris, and reinsert them into fresh sleeves.

Yes, we accept vintage card submissions.

No, cards are evaluated based on my opinion and experience with the grading companies. Grading companies evaluate each card based on their condition and appearance to determine their grade. It should be noted that each grading company is unique in their scale. The 4 factors are: 1) Centering 2) Surface (Front and Back) 3) Edges 4)Corners Although these 4 criteria have minimum standards, the process is subjective to the individual that is grading and the results can vary. (Please reach out to The On Deck Tech for more specifics).

The manufacturer is the company that produced the card i.e.. Topps, Panini, Bowman, Upper Deck

SP stands for Short Print. Sometimes cards are a limited print or they may have serial numbers such as 1/25, 3/49 etc..

This is number found on the back of the card that identifies which number it is in the set. It may consists of both numbers and letters. For example CPA-JS or MV-8

This the minimum grade that you would accept upon completion of the grading process. This help's me to assess your card during the evaluation phase and determine whether or not this card should be moved into the preparation phase. You decide this number but we can provide guidance.
