Why Professionally Grade Your Collection?
There are several reasons collectors choose professional grading.
Authentication
Professional grading companies can authenticate eligible collectibles, providing collectors with additional confidence in what they own.
Condition
A standardized grade provides an independent assessment of a collectible's condition according to the grading company's applicable standards.
Protection
Many professionally graded collectibles are encapsulated in protective holders designed to help protect them during storage, handling and display.
Collectibility
Some collectors simply prefer professionally graded collectibles. Slabs can make collections easier to organize, protect and display.
Marketability
Professional grading can make certain collectibles easier for buyers and sellers to evaluate because the item has been authenticated and assigned a standardized grade.
Grading does not guarantee that a collectible will increase in value, so collectors should consider the item's condition, desirability, potential value and grading costs before submitting.
Should I Grade My Card?
This is one of the most common questions we hear from collectors.
There isn't one answer that applies to every card.
Before grading, consider:
-
Current condition
-
Raw market value
-
Potential graded market value
-
Rarity
-
Collector demand
-
Age
-
Personal significance
-
Grading costs
-
Your reason for grading
A card doesn't necessarily need to be extremely valuable to be worth grading.
Sometimes collectors grade an item simply because it has personal significance and they want it authenticated, protected and preserved.
If you're unsure, bring your card or collectible into Vaulted Icons and talk to our team.
