- Tamper-evident holder. Sealed at the seam so any attempt to open the case is visible.
- Verifiable certificate. Each card maps to a unique record you can check online.

A bit about us
Built by collectors, for collectors.
UK-founded, USA-backed
Our headquarters in Huddersfield, UK and our grading operations in the USA give us a transatlantic footprint that lets us serve collectors and partners across both regions with consistent standards.

What People Say
Trusted by collectors across the UK & USA
Fantastic Service
“Fantastic Service. Communication with Kieran via the Discord is brilliant and he is always happy to help and lend his experience, knowledge and advice. Graded 3 cards and all 3 came back in great packaging, beautiful slabs and in a timescale I cannot complain about in comparison to sending to American companies. Got a 2nd batch ready to go and will continue to use GetGraded for all mine and my sons cards....need to get onto doing comics ASAP!”
