Accurate & Reliable Card Grading Service

Ready to increase your card value? Gold Standard Metrics provides comprehensive trading card grading. Our experts guarantee meticulous assessment and reliable results for your entire collection.

Card Intake & Registration

Once your cards arrive at our facility, each one is carefully logged and matched to your account using our secure digital tracking system. This ensures complete transparency and peace of mind from start to finish. Every card receives its own unique identification code, allowing you to easily follow its progress throughout the grading process.

Secure Storage

Before grading begins, your cards are stored safely in our climate-controlled vault. The environment is carefully regulated to maintain ideal temperature and humidity levels, protecting your collectibles from any potential damage. Our vault is also monitored 24/7, ensuring that your cards remain safe, secure, and untouched until it’s time for grading.

Professional Handling Standards

We handle every card with the same level of care and respect that you would yourself. Our team uses only soft cotton gloves during the entire process, preventing any oils, fingerprints, or accidental marks from coming into contact with your cards. Every step is carried out with precision to ensure your items remain in pristine condition.

Advanced Grading Process

Our grading system combines cutting-edge technology with expert human oversight to ensure fairness, accuracy, and consistency.

  • AI Pre-Screening: Each card is first scanned using advanced artificial intelligence to detect even the smallest imperfections.
  • Expert Style Review: A grading specialist examines the card based on its specific set, design, and production details.
  • High-Magnification Inspection: A senior grader inspects the card under 1600x magnification to examine the surface, edges, corners, and print quality in minute detail.

Final Review & Slabbing

After the grading process is complete, all data collected is reviewed to determine your card’s final grade. Once graded, each card is securely sealed within an official GSM slab, featuring a label displaying the card’s grade and a unique certification number for authenticity verification.

Secure Return Shipping

When grading is complete, your cards are carefully packaged using protective materials to prevent movement or damage during transit. We ship your graded cards back to you via the postage service selected at checkout, ensuring they arrive safely.
