Graded Other

Key points about card grading:

Increased value:
A high grade from a reputable grading company significantly boosts a card's market value compared to an ungraded card.

Third-party verification:
Grading companies act as an impartial authority, ensuring the condition of the card is accurately assessed, eliminating the need to rely solely on the seller's description.

Protection from damage:

Once a card is graded, it is encapsulated in a plastic case, protecting it from further wear and tear. 

Market transparency:
Grading allows collectors to compare similar cards across the market based on their assigned grades, making pricing more standardized.
