FAQ:
Why CGC, PSA, or Beckett? Why not <other company>? We've been using these grading companies reliabily for a few years now. We have buisness accounts, and thus we know how to handle each company's respective shipping / grading policies.
I'm going to just turn around and sell my slabs at the store, do you mind? Not at all! There's a robust market for slabs (and we also buy / trade in them). We also have a fair number of folks that want to slab their nostalgic cards, regardless of whatever score they get back.
Regrades? As of 7/27/23 - CGC is going away with sub grades and the 9.5 scores. They have stated that any card that is sent back at a 9.5 will be regraded as a 10. Alternatively, if you find the slab cracked, or tampered with, they will clean and reslab the card for the same price.
Why can't I do this by myself? Go for it! A few reasons to go with us: We eat the cost of the annual retailer account fees, thus get our orders out a little bit faster than the 'free' accounts, we split shipping among those wanting graded cards, and we handle the paperwork and offer double insurance just in case anything goes wrong.
Oh no! <Catastrophic Event Happened Here>, how can I get my cards back? Like previously stated, we are double insured. If anything were to happen to your items going out, we would offer to fully reimburse or find replacements. If anything were to happen coming back, we will do our due diligence to fully reimburse based upon the market value of the grades, or find replacements. However, with how scarce some particular graded items can be, we would often try to offer reimbursement first.
Where are my cards? Please note cards are sent in at the end of the month, and can require up to 90 business days from the date of receipt to be graded before being sent back. For that reason, we often tell people to expect a 4 month wait. If there are any questions or concerns past the expected date, please feel free to reach out to koboldkeep@gmail.com!
Can I get <not card, comic, weird shaped object> graded? Please let us know what it is and we'll do our research! Please note that the prices would be highly variable, and that the grading company choices may be severely limited.
