Easy Steps to Elevate Your Collectibles

Come to The SportsRoom to start your submission for Rare Edition grading.
Items are received, catalogued, and stored in our vault until it's time to grade.
Once it's time to grade, we scan your cards and start the grading process through our CV (Computer Vision) system.
Expert graders review the CV data, authenticate the card, and confirm the grade. Your card then moves on to be encased and receive a unique label with all of our security features.
Your item's grade report is created, your cards are packaged up, and sent back to The SportsRoom for you to pay, pick up, and enjoy.
