Tiny sounds move really fast like a certain blue hedgehog to keep your card sealed and encapsulated without any gunk or fuss.
Nobody wants faded cards. You intend to keep for a lifetime. Consider our ultraviolet light protection your card's SPF100 sunblock.

Utilizing computer vision and artificial intelligence in our grading, our format allows us to remain consistent and accurate throughout the entire process. IBM has a great write up on the basics of this technology here if you feel like nerding out.
Coupled with the tech, we've also enlisted some of the most seasoned graders who have spent years in the space to ensure every grade remains fair and unbiased.
Our first run will come with perks and benefits that will be unobtainable in the future.
But we know you may have lots of questions, and we're here to answer them.
When we open up submissions in early 2022, only standard size sports cards (2.5ā x 3.5ā cards, square corners) of up to 55pt in thickness will be accepted. This is so that our initial cases may best encase, support, and protect the cards you send. As we tool and create new case sizes, we fully expect to support non-standard sizes (tobacco cards, 70+ pt, TCG, and rounded edges) soon after we have our full launch in 2022. The exact time when we will support specific card sizes depends on manufacturing times, logistics, and the quality control measures we take to ensure that our cases always protect your cards with a minimum of movement inside the case.
We expect our pre-sale cards to be submitted in early 2022 and start being returned shortly after. Founders Edition purchasers have the highest priority in the queue, followed by Collectors Editions and then Standard editions. The time you get your card back is dependent on when you submit your card and the edition you purchased. Some issues may result in a longer turnaround time than expected; this includes incorrect submissions (cards submitted without a packing slip, cards not in penny sleeves / semi-rigid holders, etc.) or other problems found in the grading process. Weāll keep our customers updated if any delays occur.
Lastly, customers are not required to immediately use their pre-sale purchases. Customers may hold on to their pre-sale purchases until the future, when we will be grading a wider variety of cards (70+ pt cards, TCG cards like Pokemon, etc.). Pre-sale purchases do not expire.
