About SportGrading

Independent judgment for modern collecting.

We believe a great certification should make a card easier to understand—not harder to trust.

Our purpose

Clarity in a market built on details.

SportGrading exists to bring a measured, consistent voice to sports-card condition and authenticity. Our process is designed around evidence, repeatability, and a collector-first experience.

We are building the infrastructure for a certification record that can travel with a card across collections, transactions, and generations.

Our principles

  • Evidence over excitement We document what the card shows.
  • Consistency over guesswork The same framework applies to every submission.
  • Transparency over jargon Standards are written for real collectors.
