TESTIMONIALS
What our customers say about us
“5 stars doesn’t even do this place justice! DCI will forever be my go to for card grading! I will never use PSA or Beckett Grading again! Not only do they have an amazing turn around time but the customer service is next level! The guys over at DCI are super down to earth guys. They were extremely respectful, friendly, helpful, and super informative. I have honestly never witnessed customer service to where a business deal felt more like a new found friendship. I can’t wait til the next visit and to see their slabs that come out this July!”
Brandon Warton
“I first tried the DCI raw card review service at the Mint Collective in Las Vegas in 2021 and have since sent over 500 cards. Their grading scale is extremely consistent and works in my favor for all other grading companies. I love their new option to have my cards slabbed after RCR as well, as this saves me a lot of time. Thanks DCI!”
Thomas P.
“I love how my cards look and feel in the new DCI Slabs! The quality of the holder in terms of protecting my cards is second to none, and their ultra-clear plastic makes the cards pop! I am all about appearance, and these slabs are sexy!”
Dary R.
“DCI Grading is my first stop for any of my grading needs. It is very nice to have a local company that provides exceptional customer service and incredible hobby knowledge. I trust DCI Grading wholeheartedly.”
