Questions

Have any questions we didn’t answer? Reach out!

Our team of highly trained and efficient graders take each card through a series of tests to verify each cards edges, surface, centering, measurements, and more. We use high powered magnification, color accurate lighting, and industry standard measuring tools.

You can submit your cards through one of our online portals, drop them off at our location in Frisco, or meet us at one of the local card shows. If you wish to mail your order in, you can print out our slab submission form, fill it out, and ship it to us with your cards. We even have a concierge section where you just tell us the basics and we will fill it out for you!

We believe grading your cards should be simple. We offer no minimums and no upcharges on our slabs starting at $30 on-site and $12 Mail-in. Our RCR is $3 mail-in and $8 on-site at shows.

A slab is when a company puts a card into a physical plastic card holder that is encapsulated and sonic welded shut with tamper proof security features. DCI’s slab is UV protected, Polycarbonate, and includes a black light security label for authenticity.
