Sports Card Grading for the Next Generation of Collectors

In-depth grading analysis, high-resolution photos, industry-leading security, and the best-looking slabs on the market make Edge Grading an experience like no other.

Grading Without the Mystery

If you've struggled to understand the "why" behind card grades in the past, Edge Grading was created with you in mind.

How important is the centering of a sports card? How is it calculated?
Is the condition of the back of my card worth as much to the final grade as the condition of the front?
If one corner is slightly worn but the rest of the card is flawless can the card still receive a grade of 10?

As lifelong card collectors who have wrestled with the same concerns we have designed a comprehensive, easy-to-understand card grading system that gives clear answers for questions like these and dozens more. We also take ultra-high-resolution photos of the surfaces, edges, and corners of every card we grade so that full transparency is readily available for every future trade and purchase involving a card graded by Edge.
