Graded, sealed and authenticated on the spot at your local Carta shop. No mailing cards to distant labs and waiting months.

  • ~1 hour
  • At a local shop
  • Authenticated & sealed

How it works

Three steps, one visit.

1

Bring your cards

Walk into a Carta partner shop, or send them to the shop you choose.

2

Graded on the spot

The shop grades, authenticates and seals your card into a Carta slab, in about an hour.

3

Registered & verifiable

Every slab is logged in the Carta registry with a serial and QR anyone can verify.

The slab

One brand. Your shop's name on it.

Every slab carries the Carta Grading seal for trust and authentication, and shows the shop that graded it.

  • Carta-branded. One consistent standard collectors can trust.
  • Your shop, named. The grading shop is on the label — local identity and accountability.
  • Condition + authenticity. A clear condition grade and a genuine-card check.
  • Registered. Serial and QR link to the Carta registry for instant verification.

Why Carta Grading

Grading without the wait.

Fast

About an hour at the counter, not weeks or months in a queue at a distant lab.

Local

Done at a shop near you. No shipping your cards abroad and hoping they come back.

Authenticated

Every card is checked as genuine and sealed, so it is protected and provable.

Registered

Every slab lives in the Carta registry — scan the QR to verify it any time.
