I am very satisfied with the product! The delivery arrived on time. The quality is excellent – both the packaging and the label, and especially the case, are very high-quality.
Trustpilot
I’ve had 10 or more cards graded at a time many, many times, and each time the service has been excellent. The grades are fair. FIVE-STAR SERVICE.
Trustpilot
I’ve already submitted many cards and will continue to submit more in the future. I’m always satisfied with the grading, and I still really like the black and gold design. The price-performance ratio is also good, and the cards stay in Germany instead of going on a trip halfway around the world.

Grading – Because your cards deserve precision
Grading refers to the objective evaluation of a trading card’s condition and authenticity by trained experts.
If you want to know the true condition of your Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, or Magic cards, we examine them according to clearly defined standards – independently, systematically, and transparently.
Our inspectors combine years of experience with modern inspection technology and high-resolution magnification tools. This ensures that every card is evaluated fairly and consistently.
After the process is completed, your card is permanently sealed to protect and preserve its condition over the long term.
The market value of a card largely depends on its condition. Even the smallest differences can have a significant impact on the price.
AP Grading evaluates cards according to transparent and internationally established grading standards. During this process, we analyze:
- Centering
- Corners
- Edges
- Surface
- Authenticity
The result is a clear and traceable grade that gives you confidence for collecting, investing, or reselling.
Cards from well-known trading card games such as Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Magic: The Gathering, One Piece, or sports cards are particularly often submitted.
But regardless of the game, one thing applies:
If a card is important to you – whether emotionally or financially – professional grading provides protection, transparency, and trust.
Objectivity is the foundation of every professional grading process.
We evaluate each card neutrally, systematically, and without the influence of external factors. By combining modern technology with human expertise, we ensure a consistent and precise result.
Your card receives exactly the grade it deserves – no more and no less.
