12 minutes of readingPCC Grading offers a reliable and accessible service, designed to enhance and protect your cards
Whether you are in France, Spain, Italy, Germany or elsewhere in Europe, our goal is to offer you a consistent and coherent grading experience, with innovative tools and options adapted to the needs of European collectors.
The strength of PCC Grading lies in GradeTool, an internal software designed to assign subgrades in a consistent, reproducible, and impartial manner. This software puts an end to grade variations depending on the grader's experience and sensitivity by providing total impartiality.
It is an internal software designed to assign subgrades in a consistent, reproducible, and impartial manner.
• Subgrades no longer vary from one grader to another.
• The grading remains identical over time, which reduces the risk of inconsistencies.
• The collector is certain that their card is judged with a stable and objective reference.
In other words,
Every card graded at PCC-Grading systematically receives a detailed grading report, an element often ignored or overpriced by other companies.
The report is provided at no additional cost, automatically included in your order. No hidden fees: as soon as a card is graded, you receive its report.
• It fits the size of the case
• It fits the size of the case
Unlike bulky or hard-to-store reports, the PCC report is designed to stack directly on the card’s case.
The grading report is not limited to the final grade. It provides:
• Card details: Name, Series, Year of release, Number in the set.
• The overall grade of the card
• The subgrades: CENTERING, CORNERS, EDGES, SURFACE
• The date and unique certification number
• Any recommendations or observations on the card’s condition
In summary, the PCC grading report is a true tool for collectors: it documents the condition and value of your cards, facilitates display and consultation, and is delivered automatically and free of charge.
The ordering process at PCC Grading is designed to be both simple and innovative.
The first step is to select the cards you want to grade. Thanks to the PCC Grading API, it is possible to search directly in a complete TCG card catalog
By typing the card name, its number, or its set, you will get:
• The official visual of the card
• The exact name
• The original number and set
This avoids input errors and guarantees that the information on the case label will be correct.
Once the cards are added, you can customize your order with several options:
• Post-grade photo: a professional photo of the card in its case, ideal for collectors or for online sales.
• Transport & workshop insurance: coverage of the value of your cards during shipping and processing at PCC Grading.
• Label language: possibility to choose the language in which the label will be printed (French, English, etc.), a real plus for European collectors.
• Minimum grade: You can set a floor grade (e.g. 8).
If the card receives a grade strictly below this threshold, it will not be digitally graded but will receive the mention “A” for Authentic. This avoids a card receiving a degrading grade, while certifying its authenticity and protecting it in a case.
• CrossGrade service
PCC also offers a CrossGrade service: secure opening of a case from another grading company.
This operation is carried out with specialized tools in a clean and antistatic environment, ensuring extraction without scratches, folds, or contamination. Your card is then analyzed and regraded by PCC, while preserving its condition and value.
In this final step, you provide:
Your shipping address
Your billing information
