GotPregrade — Know What You've Got

What Is GotPregrade?

Transparency for Every Raw Card

Buying and selling raw cards has always come with risk. You're trusting the seller's word or your own eye under show lighting. GotPregrade changes that. We've been prescreening cards since 1998. You trust our eyes. Now we're putting that on a label.

Card Eligibility: We accept modern and vintage trading cards across all sports and TCG formats. Cards must be 130pt thickness or less. Cards thicker than 130pt are not eligible for pregrading.

Expert Evaluation

Every card is evaluated by our team using the same expert standards we've applied to prescreenings for years. Corners, edges, surface, centering — all assessed and assigned a pregrade estimate.

Tamper-Evident Label

Your card receives a GotPregrade label with a unique cert number. If the label is tampered with or removed, the entire label displays VOID automatically — protecting every transaction.

Instant Verification

Every cert is registered in our public database. Anyone can verify a card's pregrade estimate at gotpregrade.com at a show, at home, or anywhere.

GotPregrade is an independent pregrading service operated by GotBaseballCards. Our pregrade estimates represent the professional opinion of our team and are not affiliated with any grading company. We're built for speed, affordability, and transparency.

All GotPregrade estimates are final and represent the professional opinion of our team at the time of evaluation. All sales are final. Fees cover the evaluation service regardless of the pregrade estimate assigned.

If the GotPregrade label is tampered with, removed, or altered, the label automatically displays VOID. This protects buyers from fraudulent relabeling. If a label is triggered during shipping through no fault of the customer, please contact us.

Visit gotpregrade.com/verify and enter the cert number on the label. The full card details, pregrade estimate, and certification date appear instantly. If the cert number returns no result, do not complete the purchase and contact us.

Pregraded cards are returned in a semi-rigid card sleeve with a tamper-evident fold-over seal. The GotPregrade label is applied directly to the sleeve. If the label is peeled off, it will display VOID — protecting the integrity of the pregrade for buyers and sellers alike.

GotBaseballCards is not responsible for cards damaged in transit to our facility. We strongly recommend using tracked, insured shipping. While the cards are in our possession, they are covered at the raw card market value. Insurance options for return shipping are available on the submission form.
