Description
Authentic Autograph Grading – professional grading for certified autograph cards
With the Authentic Autograph Grading from Black Grading Service, you can have already certified autograph cards up to a card thickness of 55 pt professionally graded, protected and presented in high quality in our BLACK case.
The service is particularly suitable for sports cards and other trading cards with an original autograph, provided the authenticity of the signature has already been confirmed by an appropriate certification, a seal label or a comparable proof of authentication.
ONLY FOR ALREADY CERTIFIED AUTOGRAPHS
Authentic Autograph Grading is intended exclusively for cards whose autograph has already been appropriately certified or authenticated.
The existing certification must be clearly traceable. This service does not replace initial or separate Autograph authentication.
PROFESSIONAL GRADING
The front and back of the submitted card are carefully inspected and graded as part of our professional grading process.
The condition characteristics relevant to the card are taken into account and combined to create an overall grade.
Once grading is completed, the card is securely sealed in the BLACK case and receives an individual label with the rating and serial number.
TICKETS UP TO 55 PT
The service is intended for suitable Autograph cards with a card weight of up to 55 pt.
This makes Authentic Autograph Grading suitable for numerous modern and classic autograph cards within our supported card formats.
HIGH QUALITY BLACK CASE & UV PROTECTION
Once grading is complete, the autograph card is encapsulated in our high-quality BLACK case.
UV-protecting components help protect the card long-term. Individually stamped and counterfeit-proof components additionally support the security and clear allocation of the slab.
DATABASE ENTRY & DIGITAL CARD CAPTURE
After grading, your Autograph card will be registered with an individual serial number in the Black Grading Service database.
The digital card entry includes an image capture and can be accessed via the QR code on the label or via the corresponding serial number.
MYSLAPS PORTAL & DIGITAL COLLECTION
You will receive access to the MySlaps portal and will be able to view and manage your graded Autograph cards digitally.
Your personal digital collection includes a 3D slab view that lets you view, organize and present your cards digitally.
NO VALUE-RELATED SUPPLEMENTS
With Black Grading Service, the price of grading is not based on the market value of the card submitted.
Even for particularly valuable autograph cards, there are no additional grading fees solely due to a higher card value.
PROCESSING TIME
The regular processing time for Authentic Autograph Grading is 14-21 business days.
