Priority Trading Card Grading: Our Express Service

Graded and on its way back to you within 5 working days.

When you can't wait, Priority Grading moves your cards straight to the front of the queue. You get exactly the same careful assessment and premium slab as our Standard service, just much faster.

It's ideal for a fresh pull you want protected straight away, a card you're ready to sell, or a card you think could be the first to earn our Golden 10.

What's included:

• Express turnaround: graded and returned within 5 working days.

• Comprehensive physical card condition assessment covering centring, corners, edges and surface.

• Numerical grade using The Retrograde's 1 to 10 grading scale.

• Premium protective grading slab.

• Professional Retrograde grading label.

• Unique certification number.

• A chance to earn our exclusive Golden 10, awarded to the first copy of each card that we grade a 10.

Why the Golden 10 rewards speed

Only one Golden 10 is ever awarded for each card: it goes to the first copy we grade a 10. If you think you're holding a perfect card, Priority Grading gives you the best chance of getting there first.

Estimated turnaround: 5 working days or less.

Please note: Turnaround is measured in working days from receipt and acceptance of your card. Return postage and applicable shipment protection are charged separately. Grades are determined by The Retrograde's own grading standards and do not guarantee an equivalent grade from another grading company.
