About Us & Our Mission

A message from our founders

Our company was founded to help bring grading back to its roots. When the founders started in this hobby over 20 years ago, grading was only a few dollars, turnaround times could be measured in weeks, not months, and people graded to enjoy their slabs and build their collections. And while times have changed and the industry has grown, we believe that grading does not need to. It should be accurate, quick, affordable and worthy of display. In the days of social media and live shopping, the way your slab presents on screen can be just as important as the card itself. With all this in mind, we hope to build a company that earns your trust and represents what grading was meant to be all along.

Accurate Grading

Following industry standards and combining 20+ years of grading experience, our team of experts works to ensure your grades accurately reflect the condition of your cards.

Simple, Quick & Affordable

With a simple submission process, low costs, and quick turnaround times, we want the process to be frictionless — this hobby is supposed to be fun!

Designed for Perfection

Housed in ultra-clear, UV resistant acrylic with a shimmering gold label, we believe the slab should be as nice as the card it protects.

FAQs

Common Questions Answered

What is the turnaround time?

Currently, all orders are completed in 7-10 business days.
How do I ship my cards?

For maximum protection, we suggest shipping your cards in semi-rigid holders (like Card Saver 1s), sandwiched between cardboard and shipped in a sturdy box. However, we accept submissions in all forms, including in one-touch magnetic cases or top loaders. Please ensure the shipment is sent with tracking number and signature. Please note that supplies will not be returned to you (e.g., your one-touch magnetic cases).
How do I pay for my grading order?

Currently, we do not process payments through the website. After you submit your order, we will contact you directly via email to arrange secure payment prior to shipment.
Are bulk discounts available?

Yes, we offer bulk discounts for submissions greater than 200 cards. Please contact us here for more information.
Can I buy already graded cards directly from GAS?

Not at this time, however, we encourage you to reach out to some of our Whatnot, eBay or Tik Tok partners to buy directly from them.
