Discover how our expert pre-screening and transparent process can help you make informed decisions about grading your prized possessions.
Why Our Grading Service Stands Out
At Elite4Trading.com, we don’t just ship your cards to a grader — we run a collector-first, concierge grading service built to maximise your results and protect your cards end-to-end.
What we do differently:
- Honest pre-screening: We inspect every card and advise against submission if a target grade isn’t realistic.
- Clear, data-backed advice: Condition notes paired with market comps to understand potential ROI.
- Non-invasive prep: Fresh sleeves, card savers, and microfibre surface checks.
- Your choice of grading company: PSA, ACE, CGC or mixed submissions.
- Transparent pricing: Flat handling fee + the grader’s published fees. Bulk rates available.
- Fully documented chain of custody: Photo logs at intake, pre-pack, and return.
- Secure, insured shipping: Tamper-evident packaging and tracked courier service.
- Local convenience, UK coverage: Belfast drop-off available; UK & Ireland postal intake.
- Post-grade support: Sell/hold guidance, listing photos, and storage tips.
For Collectors Nervous About Sending Their Cards
We understand sending off your prized Pokémon cards can feel nerve-racking. That’s exactly why we built our grading service to be transparent, secure, and collector-friendly from start to finish.
Here’s how we make sure your cards are always safe:
- Secure Intake: Cards are logged immediately upon arrival with full visual record.
- Careful Handling: Each card is handled with gloves and prepped properly.
- Fully Tracked & Insured: Cards are insured and tracked at every stage.
- Honest Pre-Screening: We’ll advise if grading isn’t worth it.
- Communication at Every Step: Updates when your cards arrive, are submitted, and are on their way back.
- Safe Return: Cards are checked, photographed, and shipped back with full insurance and tracking.
Your cards are treated like they’re our own. Our entire process is built around trust, care, and keeping collectors in control.
Why People in the UK Get Their Pokémon Cards Graded
At Elite4Trading.com, we see collectors from all over the UK sending cards for grading for a few key reasons:
- To Protect and Preserve Value: Grading protects cards from scratches, dust, and bending.
- To Increase Market Value: A high grade can significantly boost a card’s resale price.
- For Insurance and Documentation: Graded cards provide a verifiable record of condition and authenticity.
- For Display and Collection Pride: A graded collection looks professional and timeless.
- To Preserve Childhood Memories: Grading protects that piece of nostalgia.
- To Track Investment Growth: Some collectors use grading as part of a long-term investment strategy.
Whether it’s for value, sentiment, or peace of mind, grading gives your cards a lasting layer of protection and legitimacy.
