Graded Card Condition Policy

Graded trading cards sold by Top Grade Collective have been independently authenticated and graded by recognised third-party grading companies.

Card Grade

The numerical grade displayed on the slab represents the opinion of the grading company.

Top Grade Collective does not alter, influence or guarantee grading outcomes.

Grading Cases (Slabs)

Grading cases may contain minor cosmetic imperfections, including:

  • Light surface scratches
  • Scuff marks
  • Manufacturing marks
  • Minor chips or moulding imperfections

These are common during the grading and handling process and do not affect the assigned grade.

Unless specifically noted in the product description, cosmetic imperfections on the slab itself are not considered defects and are not grounds for return or refund.

Product Images

Where practical, photographs show the actual graded card being sold.

Customers are encouraged to carefully review all images before purchasing.

Verification

Customers are encouraged to verify certification numbers through the relevant grading company’s online database before purchasing.
