The assessment of the condition of collectible cards is based directly on the task of expertly analyzing the characteristics of a card. Performing this task requires specialized expertise.

From reputable service providers, it is expected that they can adequately demonstrate the presence of this expertise. Suitable evidence builds confidence in the services offered. The absence of such evidence, on the other hand, raises doubts and uncertainties. Simultaneously, the German Association of Professional Experts (DGuSV), an internationally recognized body, exists to verify skills and knowledge and officially certify companies and individuals with proven expertise.

Our mission statement is to "offer collectors professional grading services without long waiting times, providing them with certainty and assurance regarding the condition of their cards." A prerequisite for this is that our expertise stands up to scrutiny by an official body like the DGuSV. To provide proof of this, we have chosen to undergo official verification and certification by the DGuSV.

In the first step, our company was included in the expert roll of the DGuSV on October 10, 2023, under certificate number CO-EN/14764, check digit VII-DE97024, for the scope of "Trading Cards, Collectible and Game Cards." This made us an officially recognized company in our field.

In the second step, in November 2023, Mr. Heiner Michels, as a member of the management, demonstrated to the DGuSV the necessary qualifications of his professional and technical competencies in expert assessment. Since November 8, 2023, he has been officially certified as an expert for condition assessments of collectible cards (member number EU# DE/14817, check digit VI-DE89842, confirmation register DE-8#17024/70-03).

Collectors and players can thus be assured of the quality of our work and the validity of our mission statement - now also evidenced by an independent and recognized certification body.
