Card grading is a professional assessment of a trading card’s condition. We assign a grade to your card based on the condition of its corners, surface, edges, and centering.
We authenticate your cards, assign a suitable grade after a meticulous assessment, and then preserve their condition by ultrasonically encasing them with a label color of your choice. Graded cards are often seen as more desirable and typically fetch higher prices compared to ungraded cards.

Sorry, we do not currently grade signatures, autographs, or signed trading cards.
Of course! However, we currently cannot accept submissions in the original grading company’s case. We only accept cards that are not encased.
Step 1: Log In & Choose Your Service
Log into your account and choose your submission track:
Bulk Track: Ideal for larger submissions. (5 card minimum submission)

Step 2: Choose Your Label & Case (Optional):
Show off your style by creating your own label with our easy-to-use editor — choose your favorite color combinations and preview the result before ordering. If you’re short on time or unsure what looks best, try our colour-match service, or go for an art-match label for a more creative look. You can also select between a frosted or clear case for selected brands.
To ensure the correct card is paired with the right label, choose the correct brand from the dropdown menu and type the card name and number in the text box next to each label.
Step 3: Complete Your Order & Ship Your Cards:
Once you’ve finalised your grading selections, enter your shipping and contact information. Then, choose your preferred payment method to complete your order.
When packing your cards, be sure to follow our packaging guidelines and address your parcel to:
Ruby Grading, Co-Space, 25 Town Square, Stevenage, Hertfordshire, SG1 1BP.
Please also clearly mark your order number on or inside the package.
We strongly recommend submitting your cards in clear soft sleeves within semi-rigid card holders to protect them during transit. Use appropriate packaging, such as packing paper or bubble wrap, to prevent movement. Finally, we advise using a durable box to ensure your cards arrive safely.
We offer colour customisation for all grading submissions with our label colour editor tool during the order process. If you’re short on time, choose from one of our preset colour combinations or select the colour match option where we match the label colours to your card.
No, you can customise the colour of each label for no additional charge.
Security is our top priority, which is why we use a multi-layered system that combines innovative technology with tried-and-tested features to ensure ultimate protection.
