COLLECTORS WHO GET IT.
PROOF Grading Labs was built by collectors, for collectors. We understand the weight a card carries beyond the slab… the hunt, the history, the personal connection.
That perspective informs every decision we make, from how we handle submissions to how we evaluate condition. We don’t rush, we don’t inflate, and we don’t treat your cards like inventory. We treat them like what they are: pieces of culture worth preserving correctly.
Our approach is precise, technical, and human. We use clear standards, modern tools, and consistent methodology, but we also believe grading is a relationship, not a transaction. We’re accessible, transparent, and accountable — because trust is earned, not assumed. When you grade with PROOF, you’re not sending your cards into a black box. You’re working with people who care, who communicate, and who are invested in doing it right, every time.
THIS IS OUR SYSTEM
A TRUE - 5 - CATEGORY GRADING SYSTEM:
CENTERING, CORNERS, EDGES, SURFACE, CLARITY.
NOTHING MORE, NOTHING LESS.
10 POINTS AVAILABLE FOR EACH CATEGORY, A MAXIMUM GRADE OF 50.
