HGA Glass

Metal and glass for premium cards. If Glass is bought and no exact size fits, the nearest Glass size is selected automatically and you're told. A perfect 10 on every subgrade earns HGA Flawless and an upgrade to Glass at no charge.

What's included

Nothing is an add-on.

On the labelCard grade, and the autograph grade when it is a 10. All four subgrades on the back. Cert number, and an NFT chip tied to the record.

In the reportEvery defect a grader found, where it is on the card, how severe, with the images to prove it. Public on the cert.

In your portalLive status at every step, with photos and video at the moments that matter: arrival, unboxing, imaging, the finished slab, the Reveal. Your cert and your card's permanent record. Support built in.

ValueNo upcharge up to $10,000 card value. Above that, $200 insurance handling per $10,000, paid at submission.

Lost or damagedIf we lose or damage a card in our possession, we replace it or pay you for it. Every time. Documented live.

Legacy & crossoverLegacy HGA slabs come back for recertification to the new standard and housings. Other companies' slabs cross over the same way.

The process

From your box to your Reveal.

Every step tracked live in your portal. The clock starts when the carrier delivers.

01Received

Box photographed, condition recorded. Clock starts at carrier delivery.

02Unboxed on camera

Every card barcoded and tracked. A missing card is refunded automatically.

03Imaged & identified

High-resolution scans; identity confirmed by a person; authentication checks.

04Graded blind

Centering set by the published scale. Graded by a grader who never knows whose card it is; released by a senior grader.

05Sealed & chipped

Housed in the case you chose. The NFT chip in the label is written to the record; label, record and card verified, final images taken before it leaves.

06The Reveal

Turn each slab over live. Then decide: ship home, list, or vault, within 7 days.

Policies

Said once, kept every time.

TurnaroundQuoted in business days on the US federal holiday calendar. Promise = delivery + tier days. The clock pauses only while we wait on you.

Altered or counterfeitNever graded, never cased. Inconclusive after senior review: returned ungraded, fee refunded.

Questions on a gradeSupport is built into your portal; ask about any grade from the card. There is no formal appeal.
