Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about grading with Valen.

Cards are graded on a 1–10 scale based on their overall condition. Our graders evaluate four key areas: • Centering • Corners • Edges • Surface Each factor contributes to the final grade, which reflects the card’s overall quality and level of wear.
Valen grades most standard-size trading cards, including Pokémon, sports cards, and major TCGs such as Magic: The Gathering and Yu-Gi-Oh. Currently we grade cards that fall within standard trading card specifications. Support for thicker card types may be introduced in the future. If you're unsure about a card, feel free to contact us before submitting.
