More Than Just a Grading Company

Majesty Grading Company was founded to solve a problem that every UK collector knows too well: slow turnaround times, customs delays, surprise upcharges, and a sense that the hobby wasn’t being looked after. Our founder, Jake Kirkham, had experienced all of it – and decided it was time to do things differently.

So, he built MGC – a UK-based grading company that puts collectors first. No gimmicks, no hidden fees, and no vague answers. Just expert grading, transparent service, and a deep-rooted passion for the hobby.

Since day one, our mission has been simple: to create a fair, credible, and community-driven alternative to the big US grading companies. That mission has struck a chord – with MGC proudly voted the UK’s number one grading service at the eBay awards multiple times.

We’re trusted by thousands of collectors across the UK, from high-end investors to casual fans. Our slabs are respected. Our grades are trusted. And our service is designed with you in mind.

Who We Are

MGC is powered by a growing team of skilled, full-time professionals across multiple disciplines. Behind every order is a crew of:

• Expert Graders – each with deep knowledge of specific card types and grading criteria
• Authenticators and Encapsulators – handling every card with care, accuracy and precision
• Quality Control – ensuring the highest standards at every stage
• Customer Support and Admin – keeping you informed and supported from start to finish
• Finance and Operations – making the whole machine run smoothly and professionally

We’re not here to rush jobs, outsource quality, or hide behind vague policies. We’re here to do the best possible job – every single time.

At MGC, we’re not an outsider trying to cash in on the grading boom. We’re collectors ourselves. We understand what your cards mean to you – whether you’re grading for protection, resale, or pure passion.

We actively support the UK collecting scene through card shows and events, local submission hubs, hobby partnerships and educational content. We speak your language, because we’re part of the same community.

Built on Trust and Fairness

Our reputation matters to us. That’s why we stand by our core values:

• Honesty – consistent, fair grading with no manipulation or bias
• Transparency – clear pricing, no upcharges, and open communication
• Community-first – we grow by supporting the people who support us
• Quality – premium slabs, sharp labels, and expert-level accuracy

Whether you’re grading your child’s first Pokémon card or a five-figure set of sports inserts, we treat every order with the same care and professionalism.
