Face-to-Face Grading: A Premium Experience That Puts You in Control

This article is written for High-End Collectors who want total control over how and when their cards are graded.
Why Face-to-Face Grading Exists
If you’re holding 20, 50, or even 200 high-value cards, the thought of dropping them in the post and crossing your fingers is… unthinkable. Our face-to-face card grading service was created for collectors who want a more premium, controlled, and personal experience.
This isn’t a walk-in service. It’s booked in advance, and not everyone is accepted. We review every application carefully to ensure the session delivers value, privacy, and focus. It’s a service designed for serious collectors – those looking to build valuable sets or submitting rare cards where even a small flaw matters.
The MGC Face-to-Face Experience
Here’s how it works: You’ll visit our head office and sit down for a private, 30-minute consultation with one of our expert graders. During that time, you can:
- Discuss the history and condition of each card
- Ask questions about the grading process
- Raise any specific concerns or priorities
It’s not about negotiating grades – but it is about clarity, control, and a collaborative approach. You’ll leave knowing your cards are in safe hands, with full transparency from start to finish.
Why High-End Collectors Choose This Route
We’ve seen it all: the limited-run promos, the ultra-modern refractors, the vintage grails pulled from top-loaders last touched in 1999. These are the kinds of submissions where trust really matters.
By opting for a face-to-face consultation, you avoid the risks and uncertainties that come with posting high-value cards. No couriers. No customs delays. No exposure to damage in transit. Just a private, professional, secure handover – and the peace of mind that comes with it.
What Makes It Premium?
It’s not just about geography – it’s about quality. Here’s what sets MGC apart when it comes to premium card grading:
- Speed: Priority grading is available.
- Accuracy: No distractions, no batch processing – every card gets the attention it deserves
- Access: Speak directly with an MGC expert who understands your goals
- Exclusivity: Slots are limited and reserved for collectors with 20+ cards to grade.
