Record Pokémon Month for MGC Pokémon Card Grading

This article is written for Pokémon collectors of all levels – from Dedicated Hobbyists and Flippers through to TCG Parents and casual fans who are just getting started.

5,000+ Pokémon cards graded in one month

Something huge just happened at Majesty Grading Company. In the last month alone, our team graded more than 5,000 Pokémon cards. That is a 32% increase on the month before, and easily our biggest Pokémon month ever.

Whether it is the wider boom in the Pokémon market, collectors getting fed up with sending cards overseas, the impact of our recent MGC20 offer, or a mix of everything – one thing is clear. More people are choosing MGC for their Pokémon card grading than ever before.

If you have been sitting on a pile of raw cards thinking about getting them slabbed, this is your sign.

Why are more collectors choosing MGC for Pokémon grading?

The Pokémon market is buzzing again

The Pokémon hobby never really sleeps, but every so often it catches fire. New sets, nostalgia waves, influencer content and live streams all combine to push more people towards pokemon grading. When that happens, collectors want a grading company that is fast, reliable and based in the UK.

Instead of dealing with international postage, customs and long waits, more UK and Irish collectors are deciding to get Pokémon cards graded with a trusted local grader. That is where MGC steps in.

Collectors are switching from other grading companies

We hear the same story over and over. People are tired of slow turnaround times, confusing upcharges and the stress of sending their cards abroad. They want clear pricing, strong communication and a slab that actually looks good in their collection or on a sales table.

MGC offers a UK based alternative that feels modern, collector focused and community driven. Our customers tell us they like the look and feel of the MGC slab, the transparency of our grading process and the way we actually talk their language as collectors.

If you have ever searched for the best grading company for Pokémon cards and ended up overwhelmed by options, we want to make that decision easy. Try MGC once, and you will see why so many collectors are making the switch.

The MGC20 offer helped unlock big submissions

We cannot ignore the impact of our special 20% grading offer using code MGC20 at checkout. Price matters in this hobby, especially when you are sending in 10, 20 or 50 cards at a time. An offer like that often pushes people who have been “thinking about it” into finally submitting.

We saw long time customers increasing their submission sizes and brand new customers testing us out for the first time. Once they experienced our Pokémon grading cards service – from the online submission form through to the reveal of their slabs – many have already told us they are coming back.

What a record Pokémon month looks like behind the scenes

Grading 5,000+ Pokémon cards in a month is not just a number on a spreadsheet. It is a huge operational effort. Cards arrive from all over the UK and Ireland, via post, Local Submission Hubs and in person drop offs. Every card is logged, checked, graded and encapsulated with care.

Our grading team spends their days living and breathing Pokémon – from vintage Wizards of the Coast holos through to modern alt arts, promos and competitive play staples. We see everything. Big Charizards, Japanese exclusives, Crown Zenith favourites, quirky niche cards that mean the world to one collector.

That mix is exactly what makes a record month special. It is not just about high value hits. It is about protecting childhood favourites, family pulls and personal grails, all in the same queue.

How to get your Pokémon cards graded with MGC

If you are ready to join the record breaking momentum and get cards graded with MGC, the process is simple.

1. Decide which cards to send

Start by going through your collection and picking out the cards you care about most. That might be valuable chase cards, rare Japanese promos or sentimental favourites from your first binder.

If you are unsure which cards are worth grading, you can explore more guides in our Knowledge Centre or reach out to the team for advice.

2. Choose your service and submit online

Head over to our main Pokémon and TCG card grading page to see the current services and pricing. Our online form walks you through each step, so even first time submitters and TCG Parents can feel confident.

If you prefer to keep things as affordable as possible, check out our grading membership options. An MGC Membership can reduce your cost per card across the year and is perfect for collectors who submit regularly.

3. Post your cards or use a Local Submission Hub

You can either safely package and post your cards to us, or use a nearby Local Submission Hub if you prefer to hand them in at a shop you know and trust. Many collectors who search for “pokemon grading near me” end up using these hubs as their solution.

4. Track, wait, reveal

Once your cards arrive, our team handles the rest. You will get updates as your order moves through the grading stages, and then the best bit – the reveal. Whether you are chasing MGC 10s or just want your favourites protected forever, that first look at your graded cards never gets old.

What this record month means for you as a collector

More trust in UK Pokémon grading

Every record month helps build more trust and visibility around UK based Pokémon grading. The more collectors choose MGC, the more you will see our slabs on sales tables, in live streams and across social media. That increased recognition helps when it comes to trading, selling or showing off your collection.

Great timing to send your first (or next) submission

If you have been watching from the sidelines, a month like this shows that thousands of other collectors are already trusting us with their cards. It is a good time to ride that wave, especially if there are active offers like MGC20 available when you check out.

For Dedicated Hobbyists and Flippers, a busy Pokémon month also signals strong demand. Grading key cards now can put you in a good position for future trades and sales.

Support for every type of collector

One of the best things about this record Pokémon month is the mix of customers involved. We have seen small, carefully curated submissions from long time collectors, big batches from investors, and one card orders from parents grading their child’s favourite pull.

Wherever you sit in the hobby, we want to make the process of pokemon card grading as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

Come and see us at events or online

If you want to talk Pokémon in person before sending anything in, keep an eye on our Events page. MGC appears at card shows and hobby events across the UK, often taking live submissions and offering face to face advice.

Between shows, you can always reach the team through our Support Centre. Whether you are a beginner who needs help filling in the form or a high end collector planning a large submission, we are happy to talk it through.

Ready to be part of the next record month?

We might not know exactly why this month has smashed our Pokémon records. Maybe it is the market, maybe it is collectors jumping ship from other graders, maybe it is the MGC20 offer. Realistically, it is a combination of all of it.

What we do know is this – more collectors than ever are trusting MGC with their Pokémon grading cards, and we are just getting started.

Submit your Pokémon cards now and be part of the next record month.
