The Grading Room

PSA is the largest and most respected third-party authentication and grading company in the world for trading cards and memorabilia.

Authentication is the process of verifying the originality or genuineness of a trading card. Grading is assessing the quality and condition of a trading card using PSA’s 10-point grading scale. Grading can only take place after a trading card has been deemed authentic.

PSA is the largest and most respected third-party authentication and grading company in the world for unopened packs. From first-edition Pokemon and other TCG packs to vintage baseball wax, PSA authenticates and grades a huge assortment of sealed trading card products.

PSA is the largest and most trusted autograph authentication service in the world. With over 35 million collectibles certified, PSA authenticates a vast array of signatures, ranging from sports to history and entertainment. Combining decades of experience with cutting-edge authentication techniques and a passion for the hobby, PSA continues to deliver a service collectors prefer.

PSA is excited to channel its superpowers, over three decades of expertise, the world’s finest authenticators and graders, an adept research department, and an integrated product and technology team committed to serving collectors and their collectibles, into some of the most important comic books and magazine titles in history.
