Unlike other card grading services: Each side of the sports trading card is graded separately The label lists both the front and the back card grades A report details why points were deducted There is a fast turn-around time, usually a week It costs just $7.95 a card, no matter the value of it.

A registration number is attached to your "Card Grading Report Card," with the same number on the card-holder. They cannot be removed. We use a 100-point system of grading, so you know exactly what percentage of perfect your card grades. You won't receive a "fancy" card holder. Your card is placed in a high-quality four-screw screwdown, with tamper-proof seals. The date of the grading, and the card owner's name are on the Report Card and are registered at The Franchise. If you sell the card, the new owner may pay a nominal amount - $2.50 - to have the card re-cased, the registration number changed, and to receive a new Report Card listing him/her as the owner. We use high-power lenses and calipers to inspect your card. We don't tell you how much to spend on sending the card to us. You choose how it is sent and returned, so there is a lower cost to you.
