MPE Grading: The High-Tech Process Behind Every Slab

At MPE Grading, we don’t just slap a number on a label—we use precision, advanced technology, and expert evaluation to ensure every card is graded accurately and fairly. Here’s how our process works:

Step 1: Digital Imaging & Surface Analysis

Before human hands even touch your card, we scan it using high-resolution imaging technology to detect imperfections the naked eye can miss.


AI-Assisted Surface Detection: Our system identifies surface scratches, dimples, and print defects with pinpoint accuracy.

UV & Light Inspection: Cards are analyzed under multiple light spectrums to expose hidden flaws.


Step 2: Centering Measurement with Digital Calibration

Using digital tools, we precisely measure centering. No eyeballing—just exact data.


Edge-to-Edge Analysis: Ensuring accurate alignment for front and back centering.

Automated Ratio Calculation: We determine exact centering percentages to remove subjectivity.


Step 3: Corner & Edge Grading with Microscopic Precision

Corners and edges are scrutinized under magnification tools to catch the tiniest imperfections.


Fiber-Level Inspection: We check for fraying, bends, and chipping.

3D Edge Mapping: Ensuring clean, crisp edges without hidden wear.


Step 4: Human Verification by Expert Graders

Technology is amazing, but real expertise matters too. Every card is reviewed by trained graders with years of experience.


Double-Check Process: Two graders evaluate each card independently.

Final Expert Review: A lead grader confirms the final score to ensure accuracy and consistency.


Step 5: Sonic Welding & Tamper-Proof Slabbing

Once graded, your card is securely encapsulated in a crystal-clear, tamper-proof slab.


Sonic Welding Technology: Creates an airtight, ultra-durable seal.

Scratch-Resistant Cases: Designed for long-term protection.


Step 6: Unique Serial Number & Database Entry

Each graded card receives a unique serial number and is logged in our database for easy verification.


Online Lookup: Check your card’s grade and details.

Future-Proof Security: Your card’s grade is documented forever.
