Precision in every grade
Verify any MPE graded collectible by its certification number.
Enter the serial number printed on your MPE slab to verify the card.
Don't have a cert number to hand? These are the latest cards through the lab, each with its own permanent record.
Every card MPE encapsulates is given a unique certification number — also called the serial number — and that number never changes for the life of the slab.
You'll find it printed on the label of the slab itself, and encoded in the barcode and QR code on the label. Scanning the QR code with a phone camera opens this page with the lookup already filled in, so you don't have to type anything. If you'd rather type it, enter the digits exactly as they appear on the label — no spaces or dashes.
The same number appears on your submission receipt and in your account history, so if you've sold the card or lost the slab you can still trace it.
If a cert number returns nothing, the card was not graded by MPE, the number has been mistyped, or the label has been tampered with. Our slabs are tamper-evident for exactly this reason — a slab that has been opened and resealed cannot be made to look untouched.
Counterfeit slabs and re-labelled cards are a real problem in the hobby. Because a graded card sells for a multiple of its raw price, there's an obvious incentive to fake the label rather than the card. A cert lookup takes seconds and defeats the whole scheme: the images stored against the certification number are the ones our graders captured, so if the card in the listing doesn't match the card on this page, something is wrong.
If you're buying an MPE-graded card on eBay, at a show, or from another collector, ask for the cert number before you pay and check it here. Any honest seller will give it to you — it's printed on the front of the slab in their own photos.
Yes. Anyone can verify any MPE-graded card, and you don't need an account to do it.
Check the digits again first, since 0/O and 1/I are easy to misread. If it still returns nothing, the card wasn't graded by MPE or the label isn't genuine. Contact us with a photo of the slab and we'll confirm.
Yes — that's the point. Verification is public so buyers can check a card before paying.
Yes. Cracking a slab and resubmitting produces a new certification number, because it's a new encapsulation and a new grade.
Straight to this page with your cert number pre-filled, so the card verifies itself.
