Raw Card Review powered by Rare Edition™

Raw Card Review is a professional pre-grading service designed to empower collectors with expert insights into their cards’ condition before committing to full grading. In partnership with Rare Edition™—whose graders are PSA and BGS trained and have evaluated over 500,000 cards—this service offers a meticulous, low-cost assessment with a fast turnaround time.

Each card undergoes a thorough inspection, evaluating centering, corners, edges, and surface condition to provide you with an accurate expectation of its potential grade. To ensure maximum security and transparency, every reviewed card is affixed with a tamper-proof label that visibly indicates any attempted alterations and includes a unique QR code. Scanning the code directs you to a detailed report on the Rare Edition™ website, complete with card information, the assigned grade, certification number, and grading date.

Raw Card Review not only helps you avoid unnecessary grading fees but also gives you the flexibility to protect your card with a non-permanent holder—making it easy to display or remove as needed. With this service, you can make informed decisions on whether to submit, hold, or sell, ensuring you always maximize the value of your collection.

Experience the confidence of knowing exactly what to expect before you send your card in for grading—with Raw Card Review, your cards are in expert hands.
