Card ID

Every graded card with DSG receives its own unique card ID, allowing you to more easily identify your card within our database.

QR Code

Our slabs feature a scannable QR code on the back of each label, accessible on any mobile device, linking you directly to the card’s grade report.

Polycarbonate

Our shatterproof polycarbonate casing is a durable protective enclosure to safeguard and preserve the condition of collectible trading cards. Polycarbonate is 25x stronger than acrylic.

Grade Report

A comprehensive graphic offering detailed information about a card’s condition, authenticity, and grade assessment.

HD Imaging

Inside each grade report is high quality imaging of your raw card, allowing you to see the card before it is graded, and used to aid in accurate assessment and authentication.

UV-Resistance

DSG uses a UV-resistant polycarbonate slab to shield collectible trading cards from harmful ultraviolet light. It preserves the card condition, preventing fading, discoloration, and damage.

DSG Card Encapsulation RPA Stephen Curry
