#1. Authenticity:
Considering how popular card collecting has become in recent years, counterfeits are more likely to appear on the market, as forgers reproduce popular cards. Purchasing a valuable card graded by ASTG will provide you with the piece of mind as that item has been professionally evaluated and deemed authentic.
#2. Increased Selling Values:
Looking at many graded cards sold over the past decade, you will just about always see a significant increase in price in a graded card versus one in the same ungraded condition. Having a third-party grader (TPG) provides an unbiased detailing of the card’s condition which can be used as a foundation for a perspective buyer and seller to determine a price.
#3. Protection:
Having your card encapsulated can help protect it from damage that is typical in mishandling or improper storage methods.
ASTG has developed a more efficient and streamlined process to card submitting, making it as seamless as possible to save you time—because your time is valuable.

ASTG has designed two very distinct and highly defined grading standards for modern and vintage cards. These grading standards remove human subjectivity and replace it with a mathematical-based formula. We believe this is the only way to ensure every card is graded accurately and consistently.
