CGZ Grading Blog

We’ve rolled out a cleaner, faster design across CGZ Grading pages to make it easier to read on mobile, search graded cards, and manage your account. This update supports collectors, resellers, and anyone who wants a straightforward card grading submission flow.

Once you create a free account, you’ll be sent to your dashboard to start a submission and track updates. For this limited intake phase, standard submissions are capped at 10 submissions per month per account while we test and scale our systems. Our estimated turnaround is 30–45 days depending on volume and special requirements.

Every graded card receives a certification ID and live population reporting in our public database. You can verify slabs and look up cert IDs on pop-report.html. This helps buyers and sellers confirm authenticity and track populations in real time.

• Live POP / cert lookup: Explore pop-report.html.
• Free tools: Try our free grading tool.

Behind the scenes, CGZ brings nearly 40 years of industry experience and has graded 1,000+ cards. We’re continuing to grow and actively pushing toward a larger-scale operation with an expanded location.

To keep service quality high while we scale, CGZ is limiting new account signups to 100 total slots. Signup is free, and accounts can submit within monthly limits during this intake period.

We’re also introducing a wholesale membership option designed for volume resellers. Wholesale membership is $99 per year and is intended to help resellers access affordable top-level slabs. Wholesale slab pricing may include options such as $9.99 and $29 tiers depending on the player/card. (Pricing and eligibility rules will be presented inside your account experience as we finalize scale-up details.)

Standard submissions remain limited to 10 submissions per month per account for system testing, with an estimated 30–45 day turnaround. Every card receives a live certification ID with population reporting visible on pop-report.html.

• Submit cards: Start on graded.html.
• Verify cert IDs: Use pop-report.html.
• Grading scale: Review grade-scale.html.

CGZ is building collector-first tooling—starting with our free grading tool on scan.html. It’s designed to help you quickly evaluate modern cards (centering, corners, edges, and surface) before you submit.

We originally introduced real-time AI grading work in 2020 under the FGS grading service. More than 5+ years later, we’re still grading cards and pushing forward with AI-assisted tools and services. Our goal is to make grading clearer and faster—without sacrificing collector confidence.

As always, graded cards receive a certification ID and live population reporting in our public POP report database. If you’re buying or selling a slab, verify it anytime using pop-report.html.
