About us

The Royal Standard

Royal Standard Grading was built by collectors who believe every card deserves an honest, consistent grade. We know what it means to open a pack, find something special, and want the world to see it the way you do.

Every card that comes through our doors is examined by hand. We look closely at centering, corners, edges and surface, then assign a grade on one clear scale, so a grade means the same thing on every RSG slab, whether it's a modern rookie or a vintage favourite.

Once graded, your card is sealed in a protective slab with our gold-and-black Royal Standard label and its own unique certification number. That number is your card's permanent record: anyone can look it up on this site to confirm its details, see its grade and compare it with every other copy we've graded.

Our goal is simple: careful grading, honest results and slabs you're proud to display. Welcome to the Royal Standard.
