PG Grading was the first grading company to offer impartial grading & authentication to UK card collectors. Before grading was offered, PG’s founder, Peter Graham (33) set up a monthly trading card subscription service back in 2020 during the pandemic. The Pokeclub had over 500 members distributing over 10,000 cards per month. All from the front room of his flat in Bournemouth.
PG founder Peter Graham was soon featured in world famous Wired magazine with his opinions on the UK trading card scene and thoughts for the future.
