About PG Grading

PG Grading is proud to be the UK’s first trading card grading company, founded in 2019 by passionate collector Peter Graham. With the longest-running grading team in the country, no one in the UK has been grading cards longer than PG.

Our UK headquarters are located in Poole, Dorset, with our European base operating out of the Netherlands.

Why are PG tough with grading?

PG was created to provide buyer trust on the second hand market. The term ‘soft 10’ & ‘true 10’ have become mixed signals in what grading is about. You can be confident that if you achieve a PG10, then it truly is a GEM MINT card.
