Service Express
For those wishing to have their card(s) certified and graded quickly, an Express service is available with a commitment to certify, grade and return cards within a maximum of 3 working days of receipt by MTG Grade. The cost of this service is 12Eur. TTC per card, in addition to the basic rate, for example the cost for 3 certification cards + grading in Express will be 72Eur TTC (3×12 Euros grading + 3x12Euros Express service).
Delivery times are given as an indication and may vary according to the number of orders to be processed, the time of year, etc. They are not binding, but we do our utmost to ensure that they are maximum times. Only the Express service is subject to commitment. If you fail to meet the deadline, you will be reimbursed for the cost of the service.
Rates include insurance up to the average value recorded from the time they are received in our offices. Our insurance covers handling problems during grading, fire, theft, etc. Insurance for return shipment depends on the buyer’s choice at the time of ordering. Express service is available for orders sent by post and hand-delivered to our Lille office. We cannot process express orders for hand-delivered orders to our partner stores, which may take longer.
Service Express - Same Day
Do you live in the Lille area, are you just passing through, or would you like to discover our beautiful region and have some valuable cards you need to engrave quickly? The Express Same Day service is for you! You bring your cards to our office in the morning and collect them graded in the afternoon. The price is 40Eur/card for a maximum of 30 cards. We may need to contact you following your order to discuss details and organization.
Signed cards
We engrave cards with an “unofficial” signature, i.e. a signature made by an artist, illustrator or sportsman in front of you. In order to authenticate this type of card, we will analyze the signature, but we also need evidence such as a photo, a certificate, a ticket to a trade show or event, etc. A certified signed card will have the status “Signed” and the signatory’s name will be indicated on the certificate page(example).
The analysis of all these elements, in addition to the map itself, requires more time, so a surcharge is applied.
These cards are not to be confused with official cards with autograph (certified by the publisher), which are considered to be classic cards. The word “Autograph” will appear on the label, but will not be mentioned in the condition, and the cost of grading is that of a card without a signature, i.e. 12Eur.
Slab swap
If you have the old slab model (2018-2021), your slab has broken or you have an old label model you’d like to replace, you can request a slab change. For any change to the old slab model, a new analysis is carried out on the basis of the rating grid introduced with the new slabs (from December 2021).
The charge is 7 Euros per slab replaced.
