Ace Grading Submission – Standard (Includes Art Label)

This service allows collectors in Ireland and the UK to submit a small number of cards to Ace Grading without needing to meet large minimum submission requirements.

It is designed for casual collectors who want to grade a few cards safely, clearly, and without unnecessary complexity.

This is a limited open beta, with capped submissions to ensure quality and transparency.

Card preparation requirements (VERY IMPORTANT)

All cards must arrive:

• In a clean penny sleeve

We do not accept cards in:

• Top loaders
• Magnetic or one-touch cases

Cards sent in incorrect holders may be delayed or returned.

UK event drop-off (optional)

UK-based customers may drop cards off in person at selected events.

Cards must already be sleeved and in semi-rigid holders.
Cards are accepted as-is, without inspection or condition guarantees.

Availability depends on event schedule.

Turnaround times

Beta service notice

This is a limited beta service.
