Grade with CGC, Now in the UAE
Collectors and dealers in the Middle East now have access to CGC's world-leading certification services for TCGs, sports cards and non-sports cards.

All Card Grading, All in One Place
CGC Cards is the division of CGC devoted to the expert grading of TCGs, sports cards and non-sports cards. Pokémon, Topps, Magic: The Gathering, Panini, Marvel, Upper Deck, Yu-Gi-Oh! and much more — they’re all here! CGC is part of the Certified Collectibles Group, whose mission is to empower collectors with services that ignite passion, create value and build community.

Grade to Increase Value
Grading includes authentication, an expert evaluation of condition and encapsulation in a tamper-proof holder. A savvy collector can see a significant return on investment from grading cards. Sales at auction and online transactions all show that graded cards sell for more than ungraded cards because collectors, dealers and retailers trust and value the grading process.

Grade to Protect
After grading, each card and a CGC label with its description, grade and unique certification number are encapsulated in a display-worthy holder that provides superior long-term protection from damage, counterfeiting and tampering. The benefits of encapsulation alone are reason to grade, and the holder preserves your cards for generations of enjoyment.
