Why SSINT Is One of the Best Trading Card Grading Companies in the UK
In recent years, the UK trading card community has seen an exciting boom, with collectors turning to professional grading services to protect and enhance the value of their cards. Whether you’re a fan of Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, sports cards, or custom artist creations, having your cards professionally graded adds credibility, improves resale value, and ensures long-term preservation.
But with several grading companies now available in the UK, how do you choose the best one?
At SSINT (Specialised Services in Inspection and Notation of Treasures), we believe our commitment to quality, innovation, and collector care sets us apart. Here’s why more collectors are turning to SSINT for their grading needs.
✅ Precision Grading for All Types of Cards
SSINT offers professional grading for a wide range of cards, including:
-
TCGs like Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Dragon Ball, Magic: The Gathering, and One Piece
-
Sports cards, including Panini, Topps, Fleer, and more
-
Custom artist cards, indie publishers, and hand-signed autographed cards
-
Premium cards like patch cards, 180pt thickness, and foil-stamped limited editions
Whether it’s a mass-market favourite or a one-of-a-kind creation, we’ve got you covered.
🛡️ Secure, Innovative Grading Cases
Our ultrasonically welded UV-protected cases are custom-designed to fit:
-
35pt standard cards
-
130pt thicker premium cards
-
180pt patch and memorabilia cards
Each card is sealed with a laser-engraved aluminium label, offering superior durability and authenticity protection. Unlike printed labels or stickers used by other companies, our labels include a hand-placed authenticity badge – offering a level of security that traditional grading companies simply don’t match.
✒️ Grading That Tells the Full Story
SSINT is proud to support the growing creative card community. When grading custom artist cards, we display the artist’s name and handle on the label and use our “LegendMark (SLM)” designation to highlight authentic autographs.
This makes SSINT the go-to choice for collectors and creators alike.
