UK-based, collector-focused, and the first in the UK to launch an AI-powered card grading system.
“SSINT. was built on a simple belief: collectors deserve clarity, security, and confidence in every grade. By combining advanced technology with expert oversight, we’ve created a grading system that is transparent, consistent, and designed for the future of the hobby.”— Laura, Founder
who we are
SSINT (Specialised Services in Inspection and Notation of Treasures) is a UK-based trading card grading company dedicated to delivering collectors the highest standards of precision, security, and trust. We are proud to be the first UK company to develop a home-grown AI grading system, combining advanced technology with expert human oversight to ensure every card is evaluated fairly and accurately.
SSINT. is a registered trademark of SSINT Ltd., and our official title online is SSINT Grading – UK TCG Grading. Trusted by collectors of Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, sports cards, Kayou, Card.Fun, and custom artist cards, we focus on protecting, preserving, and presenting the story of every card with clarity and confidence.
What Makes SSINT Different?
At SSINT, we believe every card tells a story — and our mission is to protect, preserve, and present that story with the highest standards of quality, detail, and security. Unlike other UK card grading companies, we focus on premium materials and innovative technology that collectors can trust:
AI-Powered Grading
Advanced damage detection and centering tools enhance grading accuracy, supported by expert human review.
Laser-Engraved Aluminium Labels
Every card graded by SSINT features a bespoke aluminium label, laser engraved with card details and finished by hand with our authenticity badge. No paper labels, no stickers — just secure, tamper-proof grading.
Custom-Fit Slabs
Our ultrasonically welded, UV-protected cases are engineered in multiple sizes (35pt, 130pt, 180pt) to perfectly protect everything from standard TCGs to thick sports patches. Cards sit securely inside — we do not use penny sleeves.
SSINT Legacy Spectrum
Our proprietary grading scale goes beyond numbers to capture a card’s condition, visual appeal, and historical context. Each numerical grade is assigned a unique name and abbreviation, providing collectors with clarity far beyond traditional labels.
Creative Legends Tier
Exclusively for custom artist cards, recognising the work of independent creators and giving collectors the chance to grade hand-drawn and digitally designed cards with proper credit.
LegendMark
Authentic signatures are clearly designated on our slabs, ensuring confidence for buyers and sellers.
Full Language Support
We cater to all card languages. Japanese, Chinese, and other non-Latin text appear on the label as printed on the card, rather than abbreviated (e.g., no “JPN”), giving collectors a precise and faithful representation of their card.
Most Detailed Labels
Where possible, we avoid abbreviations and provide complete information for ultimate transparency.
Collector-Focused Service
Our team genuinely cares about your collection, and there are no hidden fees or upcharges based on a card’s value. You simply pay for the service level you choose, ensuring transparency and fairness for every collector.
