Yes—bulk package pricing is planned after launch. Rates, package sizes and availability will be announced when ready. The launch service price is $19.99 per card.

A $11.99 grading & processing fee applies, covering the human inspection of your card. The $8.00 slabbing portion of your prepaid $19.99 is refunded on your final order. The same fee and refund apply to disqualified cards. Return shipping and optional insurance are separate.

Altered, counterfeit or otherwise ungradable cards are disqualified from grading and slabbing. A $11.99 grading & processing fee still applies for the human inspection, and the $8.00 slabbing portion of your prepaid $19.99 is refunded on your final order.

Yes. The planned ordering flow lets you set an optional minimum grade per card. If the inspected grade falls below it, slabbing pauses and DGS requests your decision through your account and email. You have up to seven days to respond. Choose slabbing at the prepaid price, or return the card unslabbed. An unslabbed return keeps the $11.99 grading & processing fee for the human inspection, and the $8.00 slabbing portion is refunded on your final order. After seven days without a response, DGS proceeds with the prepaid slabbing and return.

Service is limited to the US and US territories. Standard return shipping is $8.95 for up to 20 cards; 21 or more cards use a variable rate. You arrange inbound shipping and are asked to insure your cards. The $8.95 return-shipping fee excludes insurance. Optional return insurance is offered separately after grading.

Introductory access is planned to be complimentary with a DGS account. Available access options and any applicable charges will be shown before you begin.

Preliminary grade — subject to final physical inspection. Staff inspect every physical card and may correct observations or change the final grade.
