Graded Pokemon Slabs: Every Cert Number on the Page

Why the cert number leads every listing

A graded card is worth what it is worth because a third party put its name on the grade. That claim is checkable, so there is no honest reason to hide the number that lets you check it. Every slab here shows the grader, the grade and the cert exactly as they read on the label, and links the grading company’s own lookup so you can confirm the card in your cart is the card on their database before you spend anything.

The rest of the shop runs the same way. The singles shelf shows real stock counts and the price break table before the cart does, the buylist publishes its rates on the page instead of behind an email, and this shelf is stocked by the bulk people send us. Sell into it, take the offer as credit, and buy back out of it.

Questions collectors ask

How do I know the grade is real?

Every listing prints the grader, the grade and the cert number off the label, and links that cert to the grading company’s own lookup. Check it before you buy, not after. A graded listing that will not show you its cert number is asking you to take its word for it, and there is no reason to.

Can I pay with store credit from selling bulk?

Yes, and that is the point of the category. Take a buylist offer as store credit instead of cash and it is worth more, then spend it here. Credit sits on your account, does not expire, and covers part of an order if it does not cover all of it.

Are there price breaks on slabs?

No, and there cannot be. A slab is one object in one holder, so there is never a second copy to discount. The quantity price breaks belong to the singles shelf, where stacking copies of the same card is the whole idea.

Where do the slabs come from?

From the buylist and from what we grade out of it. Bulk arrives by the box, gets recounted by hand, and the cards worth submitting get submitted. That is why this shelf fills in waves rather than all at once.
