Free beta opens Nov 14

Should you grade it?

Snap a photo of your card and we'll let you know if it's worth grading. Don't pay grading fees* until you get an honest opinion.

* Grading runs about $50–$60 a card at PSA and SGC, plus shipping, or you can enter your own estimated cost.

What brings you here?

20 free Slab Snaps during the beta. We'll only email you about Slab or Not.

Coming soon: Pokémon, TCG and non-sports cards.

Built by a collector, not a hype machine

Slab or Not comes from EmeraldCards, a Pacific Northwest card seller that has shipped thousands of eBay orders. We built it because grading got expensive, and "send it!" isn't advice.

We won't predict your grade or promise a 10. We'll show you the math and the condition issues, and tell you straight.
