Trading Cards & Pokémon — Frequently Asked Questions

What collectors ask about authenticating, grading, and valuing trading cards and graded slabs.

How do I know a Pokémon or trading card is graded and genuine?

A genuinely graded card is sealed in a tamper-evident slab from a recognised grader such as PSA, BGS (Beckett), CGC, or SGC, with a printed grade, a unique certification number, and a label that can be verified on the grader's online population report. Loose cards are sold as found; check the holofoil pattern, font weight, and back-colour against a known authentic example, as counterfeits often have a glossier surface and slightly off-centre printing.

What do the grading numbers (PSA 10, BGS 9.5) actually mean?

Grading runs on a 1–10 scale measuring centring, corners, edges, and surface. PSA 10 (Gem Mint) and BGS 9.5 (Gem Mint) represent near-perfect cards; PSA 9 / BGS 9 (Mint) allow one minor flaw. A BGS 10 "Black Label" requires a perfect 10 on all four sub-grades. Higher grades command exponentially higher prices, so the slab grade is the single biggest value driver.

What makes a card "first edition" or "shadowless" and why does it matter?

On early Pokémon sets, a "1st Edition" stamp sits to the lower-left of the artwork and "shadowless" cards lack the drop shadow on the right of the picture box. Both are early print runs produced in far smaller quantities than later "unlimited" printings, so they are significantly rarer and more valuable when the grade is equal.
