FROM ARRIVAL TO YOUR COLLECTION
11 steps. Care at every stage.
- 01
Received & checked in
Your shipment is verified against your submission and each card’s arrival condition is documented.
- 02
Identified & barcoded
Set, year, card number and variation are recorded. A unique barcode tracks your card throughout its journey.
- 03
Careful surface cleaning
Suitable cards receive gentle removal of loose dust and debris for clear inspection. No restoration or alteration.
- 04
Identity & barcode rechecked
The card, submission record and tracking barcode are matched again before grading.
- 05
Proprietary AI analysis
LORE’s proprietary AI assesses centering, corners, edges and surface and records its proposed grade.
- 06
Two independent human graders
Two graders spend three minutes each examining your card. Neither sees the AI grade or the other grader’s assessment before submitting their findings.
- 07
Third review by the head grader
Any discrepancy in the grades, for any reason, receives a third review by our head grader.
- 08
Second AI verification
A second AI pass verifies the assessment. Any new disagreement returns to the head grader before final approval.
- 09
Labeling & encapsulation
The approved grade, card identity and certification details are matched to the label before the card is sealed.
- 10
Final quality control
Card-to-label accuracy, grade, holder clarity, seal integrity, QR code and certification lookup are checked.
