Our standards.
Our proprietary process.

The planned policy is to withhold a numerical grade while the concern is unresolved and explain the review outcome to the collector. Final handling, return and fee terms will be published before paid submissions open.

The planned fingerprint for eligible LORE Gem Mint 10 and 10 Gold cards helps compare a physical card with its recorded identity later. It supports identity verification; it does not replace the initial examination for authenticity or alterations.

The planned Standard service is $50 per card with a 14-business-day grading turnaround, or a refund of the applicable grading fee if LORE misses the commitment. Your eligible card is still graded, encapsulated and returned. The grading clock starts at official check-in, not when you save a card in your Locker or mail your package.

Carrier transit is separate from the grading clock. The guarantee covers the applicable grading fee; it is not a promise about resale value. Final clock rules, exclusions and refund instructions will be available before paid submissions open.

LORE plans to limit accepted cards to the volume the team can process within the published turnaround. The queue is intended to protect that commitment as demand grows.

Prepare up to ten eligible cards in your Locker, then submit when the Sunday queue opens at 8:00 PM Eastern. Saving cards does not reserve capacity. If you miss a place, keep your cards staged and review or update them for the next opening. A Sunday submission attempt keeps the staged cards active even when no place is secured. After eight weeks without a submission attempt, staged cards are removed and must be entered again. Editing cards or opening the app does not reset the activity period. Staged cards are not confirmed weekly reservations. Wait for confirmed acceptance and shipping instructions before sending cards.

The current preview stores your test Locker on this device. Live queue reservations and notifications are not active in the demonstration.

Two independent graders each spend three minutes examining your card, without seeing the AI grade or each other’s assessment. Any grade discrepancy, for any reason, receives a third review by our head grader. A second AI pass verifies the assessment; any new disagreement returns to the head grader before final approval.

This process is designed to reduce missed details and inconsistent decisions. Human authorization remains necessary before labeling.

An authorized human reviewer will approve the final grade under LORE’s own standards. AI supports assessment and verification; it does not bypass unresolved differences or authorize release on its own.

Independent human assessment means a grader records an initial judgment before comparing it with the AI findings. It does not mean outside certification.

No. The grade is earned by the card's condition, never by the owner's identity, membership, submission volume or service level. Founder privileges provide the published access and turnaround benefits. They do not change grading criteria.

Read the same-standard commitment

A QR code opens a record. Authentication requires examination of the physical card; verification also requires comparing that card and its holder with the correct recorded details. A copied code alone cannot establish authenticity.

The planned record will connect certification information with front-and-back imagery. Eligible 10 and 10 Gold cards are also planned to receive an exact-card digital fingerprint. The sample lookup and report demonstrate the experience; no live authentication or fingerprint match occurs here.

LORE’s planned review process lets you raise a specific concern, have the evidence examined by a qualified reviewer other than the original final decision-maker, and receive a written explanation. The same grading standards apply to every collector.

Buyers determine resale value. LORE does not promise that its grades will sell for the same price as PSA, Beckett or another grader. Our focus is consistent examination, clear explanations, presentation and dependable service.

Any comparisons shown in the preview are illustrative, not evidence of completed LORE sales. A grade from another company does not automatically determine the LORE grade.

No. Holiday-label eligibility follows the grade the card earns. Only qualifying Gem Mint 10 and 10 Gold cards can receive a holiday label, subject to that event's published allocation rules and availability.

A 500-label event means 500 labels total across the eligible cards in that event, not 500 for each player. A sequence number identifies a label's place in that run. It does not change the original card's manufacturer print run, guarantee a unique card-and-label combination, or promise a resale premium. The population report will distinguish those counts when live records are available.
