Appraisal & authentication course
An online course that teaches a shop’s own staff how to assess condition, spot fakes and reach a defensible value opinion, built on the practice’s written standard. For shops that have no appraiser on staff.
Independent · Locally operated in Yuma, AZ · Remote nationwide
Know what your cards are, and what they are worth — on paper.
Written appraisals, authentication with the method shown, and sealed product opened on continuous video with every card's condition recorded. For collectors, card shops, insurers and attorneys. The practice never buys or sells cards; fees are flat or hourly, quoted in advance.

Local-AI grading & value toolkit
Software installed on the shop’s own hardware — nothing leaves the premises — that assesses a card’s condition through the practice’s method and produces a value estimate through the same pipeline the practice uses. Assistive: an assessment, not a grading-company grade; an estimate, not a signed appraisal.
