Locally operated in Yuma, AZ 85364 — in person by appointment; remote anywhere in the US.
How to reach us and what to send
Two ways to reach the practice, and a short list of what to include so the first message is complete. We reply with a written scope and quote by email before any work; nothing is quoted or opined in messages.
What to send
Collectors: cards or photographs
For an appraisal, an authentication opinion or a pre-grade, the first message is complete when it has:
- Photographs of the front and back, flat on a matte surface, straight on
- All four corners close up, and the edges in raking light
- A ten-second video tilting the card under a light so the surface shows
- Roughly how many cards, and whether any are already graded
- What it is for: insurance, a sale decision, an estate, a donation, a dispute, or curiosity
Shops: documented breaks and the hub
For a documented break, tell us:
- The product and how many boxes or cases
- Preferred dates, and whether the break happens at your premises or an agreed venue in the Yuma area
- Whether you want hits pre-graded and submitted through the hub (grading fees prepaid by you)
- Whether you want staff certified on the condition standard at the same time
Training and certification
For staff certification or a course, tell us:
- How many staff, and their experience
- When you would like to run it
- Seat licences or a site licence
Not in Yuma?
Send links to a shared folder (Google Drive, iCloud, Dropbox) or an unlisted video. Please do not email originals.
- The same photographs and video as above
- Your city, so the report states the right jurisdiction and the shipping option if cards need to travel
What happens next
Step 1: Message or email
On Instagram or by email. Say what you have and what it is for.
Step 2: Written scope and quote by email
Before any work. Flat or hourly, stated in writing.
Step 3: Engagement letter
What we will do, what we will not do, and the disclosures.
Step 4: Work and delivery
Inspection, report or recording, then delivery by email.
Before you message
Can you tell me what it is worth in a message?
No. A message starts a conversation; a value, authenticity or grade opinion comes only in a written report after an engagement letter.
Do you buy cards?
No. We never buy, sell, broker or consign cards, and we do not make offers.
Where do we meet?
The practice is locally operated in Yuma, AZ 85364 and has no storefront. In person means your home, your shop or an agreed venue in the Yuma area, by appointment.
