Pre-grade first. Grade only what deserves it.
Scan a card in iCollecta and SlabVision™ gives you an estimated pre-grade, not official grading, with an APG Passport™ record. If the card deserves it, the Passport prints a prepaid, insured label, trained graders at the Accurate Grade authorized grading facility confirm the grade, and the card comes home sealed in the Accurate Grade shell. Scan it again and the Passport shows the sealed state.

Organize. Value. Pre-Grade. Connect.™ One account, one card record. The pre-grade you take in iCollecta is the Passport you submit, and the slab that comes back scans into the same record.
Scan. Decide. Seal. Scan it again.
The pre-grade is free and takes about a minute. Everything after it is your call, and every step is written to the same Passport.
- Step 1
Scan
Scan the card in the iCollecta app or at a SlabLab pre-grading kiosk. SlabVision™ returns an estimated pre-grade, not official grading, and opens the card’s APG Passport™ with a PGP serial.
- Step 2
Decide
Read the pre-grade and the evidence behind it. If the card deserves a confirmed grade, the Passport generates a prepaid, insured shipping label. If it does not, keep it raw. Nothing ships.
- Step 3
Seal
At the Accurate Grade authorized grading facility the card is matched to its Passport, trained graders confirm the grade, and the card is sealed in the Accurate Grade shell with the same serial inside.
- Step 4
Scan it again
The card comes home. Scan it again in iCollecta and the Passport shows the sealed state, the confirmed grade and every event on the Slab Ledger™, from the first scan on.
SlabVision™ returns an estimated pre-grade, not official grading. The confirmed grade is issued at an Accurate Grade authorized grading facility.
What happens when the card arrives
Five steps, in order, each written to the Passport as it happens. The serial is never typed by anyone. It travels with the card.
- 1
Verify against the Passport
The package is opened on camera. The card is photo-matched and fingerprint-compared to the record written at the first scan. No match, no grade.
- 2
Confirm the grade
Trained graders inspect the card against the Accurate Grade standard: centering, corners, edges and surface, each with a written reason.
- 3
Seal
The card is sealed in the Accurate Grade shell. The label, the QR and the Passport serial are sealed inside with it. The grade is now APG Verified.
- 4
Photograph
The sealed slab is imaged front and back and the images are written to the Passport, so what left the facility is on the record.
- 5
Ship
The slab ships back insured, signature required. The Passport updates at each stop. The serial is never typed by anyone. It travels with the card.
A different material on purpose
Acrylic cracks. Polystyrene scratches and yellows. The Accurate Grade shell is built to hold the card, the label and the serial for the life of the record.
Tritan™ copolyester body
Molded from Eastman Tritan™ copolyester, a glass-clear material used in medical devices. Virtually unbreakable and more scratch-resistant than polycarbonate.
Tamper-evident closure
A full-perimeter weld that cannot be opened and closed again without leaving evidence. A compromised seal is visible and is recorded on the Passport.
Label and QR sealed inside
The label is printed on security stock and sealed inside the shell. The QR resolves straight to the Passport record.
Optional NFC
An NFC chip with a tamper loop can be paired to the serial at sealing. Tap the slab with a phone to open the Passport, no app required.
Same serial as the Passport
The serial on the label is the serial issued at the first scan, PGP-XXXX-XXXX-C. One card, one record, from raw to sealed.
Imaged before it ships
Every sealed slab is photographed front and back before it leaves the facility, and those images live on the Passport.
The whole history, not just the number
The pre-grade, the decision, the check-in, the confirmed grade, the seal and every later scan, on one record with one serial.

Plain answers
What is Accurate Grade?
Accurate Grade is the grading and sealing arm of the iCollecta system. iCollecta scans the card and SlabVision™ gives an estimated pre-grade, not official grading. When a collector decides a card deserves it, Accurate Grade confirms the grade at an authorized grading facility and seals the card in the Accurate Grade shell.
What is the APG Passport™?
The APG Passport™ is the card’s permanent record. It is opened at the first scan with a serial in the format PGP-XXXX-XXXX-C and holds the scan, the evidence report and every event after it. The log behind it is the Slab Ledger™, an append-only record that is never edited, only added to.
Is the SlabVision™ pre-grade an official grade?
No. SlabVision™ returns an estimated pre-grade, not official grading. It is there to help you decide whether a card deserves to be sent. The confirmed grade is issued by trained graders at the Accurate Grade authorized grading facility.
Why do I need an Accurate Grade account if I already use iCollecta?
The account connects one identity across three places: your iCollecta account, your SlabLab kiosk member profile and your Accurate Grade submissions. One login, one set of Passports, whether the card was scanned at home, at a kiosk or returned sealed.
When can I submit cards?
Submissions are opening soon. Create your account and connect iCollecta now and you will be the first to know. Your Passports will already be in place when the door opens.
What is the shell made of?
The Accurate Grade shell is molded from Eastman Tritan™ copolyester. It is virtually unbreakable, glass-clear and more scratch-resistant than polycarbonate. The closure is tamper-evident, the label and QR are sealed inside, and an NFC chip is optional.
How does the facility know the card is mine?
The card is matched to its Passport before anything else happens: a photo match against the first scan and a fingerprint compare of the card surface. The serial is never typed by anyone at the facility. It travels with the card.
Is the SlabLab kiosk open?
The SlabLab pre-grading kiosk is in development. Connecting SlabLab in your account now reserves your member profile, so the kiosk recognizes you on day one.
