How we know it's real.
HoloGrade™ combines computer vision, multi-spectral imaging and human review to detect counterfeits, reprints, alterations and trimming — before a card ever gets a cert number.
We map the rosette and stochastic dot patterns of genuine cards and flag deviations consistent with photocopy, inkjet and offset reprints.
Multi-angle capture compares foil refraction signatures to reference cards from the same print run.
Sub-millimetre edge profile analysis catches shaved corners and trimmed borders down to 0.2 mm tolerance.
We score scratches, indentations and re-surfacing artefacts using a 250-point sub-grade scale.
Every scan is checked against our certified population to catch cloned or duplicated cert numbers.
Borderline cases are routed to a senior grader before a certificate is issued.
Our guarantee
If a HoloGrade™ certified card is later proven to be counterfeit or materially altered, we'll refund the grading fee and buy the card back at the certified market value. Every cert is publicly verifiable.
