About

The Graded Market story

Three rules, no exceptions: every seller is identity-verified, every slab sits in an EU vault, every order is protected by escrow until it's in your hands.

Why we exist

Europe deserves a dedicated home for graded cards

How Graded Market works — verified seller, graded card, secure buyer

The market for graded TCG cards grew fast over the last few years. In Europe, buying one remained painful. US marketplaces meant customs and long cross-border shipping. Generalist platforms were a time sink, mixing professional sellers with individuals and offering no real guarantee on what you were buying.

On top of that, counterfeits are a real problem. Fake raw cards have circulated for years, and fake graded slabs, with cloned labels and recycled cert numbers, are now showing up too. At the price points this market reaches, cards of this value need to be verified by a professional who stands behind the authenticity of every item sold, not left to the buyer to figure out after the fact.

Graded Market closes that gap with infrastructure that's boring on purpose. Verified sellers, cert lookups against the grader's own database, EU-based vaults, Stripe Connect escrow. Nothing exotic, just the pieces that should have existed for years.

Principles

What we refuse to compromise on

I

Verified sellers only

Professional accounts, identity-verified via Stripe KYC, with a declared vault address. No drop-ship, no anonymous listings.

II

Funds in escrow

Payments stay on our Stripe platform balance until three days after delivery. If something goes wrong, refunds come straight from escrow.

III

EU vault, duty-free

Every slab ships from an EU vault. No customs, no import VAT surprises, no brokerage fees on intra-EU orders.
