7-Stage Card Verification & Grading SOP

Facility: ARTHOME SP. Z O.O. Card Quality Bench, ul. Milczańska 30, 70-107 Szczecin.

Stage 1: Dual 365nm UV Luminescence Audit

Each raw card and graded slab is examined under calibrated 365nm ultraviolet illumination to inspect paper stock fluorescence, surface alterations, inking touch-ups, or counterfeit reprinting.

Stage 2: 50x Optical Loupe & Rosette Pattern Analysis

High-precision stereoscopic microscope inspection verifies offset lithographic rosette ink dot patterns, black ink layer trapping, and cardstock core thickness.

Stage 3: Sonic Casing Weld & Hologram Inspection

For PSA, BGS, and CGC slabs, ultrasonic welds are probed under polarized light to ensure the casing has never been frosted, opened, or swapped. Anti-counterfeiting holograms are verified against official registries.

Stage 4: Tamper-Proof Storage & Tracked Dispatch

Verified slabs are placed in fitted sleeves, double bubble-wrapped, secured between rigid armor boards, and sealed with tamper-evident security tape before DHL Polska dispatch.
