Important details

Each Grade Defender is individually 3D printed. Subtle layer lines, texture, and minor surface variations are normal characteristics of the process. A compatible NFC-enabled smartphone and internet connection are required for the connected experience.

Grade Defender is a display and digital collection tool. It does not grade, authenticate, appraise, or guarantee the condition or value of a card. Market information is an informational raw-card signal and may vary by printing, finish, language, condition, marketplace activity, and available data.
