Submission Process

Public status labels stay clear while internal scan data remains behind protected workflows.


  1. Create submission

    Register an account, declare the card count, service tier, and a short description for each card.

  2. Print packing slip

    QAG generates a packing slip with your submission id and a QR code. Print and slip it into the box.

  3. Ship cards to QAG

    Send the physical cards to the QAG lab address printed on the slip, with protective packaging.

  4. Intake and identity check

    Staff verify the cards against your submission, confirm the sender identity, and photograph intake state.

  5. Controlled scan

    Cards pass through a high-resolution scanner under controlled light and angle to capture all four surfaces.

  6. Review and QA

    QA reviews the scan, condition, and surface coverage on every face before locking the grade and subgrades.

  7. Slab if selected

    If your order includes encapsulation, cards are sealed in a QAG slab with the seven-digit cert number on the label.

  8. Publish report

    The public cert is published on the site with grade, subgrades, approved evidence, and readable defect notes.

  9. Return shipping

    QAG ships the cards back to the registered address with a tracking number that arrives by email.

Payment

Transfer after QAG confirms the invoice

QAG checks card count, selected service, and total before slip upload opens, so payment matches the real work order.

01 Invoice confirmation first

Customers see the payable total after admin review and invoice confirmation.

02 Bank transfer and slip upload

Payment details appear in the customer account and email only after the invoice is ready.

Cert Report

Public cert reports without private data leakage

Only approved grade, subgrade, surface status, and customer-safe defect notes appear in the public report.

Before you submit

Concise answers to the questions collectors ask most often.


01 Do customer photos create an official grade?

No. Customer photos can support context or pre-submission checks. Official QAG grading requires physical intake and controlled QAG scanning.

02 Does QAG expose private detector methods?

No. Public pages explain controlled scans and human review while withholding formulas, thresholds, calibration assets, raw scanner data, and debug payloads.

03 What if surface review is incomplete?

The report says so plainly with statuses such as Surface Not Captured, Needs Review, or Confirmed.
