International Grading Corporation - IGC
Welcome to IGC (International Grading Corporation)
Based in London, UK, and serving clients globally, IGC is a company you may not have heard of… yet. For many years, we have been providing expert Grading, Valuation & Trading solutions for a diverse range of products, including, but not limited to: trading cards (sports and non-sports), vinyl records, cassette tapes, CDs, VHS and Betamax tapes, reel-to-reel, comics, Video Games & Console’s, Used & Unused Events Tickets, memorabilia (spanning music, entertainment, movies, film, and television), anima, posters, promotional items, coins, notes, government and corporate bonds (including rare share certificates and trading slips), sneakers (trainers), toys, militarily items, watches, clothing, vintage items and even multi-million-pound, dollar, euro, or yen assets, such as cars, motorbikes, yachts, property (residential, office, warehouse and land), artwork (physical and digital), gaming machines, and much much more.
Put it this way: we are a company that loves a challenge. There is nothing we can’t grade. If you have a product with a part number or product ID, we can grade, value, and trade it for you. Here are a few examples of items we graded in 2024/25:
1. A Rugby Premier League UK Trophy for “Try of the Season.”
2. Over 90,000 signed items, ranging from tickets to boxing gloves, player-worn baseball caps, and The Amazing Spider-Man No. 1 12c US Copy, graded 8.6.
3. A brand-new, sealed 2007 iPhone 1, graded 9; a badge from a Sex Pistols tour; Wham! The Final boxset; and a series of brand-new, sealed Damien Hirst T-shirts from 1991.
As you can see from the examples above, we will grade anything and everything!
Don’t throw away or donate anything without consulting us first!
You might be sitting on a hidden gem without even knowing it. For example, people often move boxes of vinyl records from loft to loft when moving homes. Inside, you could have a Beatles White Album, a rare Jimi Hendrix album, or even an Elvis Presley “Speedway” with postcards still inside. These items are highly desirable and could be worth thousands! The same applies to comics, toys, video games, and consoles—the list is endless, and so is the potential value of these items!
What sets us apart from our competitors is our dedication to offering a personalized service
Tailored to meet the evolving needs of our clients. With extensive experience in the collectibles market, we are proud to be the go-to choice for grading items that many others have never considered eligible for evaluation.
Our clientele includes private individuals, corporate entities, and institutional clients, each with specific requirements and strict timelines. We pride ourselves on utilizing the best available personnel and technology to ensure that every project is executed to the highest standards. This commitment to excellence has fostered long-lasting relationships, with many clients returning to us and recommending our services to others.
Our grading processes adhere to rigorous guidelines that set us apart within the industry. We are excited to soon offer our cutting-edge services to clients of all sizes, ensuring that your treasured items are accurately graded, appraised, and securely time-locked. This process ensures your items are ready for either long-term storage in your collection or for consignment through our proprietary trading platform, Raiden.
Raiden is a bespoke trading platform where we act as a market maker, ensuring there is always an available bid and offer price for your items. As we are client-driven, we will continuously add products on a 24/7, 365-day basis and offer advice on the best way to make bids or offers. It is important to note that while we provide insights, this is not investment advice. Prices, like in any market, fluctuate based on various factors, but in our market, the prices are dictated purely by supply and demand. A product is worth only what someone is willing to pay for it. Historical data, market charts, and deep knowledge of the industry are all important, but human sentiment plays a significant role.
Collectors often buy items for various reasons, such as limited editions (for example, a comic book with a print run of 10,000 copies, with 10 signed copies). Both versions may have fantastic market prices—$100 for one of 10,000 copies and $200 for one of the 10 signed copies. To maximize the value of these items, the first step is to have them graded and sealed. While we cannot guarantee exact figures, we estimate that by getting an item graded, it could double in value, and our track record shows that items graded by us have, on average, increased by over 300% instantly.
Buyers value graded items because:
1. Time Efficiency: Buyers don’t have to wait for the item to be graded by another company, which can take anywhere from 6 to 18 months.
2. Cost: A pre-graded item comes with all the necessary grading and supporting documentation, so whether you’re a short-term or long-term trader, you’ll have the physical product in hand.
3. Expertise: Buyers know that their item has been appraised and graded by experts who specialize in that specific product range.
All clients who choose to have their products graded by us are given direct access to a dedicated product manager. Should you have any questions or concerns, your product manager is available to assist you. Once you’ve used our services, you will quickly understand how we work and will be paired with an expert who will always be available for you and have your best interests at heart.
At IGC, we are committed to professionalism and confidentiality in all of our projects. We look forward to partnering with you and hope to build a long-term relationship based on trust and quality.
Our Promises to You (as part of our charter):
1. Local Support, Global Reach: We do not outsource customer service to call centers located thousands of miles away. We ensure that our support is local, and with offices around the world, we can assist you in your native language.
2. Human Expertise: We do not rely on AI chatbots for answering in-depth or complex questions. Our team consists of experts with years of market experience and knowledge who will provide you with reliable, tailored answers.
3. Clear Communication: We promise to communicate with you in simple, straightforward language. We believe in a “keep it simple” approach and treat all our clients with the utmost respect, valuing your input.
4. Building Long-Term Relationships: While maintaining professionalism, we place great emphasis on understanding our clients’ needs and working toward long-lasting relationships. Over the years, we have built strong ties with both buyers and sellers, and this commitment will remain unchanged.
5. Human Judgment Over Software: While we use cutting-edge technology, we understand that human judgment is irreplaceable. Our grading, valuations, and appraisals are based on expert opinions, considering every aspect of the item in question. Should you not be satisfied with the grade you received, we offer you several options:
• Second Opinion: You may request a second opinion, but please note that the new assessment may differ from the original.
• Alternative Grading: You are welcome to use another company for a second evaluation, though we are confident that you will be 100% satisfied with the service(s) we provide to you. grading valuations & trading services pokemon cards, memorabilia, valuations, signed items graded grading, valuations & trading services.
