FAQ

SlabSharks is a platform for grading, consigning, and auctioning trading cards and collectibles.

Submit your cards through our platform, we authenticate and grade them, then return them slabbed with a certified grade.

Standard grading typically takes 2-4 weeks depending on current submission volume.

We grade trading cards, sports cards, and select collectibles across most major sets and manufacturers.

Pricing depends on card value and turnaround tier — see our Payout Rates page for current pricing.
