Just got my first submission back. Love the look and packaging! Really impressed with the little booklet of the descriptions of why the cards graded as they were. Great company!

Just got my first submission back. Love the look and packaging! Really impressed with the little booklet of the descriptions of why the cards graded as they were. Great company!
I just got my very first submission back. I absolutely love how they are represented and the details to each grade. Just submitted a second order!
Got my cards today and I couldn't be happier!
Got mine back today. Very happy. I'm preparing for round 2 now.
Was hanging around the Columbus CardFest today and saw a LOT of folks with Degree slabs, so I came to check them out. Great looking slabs, and the folks who had them said it was super easy and quite consistent in grading. I will be submitting.
finally got them, they come really secured in the box and wrapped up to give the slabs that extra protection. Slabs are a little lighter and have a recessed back edge. They're pretty detailed on why you got the grades you did.
Very happy with my results. Love the explanation of each grade. Definitely sending a second order.
Just came in today 🔥💎
Got mine today and I'm so happy with the results 🙌🏾🔥
First submission returned today. Happy overall with everything from turn around to delivery. Another submission already on the way
Just received the first 5 I sent in just under a month ago and beyond happy with the results! Love the slabs and the label. Especially with the detailed info for the grade it received. Almost had straight 10s but 1 got a 9 but definitely happy. Will be sending more in soon!!!
Got this back today.
Legit company 💪🏼
I was Happy with my first submission. Already sent 10 more.
Got mine today. The cards include a grading analysis booklet that explains why each card got its grade! Plus it shows subgrades on the back of the slabs, they all come in individual protectors, and there's a QR code on the back. Overall very happy with the outcome!
I've graded with several companies, all the big ones, and Degree's online tracking is by far the best. It lets you know exactly where your cards are, with a day counter and a message as soon as they finish each stage. Love the process and the updates.
Extremely responsive. I totally screwed up my email address when I signed up and paid. I reached out and within 24 hours they told me I'd accidentally put an "i" at the end of my email address, and they fixed it for me. You don't see prompt and courteous customer service like that anymore.
If anyone is questioning this company, they are very honest. I sent in cards that had issues on purpose and they pointed out every issue with the cards. They are very professional.
Finally got mine back yesterday! Super happy 😁
Just received my first submission back. Overall, very happy. 1-10 2009 Steph Curry RC and 4-8's. But I love the grading analysis so I can look at what I've made mistakes on and do better on my second submission.
Got my first submission back today.
As much as I hate I didn't get 10's I loved the transparency of the grading and the booklet it comes with stating why it got the grades it did. Can't wait to send my second batch in!
My mom found my favorite childhood card a few months back...3 nephews were not kind to it over the years, but i (at 44) was so excited to see it again. I sent it off just to keep is safe...love that it got a 0! My son sent some tag teams off and our Espeon and Deoxys came back as a 10!
When you order your box they send you penny sleeves and top loaders, and before you confirm the order they give you the total. I've used them multiple times and you can track the progress on their website. Unlike one of the big name companies, they don't charge you more just because your card is valuable.
Happy with my first 5 just sent five more!
Sent this in for my son from my original collection. He was so excited to open his box this evening he even got a Espathra gem mint 10 too! Worth every single penny too, for how excited my son is and was about this gift!
🔥🔥🔥
I own a card shop in Western North Carolina. I absolutely love Degree Grading and would put their graded slabs above any of the current top 3 grading companies. They offer great prices and no membership tiers.
Not going to lie… I did get one PSA back, and the slabs feel way cheaper than Degree. Degree slabs have a little more heft.
Sent 6, thought I had at least two 10s… Got back three 9s and three 8s. Tough grading, which I like! The presentation box and the booklet with grading explanations are top notch. A++++ company.
Just got 5 cards back. Hopefully this company puts the work in to be recognized and respect because the presentation and packaging is top tier.

Degree rewards true quality and keeps top grades meaningful. Drag the sliders to see how surface, corners, and centering shape a card’s final grade.
