Authentication is the process of verifying the originality and authenticity of a trading card. Once a card is confirmed to be genuine and unaltered, it undergoes grading, which assesses its condition and overall quality. Mint Authentication uses a 10 point grading scale, including half-point increments (e.g., 8.5), to provide a precise evaluation. Click Here for more info.
