Nova Grading

Nova Grading is a French card authentication and grading service for collectors of Pokémon, One Piece, and Lorcana trading cards. It combines expert examination with AI-assisted assessment to evaluate each card’s authenticity and condition, then assigns a grade and protects the card in a sealed, premium PMMA case. The cases are designed for clarity, durability, and secure preservation, with a personalized certification label.

Nova’s certification process covers secure receipt and inventory, detailed analysis, grading and encapsulation, and tracked return shipping. The company states that completed cards are returned within one to two weeks. Customers can choose from three services: authentication and encapsulation for €8.90 per card, grading with centering analysis and four subgrades for €10.90, or expert grading with a verifiable digital certificate for €16.90. Nova also offers online verification of certified cards, grading resources, population statistics, and sending instructions. Cards can be submitted directly through approved partner locations. With more than 20,000 cards certified, Nova presents its service as a practical way to authenticate, protect, and showcase a collection.
