Slab & certify
The card is sealed in a serialized slab with a QR code linking to its public certificate and defect map.

🛡️ Our guarantee
Every PJG grade is backed by a tamper-evident slab and a QR-verifiable certificate, and we handle your cards with care in a secure, access-controlled facility. If a slab's QR doesn't verify on our site, it isn't ours.
