CERTIFICATION LOOKUP
Look up a card by its IGC number.
Enter the certification number printed on the slab. Published card records appear here with their details and available photographs.
THE IGC STANDARD
The grade lives in the details.
IGC condition reviews are built around the physical characteristics collectors inspect most closely. The goal is consistency, clear documentation, and a grade that can be understood—not just displayed.
Corners
Sharpness, touches, wear, fraying, softness, and structural integrity under close inspection.
Edges
Whitening, chipping, rough cuts, edge wear, and consistency across all four sides.
Surface
Scratches, print defects, dimples, staining, gloss, indentations, and visible surface flaws.
IGC GEM MT 10
Reserved for cards that meet the highest IGC condition standard.
An IGC 10 reflects exceptional presentation across centering, corners, edges, and surface.
Strong eye appeal
Sharp presentation
Minimal visible defects
High-end collector quality
THE IGC REGISTRY
A certification record should tell the story of the exact card.
IGC records give buyers a direct connection between the holder they see and the card originally documented in the registry.
Certification ID
A unique number tied to the registered card and holder.
Original Images
Front and back card photography retained with the record.
Card Identity
Player, year, set, card number, parallel, and serial number.
Condition Detail
Overall IGC grade plus supporting category assessments where recorded.
Registry Status
Active, sold, reholdered, retired, or corrected certification states.
Integrity Control
Registry matching helps expose mismatched numbers or altered holders.
FUTURE REVERSE LABEL CONCEPT
A new look for a future release.
This black reverse label is an updated design concept for future IGC slabs. The pictured QR artwork is illustrative; it does not verify a card. The example front and reverse numbers are not a matched certification.
- IGC identity remains immediately visible.
- Front label keeps the card identity and grade visible.
- Number lookup works for published records; QR scanning is planned for future slabs.
ABOUT IGC
Built for collectors who want more context behind the grade.
Integrity Grading Company (IGC) is a proprietary collectible-card evaluation, certification, and encapsulation brand.
IGC currently evaluates select cards owned by or offered through its affiliated seller and does not accept public grading submissions. The registry documents published cards and gives collectors more grading information.
IGC certification is not an appraisal and does not guarantee market value, future resale value, authenticity by another service, or the grade another grading company may assign.
