About CALIBRE
A UK Pokémon and Lorcana card grading service built around one idea: a grade should be something you can check, not something you have to take on trust.

- 728of them on the four corners
- 91points around each corner
- 7 daysor less, from arriving to posted back
What we do
Every card that comes to CALIBRE is measured, not judged by eye. We take over 800 measurements per card - 728 of them on the corners alone, at 91 points around each one - plus the border, the edges and the surface, front and back. Every card is also checked by hand for authenticity, under calibrated lighting, before it's graded.
The card is then sealed in a numbered case and a full report goes live in our public Registry, so the grade can be checked by anyone - the measurements, the photos, all of it.
The facts
- UK-based. Your card never leaves the country.
- Pokémon and Lorcana cards, both graded the same way.
- £25 a card - return postage always on us.
- Posted back within 7 days of your card arriving.
- Every report is public - look up any CALIBRE cert by its number.
- Operated by Calibre Grading Ltd, company no. 17343831, registered in England & Wales. Registered office: 66 Paul Street, London EC2A 4NA.

“I built CALIBRE because a grade you can't check is just an opinion with a number on it. We show you the measurements behind the grade, so you can check it yourself - on any card we grade.”
