KNOW THE GRADE.KNOW WHY.
Gem Core grading reports show the evidence behind the grade, from centering to surface, corners, edges, scans, and reviewer verification.
Measured centering
Borders are measured instead of guessed by eye.
Surface defect review
Controlled lighting helps reveal print lines, scratches and haze.
Repeatable edge checks
Each edge is inspected with the same strict process.
Human corner review
Sharpness, wear and shape are verified by a reviewer.
Digital records
Transparent cert pages and pop report lookup stay accessible.
