C3 Grading is a newer entrant to the grading space with a mission to bring clarity and fairness to the process. Each card is reviewed by two graders, and slabs include QR codes that link directly to detailed grading reports. These reports break down subgrades for centering, corners, edges, and surface, offering collectors full transparency.

With flat pricing, clear turnaround times, and submission kits designed for accessibility, C3 positions itself as a collector-first grading service. Its modern approach reflects the growing demand for transparency and simplicity in hobby grading.
