Under the Holo
Submissions

Send your card
under the holo.

Physical inspection under directional lighting and 40× magnification, documented photograph by photograph, and returned with a Holo Passport its next owner can verify from the case.

Opening soon — invitations go out to the early-access list first

Independent estimate. Not a certified grade.

How submission works

Four steps, start to finish.

Nothing is sealed, trimmed, pressed or chemically treated. Your card comes back exactly as it left, documented.

  1. 1

    Request an invite

    Tell us what you collect and what you would send first. We open submissions in small batches so every card gets the bench time it needs.

  2. 2

    Ship your card

    Sleeved, in a rigid holder, inside a tracked and insured parcel. You declare a value at submission; that value sets the handling tier and the cover.

  3. 3

    We inspect & document

    Centering, corners, edges and surface measured under directional light, photographed at 40×, every defect mapped and written down — including the ones that hurt the estimate.

  4. 4

    Passport, label & return

    You receive the digital report, a QR-linked passport anyone can verify, an optional display case with its printed label, and the card back via tracked shipping.

Cards are handled with gloves in a controlled workspace and stored in archival sleeves. The display case is never sealed: you can take the card out at any time without damage.

Every figure we publish is a documented condition estimate, not a certified grade, and a grading company may reach a different number.
