🔍 Our Evaluation Process

1. Intake

Each submission is documented, labeled, and assigned to your customer record before evaluation begins.

2. Inspection

Every collectible is carefully inspected for condition, defects, authenticity concerns, eye appeal, and overall grading potential.

3. Market Review

We compare the collectible against current market demand, recent sales, grading costs, and potential return on investment.

4. Recommendation

We provide our professional opinion on whether grading may be beneficial, whether selling raw may provide a better outcome, or whether another service may better fit your goals.

💵 Evaluation Fees

Evaluation fees are based on the number of collectibles submitted and the amount of professional time required to complete the inspection.

All evaluation and inspection fees are earned once work begins and are non-refundable, regardless of whether you decide to proceed with grading, consignment, or sale.

Current pricing is subject to change without notice.

❓Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a guaranteed grade?

No. Our evaluation is a professional opinion based on experience and observable condition. Final grades are determined solely by the grading company.

Can you tell me if my card will receive a PSA 10 or CGC 10?

No. No person or company can guarantee a final grade before submission.

How long does an evaluation take?

Evaluation times vary depending on workload, submission volume, collection size, and the complexity of the items submitted. Estimated completion times will be discussed after your submission is received.

Do I have to grade through Moonlight Collectibles?

No. You are under no obligation to use any additional services after receiving your evaluation.

Can you recommend another service?

Yes. Depending on the evaluation, we may recommend grading submission assistance, direct purchase, consignment, collection review, or simply retaining the item without grading.

🔒 Professional Standards

Every evaluation is performed using a consistent inspection process intended to provide honest, transparent, and professional guidance. Our goal is to help collectors make informed decisions while recognizing that grading outcomes remain solely at the discretion of the grading company.
