WHY CHOOSE VIRTUE GRADING
Experience Unmatched Expertise
With years of experience in collectible grading, our grading process is built with collector in mind. Our grading process focuses on three main categories: the card, the bubble, and the car. Errors in castings or packaging are considered rare in the community, we believe grading should not effect the value of those errors. Therefore, our process does not grade based on those errors.
(Example: an error in a cars casting or reverse placement will not affect the final grading. Our "car" grade is solely based on the condition of the die cast itself.)
Die-Cast Grading Highlights

Bubble Grading Scale
We grade every bubble in four categories Cut, Spacing, Surface, and Shape. For each grading category a card can receive one point. For Example: If a Bubble has minor scuffs on the surface it may receive a grade of .75, and a bubble with large visible scratches may receive a .25.

Card Grading Scale
We grade every card in five categories
Color, Corners, Edges, Shape, and Surface. For each grading category a card can recive one point. For Example: If a card has minor edge damage it may recive a grade of .75, and a card with more damage may receive a .25.

Final Grade
After grading all three areas we then total the score and provide a break down of each category.
Car Grading Scale
3.0
All cars will receive a grade 1.0 unless chipping paint or visible damage is seen. Defects in casting and placement are considered rare and do not negatively impact the value. Collectors should be encouraged to collect them.
SEALING AND PROTECTING
After grading, we place numbered holograms to the back of the die-cast card and seal it inside a Sterling case. We seal our cases with matching numbered holograms to ensure against tampering. The numbers printed on these holograms also match the number on the grading label inside the sealed case. If any of these holograms are tampered with or do not have matching numbers the grade should be considered void.
WHO WE ARE AND WHY

As collectors, we have found it hard to rely on sellers to provide consistent quality. With our grading process and tamper-proof system we strive to provide that consistent quality to the hobby and give buyers a name they can depend on.
