PCG is a global grading company with offices around the world, specializing in authentication and grading of trading cards and sports cards.
At Japan branch, you can both submit and pick up your cards directly in-store. Since grading is performed on-site, we also offer an express service that can complete authentication in as little as 24 hours. Many customers bring in cards they’ve just purchased from nearby shops, making it the perfect way to preserve their favorites in top condition and with a professional look. Whether it’s a rare autograph card, a pristine piece for your collection, or a well-played card full of memories, we welcome them all—from like-new to well-loved. We also accept non-TCG items such as wafer cards and manhole cards, so please feel free to consult us about grading those as well.

Very friendly, helpful & efficent! Very happy with our graded cards :) Will definitely go back
Thank you very much for the fast service. Incredible staff that helped us get our graded cards as soon as possible
I had some cards graded at PCG to keep a souvenir of my trip to Japan. Their one-day grading service is ideal for travelers who want to get their cards back quickly. In addition to a standard box for collectible cards, PCG offers a compact box, perfect for cards that are still in use, like the Heroes from Flesh and Blood or the Commanders from Magic: The Gathering. This allows you to protect your favorite cards while still using them in your deck. PCG accepts a wide variety of cards for grading: from cards won at Game Centers to retro TCGs from the 80s, and even cards from cult manga. An excellent service that I highly recommend!
