Proudly Based in Qatar

At ABA (Authentication & Benchmarking Authority), every card goes through a careful step-by-step process to ensure accuracy and consistency. We follow internationally recognised standards so collectors know exactly what each grade means.

1. Initial Inspection – Each card is examined by eye to check overall condition.
2. Detailed Analysis – Using 10x magnification and digital tools, we review surface, corners, edges, and centering.
3. Cross-Checking – Multiple graders confirm the evaluation to maintain fairness and consistency.
4. Encasing – Once graded, your card is securely sealed in our custom slab, designed to protect against dust, scratches, and tampering 
5. Verification – Every slab includes a unique ID and QR code, linking directly to our database for easy fact-checking and authenticity verification.

Our slabs are built to protect, preserve, and present your collectables — keeping them safe while looking professional in any collection.

In grading, nothing matters more than accuracy and consistency. A grade only has value if it can be trusted — and that means applying the same standards, every time, for every card.

At ABA , we follow international standards set by the world’s leading grading firms, ensuring that our evaluations are reliable and recognised across the hobby. Every card goes through the same clear process, with multiple checks to remove subjectivity and protect fairness.

For collectors, that means confidence: when you see an ABA grade, you know it has been measured against the same trusted benchmarks used worldwide.
