We've been building GradedVendors to answer a simple question: who can you actually trust when buying cards online?
The grading system gives you a score. But a score only tells part of the story. This blog is where we tell the rest.
What you'll find here
Vendor Spotlights — deep-dives into sellers who've earned the community's trust, what makes their service stand out, and what to expect when you buy from them.
Vendor Alerts — when the community flags a pattern of bad behaviour, we'll document it here so buyers can make informed decisions before hitting checkout.
Show News — coverage of upcoming card shows, convention announcements, and vendor participation lists so you never miss a local event.
Community — hobby discussion, grading tips, and insights from collectors like you.
How reviews become grades
Every review on GradedVendors maps to a numerical grade:
- 5 stars → 10.0 / Pristine
- 4.5 stars → 9.0 / Mint
- 3.5 stars → 7.0 / Good
- 2.5 stars → 5.0 / Fair
Grades aggregate across all reviews to give each vendor a single, honest score — no paid placements, no boosted listings.
Want to contribute?
If you have a vendor story worth telling — good or bad — leave a review. The community depends on honest accounts from real buyers.
See you in the hobby.
